SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwire - Jul 31, 2012) - Zetta.net, a provider of 3-in-1 online server backup solutions, today announced that storage analyst firm Storage Strategies NOW reports that the company's use of the WebDAV (Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning) protocol is a distinct advantage for its Zetta.net DataProtect cloud infrastructure. The recent Delta Report authored by Storage Strategies NOW outlines how WebDAV delivers both the security and speed required by today's customers of cloud-based data protection, making Zetta.net unique in terms of throughput and recovery availability.
"WebDAV is latency independent and efficient over wide area networks, particularly when compared to file protocols like CIFS and NFS," said James E. Bagley, senior analyst, and Deni Connor, founding analyst of Storage Strategies NOW in the report. "By using WebDAV, the data is encrypted during transmission and stored quickly and efficiently. Connections are kept open continuously which reduces the amount of stress on the customer network and the internet in general. This is coupled with the speed and efficiency of Zetta.net's compression and incremental-forever update technology, making it unique in terms of throughput and recovery availability."
The July 2012 Storage Strategies NOW Delta Report, "Zetta.net 3.0 Uses WebDAV for Efficiency," provides a history of WebDAV and how it has been leveraged by Zetta.net 3.0. The report also provides an outline of the security and speed benefits users of the Zetta.net 3.0 cloud infrastructure receive as a result of the use of WebDAV.
Zetta.net combines backup, snapshot and replication into a single solution, making data protection extremely affordable and easy to use. It can be deployed within minutes with a single web-based management interface across all servers for fast backups. The latest version of DataProtect 3.0 supports 18 OS platforms (Linux, Windows and data types including: SQL, Windows System State, Microsoft Exchange, unstructured data and VMware.
"The Zetta.net engineering team has a deep background in internet communications technologies and as a result has developed the most efficient, productive and secure solution for cloud-based data protection using WebDAV," said Gary Sevounts, vice president of marketing for Zetta.net. "As recognized by Storage Strategies NOW, this unique approach to cloud backup and recovery is one of the key technologies that sets the Zetta.net solution apart and enables customers to benefit from superior speed, scalability, security and reliability for their data backup and recovery processes."
