Faster Zetta DataProtect 4.7 SaaS Solution

Can backup 200TB in cloud and get DR-ready in 3 hours

Zetta.net (Zetta, Inc.) announced that its latest version of its DataProtect has broken new performance records with a direct-to-cloud backup speed that is 13x faster than appliance cloud backup speeds and 2.5x faster than backups performed locally to backup appliances.

Validated by a third-party benchmark test, users can, for the first time, backup simultaneously to local devices and the cloud with speeds that surpass traditional LAN backup to local devices or HDD.  As a result businesses, enterprises and MSPs alike can backup up to 200TB in a shorter backup window, even for very large datasets, and be DR-ready starting in three hours.

We were able to get 70TB to Zetta.net’s cloud quickly without bringing our network to a halt,” said Erick Panger, director of IT, TruePosition. “With its WAN-optimized capabilities and easy-to-use solution, Zetta.net’s cloud backup and DR service just works without any hiccups.”

Zetta.net’s latest advancements in direct-to-cloud technology are making slow, cumbersome backup appliances obsolete,” said Gary Sevounts, CMO, Zetta.net.  “Zetta DataProtect’s newest version allows users to more easily meet their backup windows and reduce their window of vulnerability with unprecedented speed, freeing them from costly, inefficient backup hardware.”

DataProtect’s direct-to-cloud approach reduces time to deploy, scales infinitely to meet growing data requirements, and cuts administration costs. The solution employs WAN acceleration technologies to rapidly transfer data, giving customers improved data workflow.

And, should a disaster occur, Zetta.net’s appliance free-solution avoids the delays inherent in waiting for a replacement appliance.  

Key benefits of DataProtect version include:

  • Protects more data in a shorter backup window – The new version leverages Zetta.net’s patented WAN optimization technology to transfer data 13x faster than the tested appliance, allowing nightly backups for a much larger dataset.
  • 200TB in the cloud – In the third-party test, Zetta.net used 1/20th of the available bandwidth 1Gb/s pipe – equivalent to a 50Mb/s connection. With a 1Gb/s connection and 2% change rate, the protected dataset could reach 200TB (40 x 5TB servers).
  • DR-ready in 3 hours – Simultaneous cloud and local backups eliminate delay in transferring backups offsite, reducing vulnerability to data loss and ensuring data is ready for recovery following a disaster. In the test, Zetta.net was DR-ready in 3 hours.
  • DR from anywhere – With an appliance-free approach, files, databases and server images can be restored from a mounted drive via a Web based browser from any location with no reliance on specific hardware.

Third-Party Benchmark Results: Zetta.net vs. Barracuda Backup 390
DataProtect’s direct-to-cloud backup performance was validated by a benchmark test conducted by Mediatronics. The speed comparison tested a Barracuda Backup 390 appliance with cloud storage against the DataProtect backup service, using a data drive image backup of 490GB and an incremental backup with a 5% change rate.

Results showed that Zetta.net’s direct-to-cloud backup was:

  • 2.5X faster than local backup to the appliance: Zetta.net completed image backup in 3 hours versus the local appliance, which took 7.5 hours for the same task. Incremental backups were 1 hour to the cloud for Zetta.net compared to 1 hour and 44 minutes to the local appliance.
  • 13X faster than appliance-based cloud backup: Zetta.net completed image backup to the cloud in 3 hours compared to the cloud backup appliance, which took 38 hours for the same task. Incremental backups were 1 hour to the cloud for Zetta.net compared to 6 hours to the cloud for the cloud backup appliance.

Cloud vs. Appliance-based Backup: Speed Test Results

DataProtect is a SaaS solution that moves large amounts of data quickly over the web for backup, DR and archiving. Designed to support multiple data types including unstructured data, SQL and Exchange data, VMware and Hyper-V virtualized data, NetApp as well as system state, it replicates data in its native file format directly to the cloud without an appliance or local staging drive. This improves uptime, lowers backup costs and allows for faster, more efficient backups & recoveries.
