“We are excited to partner with Zetta.net, which allows us to deliver a best-of-breed cloud backup and recovery solution to meet our customers’ demands,” said Richard Place, General Manager of Cloud Services, SHI International Corp. “Zetta.net’s service fills a business need for our customers’ by providing an enterprise-grade cloud backup and disaster recovery solution at a price that small and medium businesses can afford.”
In addition to offering Zetta.net’s services, SHI is also offering Zetta.net’s cloud backup and DR solution in its Cloud Marketplace, an online portal for customers to access solutions from leading cloud service providers.
“As a leading IT solutions provider, we are excited to team with SHI to deliver their customers an affordable, highly reliable, and easy to deploy and manage cloud backup solution,” said Jill Cooper, vice president of sales, Zetta.net. “As demand grows for cloud backup services, our partnership with SHI will extend our reach with businesses that require enterprise-grade performance, reliability and security.”
“We were looking for a low cost solution that doesn’t require any new hardware to install, that was easy to manage and just worked,” said Frank Rotondi, IT Director at HIAS. “Once I figured out the cost of replacing my old tape backup equipment and the tapes themselves, signing up was a no brainer. SHI completely addressed our needs. We were up and running in minutes with Zetta.net. And with the ability to manage our backups and recover data from anywhere, it frees me up to focus on other priorities.”

All data is encrypted in transit across the Internet and at rest in SSAE-certified data centers, with 99.99996% backup reliability and 100% recovery reliability.
