Read the IDC Vendor Spotlight on Zmanda. Learn the latest user requirements, market trends and the unique role of Zmanda in bringing enterprise-scale open source backup & recovery solution to the market. Open source storage solutions have been gaining momentum over the past five years. The trend is away from tape backup and toward fixed disks for backup and archiving, in part because fixed disks provide better support for RTOs and RPOs. These trends accentuate the need for a thoughtful backup and recovery software solution. Zmanda can expect its two complementary backup and recovery solutions to grow in concert with the need for more storage, regardless of the media, as long as it maintains a competitive edge by continuously innovating and refining its offerings.
