Interoperability Matrix for All Zerto Versions
This document lists the platforms, their management tools, hosts, and other features supported by the following versions of Zerto.
• Zerto assumes that minor update releases and their patches are supported (for example, vCenter Server 6.7U1a, 6.7U1b or 6.7U1c), if the major update
is supported (for example, vCenter Server 6.7U1).
• For support of a specific release, see the Product Version Lifecycle Matrix for the support level of each Zerto release. The information in this document
covers the features and versions of 3rd party platforms that were tested by Zerto.
• Zerto will support new platforms, management tools and hosts listed in this document within 90 days of the general availability of a new platform release
for the Zerto Virtual Replication releases that are in the General Support Phase. See the Product Version Lifecycle Matrix for more details.
• Operating systems that reach their end-of-life as defined by their vendor will no longer be supported by Zerto.

Note:
Early Access: Zerto may be used in the VaaS provider environment by requesting early access from Zerto for use in non-production deployments.
**Controlled Access: THe Zerto Platform has been tested by Zerto in the VaaS provider environment and this configuration is documented on MyZerto in
Zerto’s technical documentation. Zerto customer access is controlled to allow Zerto and the VaaS provider to manually configure Zerto for optimum
performance. Customer must request controlled access from Zerto.
