NATIVE FILE SYSTEM
No new training
Easy to store, access, protect and find files using existing knowledge.
Easy cloud expansion
Extend your on-premise file system through bursting or rolling off to cloud.
Seamless integration
Native support for existing file-based applications.
Rapid deployment
No need for extensive new testing or change management qualifications.
SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
Rapid provisioning of scalable capacity.
Massive scale through high degree of parallelism available from our distributed computing infrastructure.
Continuous availability and better protection
Highly redundant architecture — Zetta can tolerate a multiple component outages throughout its infrastructure and continue to provide data access.
Modular expandability
Independent component upgrades without disrupting customer access or performance.
Leverage Zetta expertise
Automated infrastructure management with no data center footprint required.
