Zetta Software Upgrade Increases Data Transfer

Enterprise cloud storage provider Zetta Inc. announced ZettaMirror 2.0, an agent software upgrade that provides up to ten times the performance (data transfers) and enhanced controls for its cloud storage solution.

ZettaMirror is a part of the Zetta Data Protect Solution, which the company will be demonstrating at SNW Spring 2011, in the Emerging Technology Pavilion, April 4-7, 2011.

ZettaMirror intelligently replicates local data to a Zetta Virtual Volume creating a ‘primary-class’ second copy of the data that is always available online.

Among the new features are:

• a longer, more flexible snapshot-based version history, allowing users to save snapshots for thirty days, for six months, seven years, or more;
• the ability to sync and replicate multiple data sources from a single ZettaMirror agent;
• a faster, lower overhead data sync option that runs in a fraction of the time, especially for large data sets; and
• options for client-side resource throttling for bandwidth and disk I/O.

The company recently announced that it had quadrupled its storage footprint in the past six months, adding customers in various vertical industries from education to technology and business services. Among Zetta’s customers are UCLA, Didit, The Aura Group, WhippleHill Communications, New York School of Interior Design, Northwestern Health Sciences University, Saga Communications, MSProjectExperts, and Pictela.

One of these customers, The Aura Group, an interactive advertising agency, will be honored at SNW as a finalist in the Best Practices in Virtualization and Cloud Computing category of the SNW Best Practices Award program.
 
"SNW’s Best Practices Awards Program honors an elite group of IT management organizations that have demonstrated excellence in IT infrastructure deployment. Storage management is at the center of IT infrastructure and IT management and these finalists have shown they are on the leading edge of innovative technologies," said John Amato, vice president and publisher, Computerworld. "In the face of the past few years of economic turmoil that for many meant budget cuts and staff downsizing, these finalists have continued to innovate and deliver measurable business value. We are pleased to honor the achievements of these 20 finalists who have unlocked the true value of managing today’s information infrastructure."
