Zmanda Cloud Storage for 50% Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and Reduced Administrative Overhead

AWS Glacier Enhancements for Enhanced Archival and Retrieval Capabilities

Enterprises must comply with regulatory requirements for data preservation, which can be costly if data is stored in Instant Retrieval storage classes for an extended period. To address this challenge, Zmanda 5.0 offers AWS Glacier integration enhancement.

By using this feature, data can be transited across Glacier Instant Retrieval, Flexible Retrieval, and Deep Archive based on the lifecycle rules defined in Zmanda. This will help in more efficient cost management based on your storage requirement.

SSO Integration for Enhanced Security and Simplified Authentication

Approximately 50% of data breaches are due to poor password security. Therefore, enterprises need authentication that is both secure and convenient. With Zmanda 5.0, you get the best of both worlds. Single Sign-On (SSO) integration allows you to configure your preferred identity provider, such as AzureAD, Okta, or Auth0, and leverage their capabilities, such as multi-factor authentication (MFA). SSO makes it easy to access the Zmanda Management Console securely using your existing corporate credentials.

But the benefits of SSO integration go beyond convenience. By leveraging MFA, SSO integration significantly improves security for your organization, reducing the risk of unauthorized access. Plus, all your employees can avoid the hassle of remembering multiple usernames and passwords, increasing productivity across your organization.

Global Exclusion Policy for Optimized Backups Now Available for Windows Systems

While Zmanda 4.2 offered a global exclusion policy feature for Linux, the newly released Zmanda 5.0 now extends this feature to Windows systems as well, making it a versatile solution for enterprises using the either operating system. This feature enables enterprises to exclude certain files and folders, such as system files, cache files, or temporary files, from backup and restore processes.

With this feature, you can establish a global policy that excludes specific files or folders using complete paths and file extensions through regular expressions to achieve faster backups, reduce storage requirements, and lower costs.
