Zetta.net Achieves 279% Customer Growth in 1H14

Zetta.net (Zetta, Inc.) announced record customer and partner growth in the first half of 2014, as demand for the company’s enterprise-grade cloud backup and DR solution continues to accelerate.

New customers acquired increased by 279%, while its partner network grew by 357% over the same period in 2013.

Enterprises and MSPs are embracing cloud backup services that do not require an appliance to reduce time to deploy, management complexity and overall cost. And, as demand for higher data availability increases, cloud backup and recovery speed and performance is increasingly paramount. Zetta.net’s software-only approach with built-in WAN-optimization enables customers to transfer up to 5TB in 24 hours.

CEO Ali Jenab said: “We are seeing a big trend towards businesses and MSPs moving away from tape- and appliance-based backup products to pure SaaS-based solution offerings. Our software-only approach with built-in WAN optimization maximizes the benefits of cloud services, enabling faster deployment capabilities, ease of use and lowered costs.”

“Against the other vendors in the hybrid cloud backup arena, Zetta’s primary differentiators are speed and its software-only approach, which, compared with appliance-based alternatives, can translate into lower costs,” noted 451 research analyst Dave Simpson.

“Driven by our technology expertise in backing up large data sets over the Internet, the company continues to invest in product development,” said Jenab. “I’m excited about new major product innovations that will be unveiled over the next few months, which will continue to fuel our market traction and accelerated growth.”

Zetta.net’s cloud backup and DR solution simplifies and automates backups and provides flexible options to recover data via a web browser, from a mounted drive or local storage.
