3-in-1 Solution Brings Enterprise-Grade Backup, Disaster Recovery, and Archiving Technology to SMEs and Distributed Organizations Starting at $225/month
SUNNYVALE, Calif. – October 22, 2012 – Zetta.net today announced it is redefining traditional hybrid cloud backup with its unique, appliance-free approach featuring Smart Cloud and new Lean Local Copy technology. Zetta.net's Smart Cloud, which integrates the functionality of backup, snapshot and replication technology, abolishes the need for a local appliance. Smart Cloud, together with the new Lean Local Copy feature, advances the hybrid cloud model to deliver fast, reliable data backup and recovery at a fraction of the cost of backup alone.
Zetta.net delivers enterprise-grade 3-in-1 backup, disaster recovery and archiving. Because the SaaS-based solution eliminates the cost and management complexities associated with appliance hardware, it is particularly attractive to small/medium businesses, enterprises with distributed office locations, and managed service providers (MSPs). Remote offices and MSPs are no longer required to purchase and manage multiple appliances across distributed locations, and any size business can now enjoy enterprise-grade data protection at an affordable price.
Unlike the "dumb cloud" of first generation hybrid cloud backup, Zetta.net's solution was architected from the ground up with integrated backup, snapshot and replication technology built into its Smart Cloud and its lightweight agents. This removes the need for appliances altogether, and reduces local storage footprint. As a result, offsite backup and recovery is significantly faster, more efficient and much simpler to deploy and manage.
With the introduction of Lean Local Copy, Zetta.net builds on its strategy of innovating a next generation hybrid cloud backup model. Lean Local Copy enables companies to store the most recent copy of large files within their local storage environment so that critical data is easily and quickly accessible when needed. Because the intelligence of backup, snapshot and replication resides in the Zetta.net Smart Cloud, customers can restore and recover their data from either the cloud or their local network copy with equal ease, and without third party hardware or software. Companies benefit from a full range of functionality that would only be achieved otherwise by investing in disparate products for local, offsite, archiving and disaster recovery.
A second new feature, flexible API Scripting, extends Zetta.net's plug-in architecture to accommodate extra functionality or applications as required by companies. The scripting feature enables enterprises or MSPs to deliver added value to customers in specialized environments, such as healthcare or the legal industry, with the ability to customize the solution to meet market-specific requirements.
