Today Arcserve, LLC announced that it had acquired Zetta, a leader in cloud-first disaster recovery (DR) solutions and data center IP.

With this latest acquisition (whose terms were not disclosed), Arcserve is unveiling its disaster avoidance roadmap to the first, affordable near-zero data loss disaster recovery across cloud, virtual and physical infrastructures.
Arcserve already offers a cloud service through its Unified Data Protection (UDP). In a hybrid backup model users can automatically replicate backup images from an on-premise recovery point server (RPS) to a corresponding RPS in the cloud (disk-to-disk-to-cloud). With the acquisition of Zetta, Arcserve can combine the technologies into one solution enabling customers to implement on premises, hybrid cloud, and direct to cloud from a single pane of glass.
Adding Zetta’s capabilities to Arcserve UDP is ideal for the following:
- Businesses who need a quick and simple cloud on-ramp without on-premise hardware requirements, such as in branch or small offices where on-premise may not be desired or practical
- Users who want a seamless cloud networking, automation and management platform, and who wish to automatically and securely move large volumes of data over networks to data centers worldwide
- Organizations with systems that cannot tolerate downtime and want to benefit from rapid push- button failover of an entire IT environment in minutes, industry-leading cloud backup speeds and 100 percent recoverability with validated data integrity
- Channel partners looking to efficiently and profitably adopt and manage cloud offerings, with features such as multitenancy, multi-customer administration, tracking, and invoicing
Arcserve also announced its disaster avoidance platform today. This new platform goes past recovering data from a disaster and instead focuses on avoiding the disaster altogether. Arcserve also intends to deliver a comprehensive and affordable near-zero data loss recovery point objective (RPO) solution with near-instant recovery time objective (RTO). The solution is being built out through a combination of Arcserve’s replication and high availability engine with its new cloud-first DRaaS offerings and data center IP. The company states the new solution will be priced affordably for midsize and decentralized enterprise organizations.
Availability
Arcserve’s new direct-to-cloud solution, Arcserve UDP Cloud Direct, is expected to be available through its North American partner network this summer. Current Zetta customers will continue to be fully supported.
