Why choose Zmanda Pro over
Google Cloud’s native backup
Storing backups on Google Cloud Storage gives you durability and global availability. Zmanda Pro makes backup to Google Cloud storage practical by optimizing how your data gets there and how much you pay. Here's what sets it apart:
Unified cross-platform management Back up your entire hybrid infrastructure—on-premises servers, VMware, Hyper-V, databases, and cloud workloads to Google Cloud Storage from a single console.
Zmanda Pro centralizes policy management, scheduling, and reporting across all protected systems, with GCS as your unified storage destination.
Optimized for cloud storage efficiency - Zmanda Pro reduces data before it reaches Google Cloud Storage. Client-side deduplication and compression cut storage consumption by up to 90%.
Forever-incremental backups minimize daily upload volumes, and bandwidth throttling prevents backup jobs from saturating your network which results in lower GCS storage bills and faster backup windows.
Predictable pricing - Google Cloud Storage charges per-GB-month, so costs rise as your data grows. Zmanda Pro flips this model with per-endpoint licensing.
Software costs stay flat whether you're backing up 1TB or 100TB per server. Since Zmanda Pro reduces data before it reaches GCS, your storage bills stay controlled even as your environment scales.

Features & capabilities
Unified hybrid and multi-cloud management
Unlike Google's Backup and DR Service which only covers Google Cloud resources, Zmanda Pro manages backups across your entire IT estate from one console. Back up Google Cloud VMs, on-premises servers, VMware, Hyper-V, databases, and Microsoft 365 to Google Cloud Storage—eliminating the need for multiple backup tools.
Bandwidth-efficient cloud transfers
Forever-incremental backups mean only changed data blocks are sent to Google Cloud Storage after the initial backup. Combined with bandwidth throttling, backup jobs run without saturating your network or dragging on for hours.
Massive storage cost savings through deduplication
Google Backup and DR lacks client-side deduplication. Zmanda Pro reduces storage by up to 90% through intelligent deduplication and compression before data reaches Google Cloud Storage, dramatically lowering your monthly storage bills as data grows.
Predictable per-endpoint pricing model
Avoid per-GB pricing surprises. Zmanda Pro's per-endpoint licensing means the same flat cost whether you're backing up 1TB or 100TB per server. This delivers up to 50% lower TCO than competitors and predictable budgets as your data scales.
