Features

Experience Unlimited Scalability

Seamlessly add storage capacity using private or public cloud storage resources without impacting file access at the edge. No need for additional hardware, truck rolls, or new appliances to increase capacity.

Enjoy Fast and Easy File Access

All users at all sites always have secure access (at the office and on the go) to the latest file version and see file changes in real-time. CTERA syncs files from any device and accelerates file access speeds using predictive fetching, smart caching, and a variety of WAN optimization techniques. Our unified approach enables easy access to the Global File System from your cloud gateway, desktop or mobile device.

Access Files from the Global Namespace

Users can access any file from any location subject to their access rights. Administrators define “zones” which set the unique privileges of each site. These zones can range from a specific folder to the entire corporate file system. No need to define individual file systems and manage data migration and separate copies. CTERA Fusion, our unified file and object interface, provides a single namespace for file and object access via SMB, NFS, and S3 across the global file system ideal for data pipeline automation, data science and analytics.

Discover Powerful Cloud Data Migration Tools

Easy-to-use data migration tools enable enterprises to scope data assets and move data seamlessly across cloud and NAS storage systems without system downtime or end-user interruption. Preservation of Windows NT ACL permissions enables IT admins to replicate file structure from legacy file system to CTERA quickly and efficiently.

Manage Everything from One Place

It doesn’t matter if you have 1 or 1,000 sites—CTERA Portal gives you complete visibility and control over your organizational data from a single console, centralizing and auditing every aspect of file storage, sharing, and access to eliminate Shadow IT and strengthen data governance.

Automate Provisioning New User and Data Protection

CTERA’s service orchestration features allow you to create, manage, and monitor diverse enterprise file services through an intuitive, zero-development, wizard-driven process. Ready-to-use connectors make it easy to integrate with your existing cloud automation systems, enabling you to manage CTERA-based services just like any other cloud or “as-a-service” deployment in your organization—seamless, efficient, and fully under your control. 

Manage Your Compliance

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) from CTERA ensures you can define access levels across various roles, including the “Compliance Officer” role. That way, you streamline the management of users, ensuring that only authorized personnel have access to sensitive data and compliance-critical functions.

Get Flexible Deployment Options

CTERA Portal software can be deployed on-premises (private cloud) or as a virtual private cloud (VPC) in an IaaS environment. CTERA works with all major cloud infrastructure providers, including AWS, Microsoft Azure, IBM Cloud, Dell-EMC, HPE, and others. Simple API-based integration with your identity management, anti-virus, data governance, automation and mobility tools ensure zero disruption to your existing ecosystem.
