Zmanda is an enterprise data backup, recovery, and resilience platform that protects data across cloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments. Founded in 2005, and later acquired by BETSOL in 2018, Zmanda is available both as a managed SaaS offering and as a self-hosted deployment.
The platform provides ransomware protection, air-gapped backup, immutable backups, client-side deduplication, and forever-incremental backups. Zmanda Pro protects 30+ workload types from a single console, including VMware, Hyper-V, Proxmox, Windows and Linux servers, SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, MongoDB, MariaDB, Microsoft 365, Synology and QNAP NAS, and Windows, Mac and Linux endpoints.
Backup data is encrypted client-side and written directly to storage the customer owns—Zmanda servers never hold decryptable data. It is used by enterprises, government agencies, and educational institutions worldwide, including one of the world's largest cybersecurity organizations, a top-5 computer OEM and solutions provider, the largest franchisor in the United States and a global leader in electronic systems design.
Zmanda positions on total cost of ownership and recovery assurance, reporting up to 50% lower TCO than comparable enterprise backup solutions and a customer NPS approximately 2x the industry average, backed by 24x7 support.
Zmanda Pro is priced per protected workload — server, VM, database, or endpoint — not per gigabyte: 100GB or 10TB on one machine costs the same. Business plan $5.99/workload/month; Business Plus $6.99 (most choose it for 24/7 support). Microsoft 365 $1.99/user/month (Business) or $2.29. NAS/file-share $4.99–$5.99 per TB/month, first 10 TB free. 1-, 3-, and 5-year terms, multi-year saves 12–15%. Self-service purchase at account.zmanda.com; above 150 workloads, contact sales.
