Zetta.net, a provider of 3-in-1 online server backup solutions, has announced that storage analyst firm Storage Strategies NOW reports that the company’s use of the WebDAV (Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning) protocol is a distinct advantage for its Zetta.net DataProtect cloud infrastructure. The recent Delta Report authored by Storage Strategies NOW outlines how WebDAV delivers both the security and speed required by today’s customers of cloud-based data protection, making Zetta.net unique in terms of throughput and recovery availability.
“WebDAV is latency independent and efficient over wide area networks, particularly when compared to file protocols like CIFS and NFS,” said James E. Bagley, senior analyst, and Deni Connor, founding analyst of Storage Strategies NOW in the report. “By using WebDAV, the data is encrypted during transmission and stored quickly and efficiently. Connections are kept open continuously which reduces the amount of stress on the customer network and the internet in general. This is coupled with the speed and efficiency of Zetta.net’s compression and incremental-forever update technology, making it unique in terms of throughput and recovery availability.”
