The Zetta Founders’ Story: From Netscape to Cloud Storage

Wed, 16 May 2012 11:21:18 EDT

It was at Netscape, in the early days of the internet, when co-founders Lou Montulli and Jeff Whitehead first worked together and began to notice how the amount of their data was constantly growing, but the process for adding storage and protecting that data wasn't improving over time.

Data that's backed up to Zetta is ready to be restored at a moment's notice because it's identical to the data on your company's network and individual endpoints. Your data is never converted to a proprietary backup format (like with appliance-based solutions) or just dumped into buckets (like with that South American river storage).
