Integrated file and object SaaS offering brings secure Cloud file services to mid-market
CTERA has announced a new partnership with Wasabi Technologies to provide integrated file and object data service for mid-sized companies. The new offering combines CTERA’s global file system technology with Wasabi’s scalable and cost-effective object storage, in simple service bundles designed for rapid delivery and support by channel partners.
The new offering packages CTERA file services with Wasabi’s cloud object service in simple consumption-based bundles that are easy to procure and expand on-demand, with no hidden costs or egress fees, and includes the following main capabilities:
- Integrated file and object cloud service – CTERA’s Global File System creates a single global namespace for all files and delivers infinite cloud storage leveraging a cost-effective object storage repository powered by Wasabi.
- Edge Filers for fast local SMB/NFS access - CTERA Edge Filers use smart caching to accelerate file access speeds for remote users, ensure availability even when disconnected from the cloud, and enable users to maintain familiar workflows.
- Ransomware protection and disaster recovery – CTERA’s Global File System helps eliminate the risk of data loss by allowing organizations to recover “locked” data within minutes, avoiding downtime, and remaining assured that sensitive information is never exposed to hackers. By combining enterprise-grade antivirus and threat protection and a zero-trust architecture, CTERA delivers the industry’s most effective ransomware mitigation and business continuity solution.
- Automated data discovery and migration from legacy NAS – CTERA Migrate is a built-in data migration engine that provides data discovery and automated import of file shares from legacy NAS systems streamlining enterprise cloud transformation initiatives that otherwise might be hindered by the complexity and cost overhead of data migration from legacy systems.
"One of the greatest challenges facing a design agency is predicting and scaling our storage infrastructure. Images and video files take up lots of space - a single project may require hundreds of them," said James Payne, Technology Director, Glenn Davis Group. "CTERA's global file system paired with Wasabi's object storage delivers on-prem performance to handle the demands of a big project while protecting historical files and stale data in a vast, encrypted cloud container. Add to that mix an elegant web interface for anywhere access to all our information, including endpoint backups, and we have the perfect solution to address the evolving needs of our organization."
"CTERA has been delivering cloud file services for large enterprises for many years," said Oded Nagel (pictured), Chief Strategy Officer of CTERA. "We are excited to partner with Wasabi to deliver our technology to the mid-market, enabling CTERA and Wasabi resellers to leverage our extensive multi-tenant portal capabilities to deliver much-needed managed data services to their customers."
