LOS ANGELES, July 11, 2017 – Marlin Equity Partners (“Marlin”) is pleased to announce that it has acquired Zetta, Inc. (“Zetta”), a leading provider of cloud-based backup and disaster recovery solutions. Zetta’s backup as a service offering allows organizations to quickly and reliably protect, access and recover physical and virtual data in the cloud while the company’s disaster recovery as a service product enables organizations to protect critical applications, data and servers in the event of a disaster. Zetta has been merged with Arcserve, a Marlin portfolio company, adding new multi-tenant, cloud-based functionality to Arcserve’s existing product offering and creating one of the largest and most comprehensive global providers of data protection and recovery solutions.
“The acquisition of Zetta represents a significant next step in realizing our vision to advance the data protection industry towards disaster avoidance and prevention,” said Mike Crest, CEO of Arcserve. “With Zetta, we now have the ability to offer a complete end-to-end product suite with near real-time cloud recovery and help our customers avoid the financial consequences of downtime and the loss of critical data across all platforms and delivery methods.”
“The combination of Zetta’s direct-to-cloud backup and disaster recovery capabilities with Arcserve’s high availability and replication technology significantly enhances the value proposition each company provides its respective customers,” said Michael Anderson, a principal at Marlin. “We look forward to further investing in the combined company’s next-generation cloud solutions and extending these new technologies across Arcserve’s global footprint.”
