Across industries, organizations are facing the same challenge
Their aging legacy NAS systems are becoming a liability. The costs, complexity and rigidity of traditional file storage limit agility and expose enterprises to unnecessary risk. Refresh cycles are too frequent, hardware investments too high and ransomware threats are ever-present.
For partners, this represents a massive opportunity. Enterprises are actively seeking a modern, cloud-integrated file services model. One that delivers scalability, cost savings and ironclad data protection. CTERA’s hybrid cloud architecture provides the foundation for channel partners to build profitable, long-term relationships by helping customers move beyond the limitations of legacy NAS.
Hybrid cloud architecture built for the modern enterprise
CTERA’s Global File System (GFS) is a cloud-native platform that unifies edge, cloud and on-premises environments under a single global namespace.
It empowers enterprises to centralize, protect and collaborate on unstructured data while maintaining local performance and full data control.
Built on an Intelligent Data Platform, CTera combines three key components:
- CTERA Portal: Centralized control for provisioning, monitoring and data protection.
- CTERA Edge Filers: Cloud storage gateways that bring the cloud experience to remote sites.
- CTERA Drive: A unified interface for users to access, sync and share files securely from any device.
Together, these components provide seamless global data access, military-grade encryption and zero-trust security—all while reducing total cost of ownership (TCO) by up to 80% compared to legacy infrastructure.
Driving measurable results for customers
Partners who implement CTera’s hybrid cloud model deliver tangible business outcomes for their customers:
