NEW YORK, Feb. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- CTERA, the distributed cloud file storage leader, today announced record results for 2021, led by increasing demand for its multi-cloud global file system. CTERA grew the annual recurring revenue for its edge-to-cloud solutions by 43% in 2021 as new and existing customers learned to deal with post-pandemic work environments. For data-driven enterprises, managing the continued growth of unstructured data has led to transitions from legacy data center-focused storage environments to providing fast data access closer to where the users are – at the edge.

New customer acquisition occurred in several key markets, including the U.S. Federal Government, which grew over 300%, with significant wins with organizations such as the Veterans Affairs and the U.S. Air Force.

"CTERA has created a compelling solution that enables organizations of all sizes to build next-generation file-service infrastructures that can replace traditional network attached storage environments," said Enrico Signoretti, Research Product Manager, GigaOm. "CTERA's attention to multi-tenancy and security issues drove its success in large enterprises, regulated industries, and public administrations. At the same time, CTERA's platform can start with a minimal configuration that is appealing to medium-sized organizations, and smaller ones can take advantage of the product in a SaaS fashion through many service providers across the globe that adopted the solution for their customers."
