Burst to the cloud when the compute is there, pull results home when the job is done — file or object, any provider. zx saturates the link both ways and skips the 30–50% penalty that drags down standard cloud paths. It's a fast, network-based AWS Snowball alternative — move data over the wire instead of shipping disks.
Move file↔object natively. On-prem filesystems and cloud object stores talk directly — no custom translation layer, no staging detour.
Stage data to the cloud the moment the GPUs are there. Pull results back the instant the job finishes. Stop paying for idle clusters.
One mover spans on-prem, private cloud, and every public cloud — so cross-provider moves stop being slow, costly, and one-way.
Drive line rate, scaling out with no software ceiling. A co-designed, DPU-embeddable data path bypasses the 30–50% cloud-stack penalty — ingest and egress alike.
"Zettar moved an actual petabyte over a 5,000-mile network loop in 29 hours — with encryption and checksumming — at 96% bandwidth utilization."
Moving data between on-premises, hybrid, and multiple clouds so compute can run wherever it is cheapest or fastest.
Standard cloud transfer paths lose 30-50% to stack overhead. zx is engineered to bypass that and run at wire speed.
Yes — zx is symmetric and scale-out: add servers and aggregate throughput grows, with no software ceiling, across as many sites and clouds as you run. Your environment sets the limit, not the data mover.
In a real KEK to AWS transfer (1.2 TiB over 10,851 km), zx was 5.9× faster than aws-cli — about 40 minutes versus 235.
No — zx is latency-insensitive, validated over 5,000- and 12,375-mile paths.
Major public clouds and S3-compatible object storage, plus on-premises — file and object, in both directions.
No. zx moves data in native file and object formats across major clouds and S3-compatible storage — no proprietary wrappers — and the appliance is platform-neutral: HPE flagship today, AIC and MiTAC engineered, extensible to Supermicro, Dell, or the platform you standardize on.
Burst to the cloud, pull results home, move across providers — at line rate, file or object, with the cloud penalty engineered out. See it move your data.
