CTERA announced CTERA Fusion, a new capability
built into the CTERA Enterprise
File Services Platform, providing unified file and object data access.
CTERA is the first to introduce to the marketplace a global file system with
simultaneous SMB, NFS, and S3 access to the same data set.
CTERA Fusion allows cloud applications to connect directly
with enterprise file repositories, alleviating the need for expensive and
time-consuming data copy to separate S3 buckets. Enterprises can run in-cloud
machine learning training, video footage analysis, and data classification
directly on their file shares, benefitting from CTERA's ability to store
globally in their cloud of choice, and present locally using the
high-performance CTERA Edge Filers.
"CTERA Fusion extends our vision for the enterprise
DataOps platform, enabling organizations not only to store their unstructured
data efficiently and securely, but also to unlock its greater potential,"
said Oded Nagel, CEO of CTERA. "By offering easy programmatic access to
data, CTERA Fusion allows organizations to implement their own custom data
pipelines that operate across multiple access protocols, cloud environments,
and remote locations."
The capabilities of CTERA Fusion include:
- In-Place
Read/Write - Enables reading and writing
directly to a global file system using the S3 protocol. CTERA Fusion
eliminates the expensive and time-consuming processes of copying data to
external S3 buckets.
- Single
Namespace Across File and Object - Interact with data generated at the edge using standard
object storage S3 protocols, or access cloud-generated data from the edge
using NAS protocols. Data is available where you need it, when you need
it.
- Support
for Multipart Uploads and Presigned URLs - Benefit from advanced data transfer capabilities like
multipart uploads and pre-signed URLs, making ingestion and sharing of
large files even more efficient.
- High
Availability and Scalability - Engineered
to scale throughput horizontally by supporting additional cloud instances,
CTERA Fusion ensures high availability and performance. It meets the data
access and transfer needs of enterprises managing petabytes of
mission-critical storage.
- Robust
Security - All data is secured in transit
via TLS and encrypted at rest, providing an added layer of protection.
- CTERA's
Ecosystem Integration - CTERA
Fusion is compatible with all features of the CTERA Enterprise File
Services Platform, including AI-based ransomware protection (CTERA Ransom
Protect), WORM compliance (CTERA Vault), and global file collaboration.
