About Zettar
COMPANY
company overview
Zettar Inc. (Zettar) builds and delivers scalable, robust, and high-performance data mover software for distributed data intensive engineering and science workloads such as for genomics, life sciences, Oil & Gas, AI, machine learning, transporting data for large scale IoT deployments, autonomous vehicle fleets, smart cities, EDA, Media & Entertainment Studio post-production, light sources (large lasers), accelerators, large telescopes.
The Zettar team has rich first hand experience in helping tier-1 customers in the biopharmaceutical, Oil & Gas, Media & Entertainment Studios, and supercomputing centers in different countries. As a result, even as a software company, the Zettar engineering team has deep and comprehensive understanding the entire infrastructure stack, storage, computing, networking (including network security).
Furthermore, from the engagement supporting the highly ambitious data transfer requirements (>= 1Tbps point-to-point by 2024) of Linac Coherent Light Source II (LCLS-II), a premier U.S. DOE Exascale Initiative (EI) preparation project hosted at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in Menlo Park, California, all members have gained extensive experience applying the U.S. DOE Exascale Initiative’s “co-design” principle – integrated consideration of storage, computing, networking, and concurrent software for optimal performance. Thus, working with Zettar will help your business to gain such valuable experience as well.

Data Movement Types Impact Storage Requirements
The explosion of machine generated data will require advanced automated and controlled data movement to make optimal use of that data. Data movement tools and digital storage required for making use of this data depends upon the size and type of data and the means and uses for that data. This Forbes article, written by the respected Silicon Valley based storage analyst, Dr. Thomas Coughlin, is based on the SLAC Technical Note, SLAC-TN-20-004 that Dr. Les Cottrell and Dr. Chin Fang co-authored and published on December 30, 2020 on the SLAC SciDoc Website https://stanford.io/3oveo3d.

Zettar zx Evaluation for ESnet DTNs
ESnet is prototyping a Data Transfer Node as-a-Service (DTNaaS) capability that aims to provide optimized, on-demand data movement tools and endpoints to users of the network. Zettar offers a high-performance data movement solution, zx, that integrates with a number of storage technologies and provides mechanisms for API automation. An evaluation of the solution within the ESnet testbed environment was performed over the duration of approximately 2 months. The performance of disk I/O and network interactions were explored in a containerized software environment.
