Enterprise storage service provider Zetta
today announced the appointment of Dave Ferretti as vice president of
worldwide sales. Ferretti joins Zetta from StoredIQ, where, as vice
president of sales, he signed up the company’s foundation enterprise
customers for eDiscovery and Governance Risk Compliance. Previously, he
was vice president of channel sales for Evault, one of the first SaaS
backup/recovery solution providers - acquired by Seagate Technology -
where he developed more than 50 revenue-producing channel partners.
Earlier in his career, Ferretti also ran worldwide sales for Xerox
Corporation’s enterprise software division, delivering the first
web-based content management system, where he grew revenues on average
36 percent annually while increasing the customer base to more than
6,000 mid-market and enterprise accounts. Ferretti has also held senior
sales positions with Netegrity, and Array Technology.
“Zetta continues to see very strong demand for enterprise-class,
on-demand storage solutions,” said Jeff Treuhaft, CEO of Zetta. “Dave
has a proven track record of building and operating scalable sales
organizations that aggressively develop customer traction. His
experience with archive, data backup, compliance, and disaster recovery
services is a great foundation for building out the Zetta sales team to
rapidly scale out valuable customer relationships.”
“The time is right for enterprise customers to capitalize on the
benefits of Storage-as-a-Service,” commented Dave Ferretti. “Along with
growing costs and complexity, corporations are facing increasing
disaster recovery, compliance and eDiscovery challenges in managing and
protecting their growing unstructured data, and Zetta uniquely addresses
these challenges with a cost-effective, on-demand service model, with
the same features as on-premise, enterprise-class NAS.”
