 # Deploy Zerto disaster recovery on Azure VMware Solution
 
+Zerto is a disaster recovery solution designed to minimize downtime of VMs should a disaster occur. Zerto's platform is built on the foundation of Continuous Data Protection (CDP) that enables minimal or close to no data loss. The platform provides the level of protection wanted for many business-critical and mission-critical enterprise applications. Zerto also automates and orchestrates failover and failback to ensure minimal downtime in a disaster. Overall, Zerto simplifies management through automation and ensures fast and highly predictable recovery times.

+**On‑Premises VMware to Azure VMware Solution Disaster Recovery**
 - An Azure VMware Solution private cloud deployed in the designated secondary region
 - VPN or ExpressRoute connectivity between the on‑premises datacenter and Azure VMware Solution
 
 **Azure VMware Solution to Azure VMware Solution Disaster Recovery**
-- AVS private clouds deployed in both primary and secondary regions
+- Azure VMware Solution private clouds deployed in both primary and secondary regions
 - Connectivity, like ExpressRoute Global Reach, between the source and target Azure VMware Solution private cloud.

 | **Virtual Replication appliance (vRA)**   | Linux VM to handle data replication from the source to the replication target. One instance of vRA is installed per ESXi host, delivering a true scale architecture that grows and shrinks along with the private cloud's hosts. The vRA manages data replication to and from protected VMs to its local or remote target, storing the data in the journal.    |
 | **Zerto ESXi host driver**   | Installed on each VMware ESXi host configured for Zerto disaster recovery. The host driver intercepts a vSphere VM's IO and sends the replication data to the chosen vRA for that host. The vRA is then responsible for replicating the VM's data to one or more disaster recovery targets.    |
 | **Zerto Cloud Appliance (ZCA)**   | Windows VM only used when Zerto is used to recover vSphere VMs as Azure Native IaaS VMs. The ZCA is composed of:<ul><li>**ZVM:** A Windows service that hosts the UI and integrates with the native APIs of Azure for management and orchestration.</li><li>**VRA:** A Windows service that replicates the data from or to Azure.</li></ul> The ZCA integrates natively with the platform it gets deployed on, allowing you to use Azure Blob storage within a storage account on Microsoft Azure. As a result, it ensures the most cost-efficient deployment on each of these platforms.   |
