Zetta.net Customer Base Increases 130% in 2013

Zetta.net (Zetta, Inc.) announced customer and partner growth in 2013, as demand for the company’s enterprise-grade cloud backup and DR solution continued to soar.

Customer base expanded by 130%, while its partner network grew by 310% over 2012 – demonstrating that the company’s simple, appliance-less approach and enterprise-grade performance address the demand for fast, secure and affordable cloud backup and DR.

As data continues to grow, businesses will no longer tolerate any lag time in having to backup 10TB of business critical data. Cloud backup performance for transferring larger data sets will be the game changer as customer demands for data availability increases.

Zetta.net’s enterprise-grade cloud backup and DR solution is optimized for large data sets between 500GB and 100TB, and transfers up to 5TB in 24 hours without requiring an appliance.

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.

Milestones in 2013:

• 130% customer growth
• 310% partner growth
• $8 million B round funding
