SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Enterprise cloud storage provider Zetta announced today that the company has 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 using the Zetta Storage Service for their data protection needs are UCLA, Didit, The Aura Group, WhippleHill Communications, New York School of Interior Design, Northwestern Health Sciences University, Saga Communications, MSProjectExperts, and Pictela.
“Didit provides a real-time web advertising bid management system and our data is key to our success,” said Evan Hoffman, director of technology operations at Didit, a search marketing agency. “We looked at building our own backup system based on Amazon S3, but Zetta provided better value with a secure, turnkey solution that required very little configuration on our end and a great UI.”
“With the cloud, I pay only for the storage I'm using, and basically, the storage is unlimited; I can expand it any time,” said Douglas Shaw, CTO at The Aura Group, an interactive advertising agency. “With dedicated storage, I had to plan ahead and make sure I had overhead available, so I didn’t run out of storage.”
“We understand the benefits and flexibility of a SaaS model as we deliver hosted solutions to our own education customers,” said Doug Smart, IT manager at WhippleHill, a company that provides communication solutions for independent schools. “We are happy with the Zetta backup services that we have used for a year, and are now looking at additional ways to leverage the Zetta Storage Service.”
“Since the launch of Zetta Data Protect in August 2010, we have quadrupled our customer footprint,” said Ali Jenab, CEO of Zetta. “It is our customers’ need for enterprise-level data protection services that is driving cloud adoption today. We offer them immediate offsite data protection, 30 minutes to live operation, and direct access to file-based data in the cloud for instant recovery through parallel, encrypted data transfers. With no appliance to install or manage, Zetta Data Protect can be operational in minutes.”
