I’ve heard from customers more times than I can count that VSS is SUPER disruptive on their application. Some say it causes timeouts, some say users complain that things lock…

How do you say goodbye to a job that you’ve had longer than your kids? Let me tell you … it’s hard as hell. Joining Zerto I joined Zerto in August of 2015, after Sean Master convinced me to come…
