Zetta is an American company specializing in cloud-based backup and disaster recovery for small and mid-sized businesses,[1] enterprises, and MSPs.[2]

Products

Zetta provides cloud backup and disaster recovery[3] services, on-premises backup and archiving and is most notable for its network efficient data transfer.[4] 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.[5] 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.[6] The software supports Windows, Linux, and Mac and has plug-ins for SQL, MS Exchange, Hyper-V, VMware, and NetApp filers.[7]

Technology

Zetta has been awarded several patents for its backup and disaster recovery technology, including for minimizing network bandwidth for replication/backup,[8] ensuring that the data that is replicated is the same, bit for bit, as on the source system[9] and is able to scale to Internet volumes of data.[10]

Zetta's agent eliminates network round trips by having a client side cache of the server state, extensive parallelism and WAN optimization.[11] Zetta also provides a mountable backup.

History

Zetta was founded in 2008 in Sunnyvale, California by Jeff Whitehead,[12] Lou Montulli, and Jason Harrison.[12] The current CEO is Mike Grossman.[13] Investors in Zetta include Sigma Partners, Foundation Capital, and Industry Ventures.[14][15][16] In July 2017, Marlin Equity Partners announced the merger of Zetta with Arcserve, based in Eden Prairie, Minnesota.[17]
