Following Symantec’s notice that the Backup Exec appliance line is being discontinued, cloud backup and disaster recovery provider, Zetta.net, has unveiled a migration program for those Symantec Backup Exec appliance customers whose devices are affected.
The program allows Backup Exec Appliance customers to sign up for Zetta.net’s cloud backup and DR service and receive up to 6 months free, as well as up to 20 percent off the cost of an annual contract. Previously, the company offered a migration promotion for Symantec Backup Exec Cloud customers following that service’s announced shutdown.
Zetta.net provides customers a SaaS-based cloud backup and DR solution with built-in WAN acceleration, designed to move large datasets over the Internet. The company claims its customers have achieved transfer speeds of up to 5TB in 24 hours. Additionally, the service requires no appliance or other new hardware, allowing users to easily deploy and manage their backups, as well as avoiding the potentially costly recovery delay of waiting for a replacement appliance after a disaster.
The Zetta.net service recently added support for server image backups streamed directly to the cloud. All customer data is encrypted in flight and at rest in SSAE16-certified Tier 4 datacenters, and the service is fully compliant with the HIPAA and ITAR regulations.
Current Symantec Backup Exec Appliance customers interested in migrating data to Zetta.net can find more information on the company’s website.
