It can host large datasets as well, yes. It is hosted by CERN, so it is not specifically IT in any way. It also allows you to restrict access to the files of your submission. It has no requirements to submit your LaTeX sources, any PDF will be fine. There are also no restrictions on who can publish. You'll get a DOI, of course.
Everything published on arXiv could also be published on Zenodo, but not the other way around.
Zenodo is more for IT Papers and also datasets isn't it?

Zenodo is great too, yes, but their meta-data management is somewhat problematic; i.e., it can be changed at whim, which makes indexing difficult.
oh interesting I didnt know this
I like it as well, it works great. But I wonder if it would scale if at some point there were a massive exodus from arXiv.
I think it already hosts much more data than arXiv, given that they also host large datasets.
