Abiquo with Zerto Disaster Recovery enables you to configure DRaaS in your multi-cloud platform so users can easily protect their VMs in private cloud datacenters with VMware vCenter
Introduction to DRaaS
The DRaaS feature uses Zerto to enable you to offer self-service disaster recovery on demand. This will enable users to supplement their on-demand backups, as part of a fully protected multi-cloud platform. When users protect VMs, Abiquo creates virtual protection groups (per virtual appliance) and manages VM protection.
...
To register your Zerto system in Abiquo, create Protection managers.
To control access to this feature, there are two new privileges, and by default only the Cloud administrator role has these privileges.

The Abiquo dashboard displays the number of VMs the tenant has protected with disaster recovery. For more details, see Configure dashboard display
As usual administrators can set limits for the DRaaS feature. In this case they can set limits at the tenant, tenant in datacenter, and VDC levels on the number of VMs that users can protect with disaster recovery as a service. See Manage enterprises#Setallocationlimitsforanenterprisetocontrolresourceusage
...
On the VM icon, if the VM is protected, the DRaaS shield symbol is drawn with a darker line.

Failover and failover testing
In this version, you should use Zerto directly to perform all failover tests and Zerto will perform failovers. After a failover, you can capture the VM into Abiquo in the recovery datacenter. See Import and capture virtual machines.
