Kleinfelder Migrates 62TB of Data to Eliminate Failed, Slow Backups

Zetta.net (Zetta, Inc.) announced that Kleinfelder, an engineering consulting firm, selected its cloud backup and DR solution to eliminate failed and slow backups, boost data transfer speed and improve IT efficiency.

The migration of 62TB from MozyPro to Zetta.net resulted in a smooth and fast transition.

“Backups were slow and running into our work hours with MozyPro. In addition, 10% of our backups would fail in all of our 60 offices,” said Dave Johnson, ITS systems engineer, Kleinfelder. “After testing various solutions, we selected Zetta.net for its cloud backup speed, reliability of the solution and the high quality service from their support team.“

Fast Migration from MozyPro to Zetta.net
Kleinfelder needed a cloud backup solution that can move super-sized datasets over the Internet fast and easy. “Zetta.net’s world-class support team helped us move over 60TB fast with its WAN optimization, and without any hiccups,” says Johnson.

Enterprise-grade Cloud Backup Eliminates Failed Backups,
Improves Speed and IT Staff Efficiency
Having large daily change rates was a key issue for Kleinfelder, resulting in high failure rates with the previous solution. Since moving to Zetta.net, the company has saved five to seven hours a week in staff time managing backups and failed backups are no longer an issue.

Zetta.net’s fast cloud backup and recovery speed was a critical factor. During a recent office closure, Kleinfelder needed to move data from the office to its data center and they used Zetta.net to recover the data directly from the cloud.

“It took one-third of the time to restore data from Zetta.net’s cloud versus our local server to our data center,” says Johnson.

Third-party Speed Test Results: 40x Faster Cloud Backup
A recent third-party cloud backup speed test between Zetta.net and MozyPro was conducted. An initial 490GB of image backup was used for the full backup and 25GB of files were changed, representing an aggressive 5% change rate. The results revealed that Zetta.net achieves 40X faster cloud backup for the full backup and 9X faster for incremental backup compared to MozyPro.
