Tier cold data to low-cost object storage and keep hot data on fast file storage — in native formats your apps already read. One namespace. No proprietary tiering layer. No exit toll. One real deployment cut upfront storage spend 70% versus competing solutions.
Data lands in its native format on standard object and file storage. No opaque container, no vendor-only reader, no proprietary tiering format. Your data stays readable without Zettar in the path.
Park cold data on economical object storage; keep hot data on fast file storage moving at line rate. You stop choosing between cost and speed.
Applications see a single namespace and keep running unchanged — no rewrites, no agents, no special clients. Tiering happens underneath, transparent to every workload.
Because nothing is ever trapped in a proprietary layer, you can move data off any tier whenever you want. No exit toll, no migration project — your storage strategy stays yours.
"Zettar moved an actual petabyte over a 5,000-mile network loop in 29 hours — with encryption and checksumming — at 96% bandwidth utilization."
zx moves cold data from fast file storage to cost-efficient object storage in native formats — transparently, with no proprietary wrappers, so it stays readable and accessible.
No — data is tiered in native file and object formats with no wrappers, on open standard hardware, so it is never trapped.
At line rate, scaling out with no software ceiling — so even petascale tiering finishes fast.
Yes — unconditional end-to-end checksums on every move, so tiered copies are provably intact.
In one deployment, customers cut storage cost substantially by tiering cold data to object; the exact figure depends on your data temperature and storage mix.
See how Zettar tiers data across object and file storage in native formats — one namespace, no proprietary layer, no lock-in. Bring your numbers; we'll show you the savings.
