It allows them to optimize the handling of massive file volumes with real-time access and seamless collaboration and co-authoring, regardless of location.

CloudFS offers immutable data resilience with near-instantaneous restoration of files in the event of deliberate or accidental data loss including malware and ransomware attacks. This provides peace of mind for IT teams and ensures interrupted business continuity in the face of mounting threats. The platform recently achieved FIPS 140-3 certification, setting it apart as the only category solution that meets this high standard for its data encryption and key management processes.
Migrating file data from multiple servers and NAS devices into a unified cloud-based storage experience, CloudFS delivers immediate, secure, flexible file data access to people, processes, and artificial intelligence (AI) workflows. It consolidates multiple Windows File Shares for effective capacity management, streamlined data portability, and efficient resource utilization from cloud to core to edge.
Its flexible deployment model supports a variety of public and private cloud storage options, including Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud Platform. Additionally, CloudFS supports on-premises object stores like NetApp and Cloudian, allowing technologists to achieve both the cost efficiency of existing infrastructure investments alongside the scalability and agility of the cloud.
Advanced network acceleration techniques like global deduplication and compression, optimized data transfer protocols, and intelligently caching frequently accessed data locally, deliver high-performance collaboration and co-authoring while streamlining bandwidth consumption and access across distributed locations and teams.
Panzura CloudFS also leverages AI to enhance its core file services capabilities. AI algorithms analyze and predict file access patterns, dynamically maximize performance, and prioritize network traffic – especially for latency-sensitive applications and workloads.
