Products

Zetta provides cloud backup and disaster recovery services, on-premises backup and archiving and is most notable for its network efficient data transfer. It uses lightweight agent software to replicate customer data, creating a second copy in Zetta's bi-coastal enterprise-grade data centers that is available for recovery after a data loss event, such as a server crash or natural disaster. Zetta's end-to-end disaster recovery service provides deployment-to-failback coverage and features upfront network, firewall, VPN connectivity configuration and automated disaster recovery testing. The software supports Windows, Linux, and Mac and has plug-ins for SQL, MS Exchange, Hyper-V, VMware, and NetApp filers.

Technology

Zetta has been awarded several patents for its backup and disaster recovery technology, including for minimizing network bandwidth for replication/backup, ensuring that the data that is replicated is the same, bit for bit, as on the source system and is able to scale to Internet volumes of data. Zetta's agent eliminates network round trips by having a client side cache of the server state, extensive parallelism and WAN optimization. Zetta also provides a mountable backup.
