Our solution offers an 80% TCO reduction compared to other managed storage, with the added benefit of eliminating the need for additional hardware and administrative costs.
  • AWS Glacier enhancements for enhanced archival and retrieval capabilities: This feature can help you transit data across Glacier Instant Retrieval, Flexible Retrieval, and Deep Archive based on the lifecycle rules defined in Zmanda for a more efficient cost management based on your storage requirements.
  • SSO (Single Sign-on) integration for enhanced security and simplified authentication: This feature allows your employees to use their existing login credentials to access the Zmanda Management Console, providing both convenience and improved security.
  • Global exclusion policies for optimized backups now available for Windows systems: 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.

We are excited to share that Zmanda 5.0 is now available. The latest version offers managed Zmanda Cloud Storage (ZCS), a highly scalable, reliable, and cost-effective way to store and manage backups with an 80% TCO reduction. We also extended the data archival capabilities to Amazon AWS Glacier Deep Archive and Instant Retrieval storage tiers.
