Performance and Resource Optimization (PRO) ensures that virtual machine hosts and virtual machines are operating in the most efficient possible manner. PRO generates recommendations for remedial actions based on alerts that the Operations Manager generates. You can configure PRO to implement the pre-defined corrective actions automatically or you can choose to perform these actions manually. During Dynamic Optimization, SCVMM migrates virtual machines within a host cluster to improve load balancing among hosts.

PRO is ignored by Zerto Virtual Replication. Dynamic Optimization is automatically disabled by Zerto Virtual Replication when updating recovered virtual machines in the recovery site from their journals. After promotion of data from the journal to the recovered virtual machine completes, Dynamic Optimization is automatically re-enabled.
