Reexamining Paradigms of End-to-End Data Movement

Zettar founder Chin Fang's in-depth paper on holistic hardware–software co-design for petascale movement — burst buffers and the architecture behind the zx Appliance.

Product brief

Zettar zx at a glance

A concise overview of zx — capabilities, performance, and how it fits into your data-movement architecture.

FAQ

Common questions.

FAQ

What does Zettar make?

Zettar delivers zx, a unified, at-scale data-movement manager built for top performance, simplicity, manageability, scalability, and breakthrough economics.

FAQ

How does zx compare to rsync, scp, FTP, robocopy?

Typically 10× or faster per instance, plus scale-out, file and S3 support, a Web UI, and API automation those tools can't match.

FAQ

How is data integrity ensured?

zx uses unconditional end-to-end checksums.

FAQ

How much bandwidth can zx use?

From megabits to terabits per second. zx runs at line rate — it fills whatever bandwidth your end-to-end path can sustain — and scales out with no software ceiling.

FAQ

How does network latency affect zx?

zx is insensitive to latency — proven over 5,000-mile trials and a 12,375-mile Poland–Singapore transfer.

FAQ

What is append streaming?

Unlike bulk transfer, append streaming moves live, fast-growing data as it is produced (e.g. from high-speed instruments).

FAQ

What hardware and OS does zx run on?

Standard x86_64/amd64/aarch64 servers on RHEL 7–9, Rocky, Alma, Oracle Linux, and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS+; it can also be embedded in DPUs/IPUs.

FAQ

How is zx licensed?

Annual subscription or perpetual license, both with support, on a per-node basis.
