Move imagery and sensor data from collection to analyst.

Defense, intelligence, and geospatial (GEOINT) programs collect petabytes of ISR — satellite imagery, full-motion video, and sensor feeds — that must move from collection to ground stations to exploitation, fast, secured, and on hardware you are accredited to run. Zettar fills the link you have, holds line rate over any distance, and keeps every byte encrypted and provably intact.

Who we serveDefenseIntelligenceISRGeospatial / GEOINT
The problem

The data outpaces the links moving it.

  • ISR imagery and full-motion video outpace the links moving them.
  • Data crawls from collection to ground station to exploitation.
  • Constrained tactical and edge links waste most of their capacity.
  • Security, provenance, and accredited hardware are non-negotiable.
How Zettar helps

Line rate from the tactical edge to the analyst's desk.

Fills any link

Line rate

Realizing ~90%+ of whatever bandwidth is available, from a constrained tactical edge to a big ground-station pipe. Zettar is never the bottleneck — your infrastructure is the limit, and we reach it.

Distance-insensitive

Collection to processing

From collection site to processing at full speed, validated over real 5,000- and 12,375-mile transfers. Linear scale-out, no software ceiling.

Secure & accountable

Encrypted & checksummed

Encrypted with TLS and unconditional end-to-end checksums on every transfer — so every byte arrives provably intact, with provenance you can stand behind.

Your accredited hardware

Platform-neutral

Platform-neutral and on-premises, so it runs on the platform you are cleared to use. Pretuned and turnkey, with roots in U.S. DOE Exascale science.

Proof, not promises
"Zettar moved an actual petabyte over a 5,000-mile network loop in 29 hours — encrypted and checksummed — at 96% bandwidth utilization."

That run was capped at 80 Gbps to spare the shared network — on a full 100 Gbps link, it's a petabyte a day.

FAQ

Common questions

FAQ

How fast can Zettar move ISR imagery and full-motion video?

At line rate — it fills whatever bandwidth the path provides, from a constrained tactical link to a large ground-station pipe, and scales out with no software ceiling.

FAQ

Does it work over constrained tactical and edge links?

Yes — zx realizes ~90%+ of whatever bandwidth is available, even a shared or constrained link, so forward and edge sites stop wasting capacity.

FAQ

Can it move data from collection to processing?

Yes — zx is distance-insensitive, validated over real 5,000- and 12,375-mile transfers, so data holds full throughput from the collection site to exploitation.

FAQ

Is the data encrypted and accountable?

Every transfer is encrypted with TLS and protected by unconditional end-to-end checksums — secure in transit and provably intact.

FAQ

Can it run on our accredited hardware?

Yes — the appliance is platform-neutral and runs on-premises on the enterprise platform you are cleared to use; hardware choice stays yours.

FAQ

Does it run air-gapped or in disconnected enclaves?

Yes — it is an on-premises appliance with no call-home dependency, so it runs in disconnected and accredited enclaves on hardware you control. Every transfer carries unconditional end-to-end checksums for chain-of-custody you can stand behind.
