Zetta.net Named a 2013 Emerging Vendor by CRN

SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwired - Aug 19, 2013) - Zetta.net today announced it has been named a 2013 Emerging Technology vendor by UBM Tech Channel's CRN Magazine. The annual list highlights hot tech startups making an impact on the channel and impression on the tech industry as a whole. These up-and-coming technology vendors have recently introduced a new product or technology that is not only innovative, but generates the high margins solution providers require in today's competitive marketplace.

Zetta.net DataProtect delivers 3-in-1 enterprise-grade cloud backup, archiving and local cloud-based disaster recovery functionality. Unlike other solutions, DataProtect is cloud-native, specifically designed for the Internet with built-in WAN traffic optimization and 10 patent-pending cloud performance acceleration technologies. The result is lightning fast speed that is often faster than local backup. Coupled with enterprise-grade data centers and security levels, Zetta.net delivers a high-performing, appliance-free solution that is being rapidly adopted by organizations looking to replace older, complex backup systems with an easy-to-deploy and cost-effective alternative.

The Zetta Partner Program not only minimizes conflict, but maximizes collaboration with partners across all functions in the company. The Zetta Partner Program delivers the following advantages to qualified partners:

• A higher value solution with backup, disaster recovery and archiving all for the price of backup alone, delivering a clear competitive advantage over more limited backup-only solutions
• The ability to capture recurring revenue that is predictable and will grow organically as data grows
• Lower customer support costs without the heavy price of on-site implementation and management
• Higher customer retention through increased satisfaction
• Effective and proven tools for marketing, sales, implementation and support
• Priority U.S.-based technical support for partners, 24 x 7 x 365
• Simple, pay-as-you-go pricing structure, without hidden costs

"Any technology vendor can claim to offer innovative products and groundbreaking technology, but only a select group can truly impact the marketplace with their offerings," said Robert Faletra, CEO, UBM Tech Channel. "The companies named to the 2013 Emerging Vendor list offer solutions that deliver as promised while creating the high margins that solution providers demand. We congratulate all the vendors for their commitment to delivering technological innovations that map to the needs of the dynamic channel market."

"We are very honored to be recognized by CRN as a 2013 Emerging Vendor," said Art Ledbetter, director of channels, Zetta.net. "Following on the heels of recent funding and more than a 200 percent growth in customer base over last year, we are continuing to make great strides in cloud backup and disaster recovery with our 3-in-1 solution that is helping MSPs and resellers achieve greater business success."

Vendors comprising the CRN Emerging Technology Vendor list were founded in 2007 or later, and have revenue under $1 billion. To view the list and read the editorial accompaniment visit www.CRN.com.
