SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwired - Jun 10, 2014) - Zetta.net today announced a report issued by 451 Research that distinguishes Zetta.net's enterprise-grade cloud backup and disaster recovery solution from competing solutions in the market. According to the report, Zetta.net's cloud-based solution has two clear differentiators: backup and recovery performance, and the fact that, unlike almost all of its rivals, it does not require a hardware appliance.

Speed and Performance
The report explains that Zetta.net's performance edge comes, in part, because of the company's expertise in Internet technology. By contrast, many of its rivals began as on-premise backup vendors and grew into the online side of offsite backup and recovery.
As a result of Zetta.net's focus on Internet performance, WAN-optimized technology is built into the solution for faster backup and recovery. Many of Zetta.net's customers have hundreds of TBs of production capacity and some are backing up and recovering as much as 5TB per day.
Bucking the Trend with Software-only Model
Among hybrid cloud backup vendors, the report points out, Zetta.net is virtually the only software-only vendor. "Against the other vendors in the hybrid cloud backup arena, Zetta's primary differentiators are speed and its software-only approach, which, compared with appliance-based alternatives, can translate into lower costs," said the report's author, Senior Storage Analyst Dave Simpson.
In addition to reduced costs for customers, Zetta.net's appliance-free approach is an advantage to managed service providers (MSPs) because it requires less management and maintenance. MSPs benefit from a low cost solution that does not require any new hardware to install -- their customers can be up and running in minutes, with backups and data recovery performed from anywhere.
