CTERA’s Enterprise File Services Platform, and associated gateway and file sync technology, was selected to provide branch office file services, user file and project sync across offices, helping drive employee productivity and IT support efficiency improvements. In addition, CTERA will enable software distribution for operating systems and application updates to branch office desktops and servers. CTERA was awarded the project following an extensive security audit performed by the customer, who will operate the solution entirely from within their own secure private cloud environment.
The CTERA solution was ultimately selected due to a variety of compelling factors, ranging from security to productivity benefits, including:
Greater than 50 percent cost reduction of branch office file and data protection services
Reduced IT support overhead and complexity via CTERA’s centralized management tools
Regulatory compliance and data governance enabled by central auditing of data and access
User data mobility across offices using CTERA’s file sync capabilities
Simple, instantaneous distribution of software updates to remote offices
Control over data residency and sovereignty by using CTERA’s platform in conjunction with the customer’s private software-defined object storage
