Move the dailies before the deadline.

VFX houses, post, studios, broadcasters, and streaming/OTT platforms move petabytes of 8K/RAW footage and renders between set, studio, render farm, and cloud. Zettar fills the pipe at line rate, moves it across continents without slowing down, and bursts to cloud render without the cloud tax — roughly 10× the transfer tools the industry grew up on.

The problem

The footage moves slower than the production.

  • 8K/RAW dailies and renders pile up faster than your transfer tool can drain them.
  • Legacy accelerated-transfer tools are costly, proprietary, and still stall at petascale.
  • Globally distributed VFX teams wait on the same footage crossing oceans.
  • Cloud render bursts lose 30–50% to cloud-stack overhead.
How Zettar helps

Petabytes of footage, at the speed of the edit.

Throughput

Never the bottleneck

Zettar moves at line rate — about 10× typical movers — and fills the pipe you already pay for. Your infrastructure is the limit, and we reach it. Linear scale-out, no software ceiling.

Collaboration

Global collaboration

Distance-insensitive, validated over real 5,000- and 12,375-mile transfers — so LA ↔ London ↔ Mumbai run at full speed, not at the mercy of the ocean between them.

Cloud

Burst to cloud render

Hybrid file and object movement that bypasses the 30–50% cloud penalty. In a real KEK→AWS transfer, zx ran 5.9× faster than aws-cli — render in the cloud without the cloud tax.

Trust

Content-safe & turnkey

Encrypted with TLS and unconditional end-to-end checksums on every frame — nothing arrives corrupted or unverified. A turnkey appliance, platform-neutral, pretuned out of the box.

Proof, not promises
"Zettar moved an actual petabyte over a 5,000-mile network loop in 29 hours — encrypted and checksummed — at 96% bandwidth utilization."
— SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory & ESnet, U.S. DOE Read the record → See the paper →

That run was capped at 80 Gbps to spare the shared network — on a full 100 Gbps link, it's a petabyte a day.

FAQ

Common questions

FAQ

How fast can Zettar move 8K and RAW footage?

At line rate — it fills the bandwidth between your storage, render farm, and the cloud, and scales out with no software ceiling. Roughly 10x the throughput of the transfer tools the industry grew up on.

FAQ

How is it different from Aspera or Signiant?

It is petascale-proven, turnkey, and runs on open enterprise hardware — line rate at roughly 10x typical movers, without a closed, proprietary stack. One validated appliance instead of a per-stream toll.

FAQ

Does it work for globally distributed VFX teams?

Yes — zx is distance-insensitive, validated over real 5,000- and 12,375-mile transfers, so teams on different continents work on the same footage at full speed.

FAQ

Can it burst to cloud render without the cloud tax?

Yes. Hybrid file and object movement bypasses the 30-50% cloud-stack penalty — in a real KEK-to-AWS transfer, zx ran 5.9x faster than aws-cli.

FAQ

Is the content secure and verified?

Every transfer is encrypted with TLS and protected by unconditional end-to-end checksums, so no frame is silently corrupted or exposed.
