Real-Time Replication

Replicate file changes in real-time to enable Active-Active global file sharing.

Global File Locking

Enable fast, local access to shared file data without the risk of version conflicts.

Cross-Platform Integration

Replicate, synchronize, share, and back up files across major storage and cloud providers.

No Vendor Lock-In

Eliminate vendor lock-in with a software solution that supports native file and object formats.

One Solution

to Simplify File Management and Orchestration Across Edge, Data Center, and Cloud Storage PeerGFS is a software-only solution developed to solve file management/file replication challenges in multi-site, multi-platform, and hybrid multi-cloud environments. With over 25 years of experience in geographically dispersed file replication, we help organizations: Today’s always-on world requires real-time data infrastructure with 24x7x365 availability. PeerGFS works with the storage systems you already have deployed and support:

• Improve availability through Active-Active data centers (on-premises and/or in the cloud)
• Protect data at the Edge with Continuous Data Protection to the data center
• Increase productivity for distributed project teams with fast, local access to file data
• High volume data replication between well-connected data centers
• Wide area networks with limited bandwidth and higher latency PeerGFS is easy to install and manage. Different job types can be configured, at a granular level, to support specific application requirements.

Main Features of PeerGFS

Active-Active Synchronization

Replicate data in real-time across locations, data centers and cloud availability zones

Distributed File Locking

Prevent version conflicts across distributed mirrored storage systems

Delta-Level Replication

Replicate file changes vs. entire files for faster performance

Multiprotocol Support

Supports both SMB and NFS workloads.

Cross-Platform Integration

Real-time replication engine supports leading storage vendor platforms

DFS Namespace Management

Deploy and manage a Global Namespace to unify enterprise storage using Microsoft DFSN

Object Connector

Supports leading on-premises and cloud object storage systems including S3 and Azure Blob

Edge Caching

Control cost of unstructured data growth by optimizing the storage footprint of edge systems with a local file cache. This feature is currently only supported for Windows file servers

Malicious Event Detection (MED)

Monitor file activity for suspicious behaviors and patterns for an additional layer of security

PeerGFS Job Types

PeerGFS includes numerous job types to increase flexibility and efficiency in meeting specific application requirements. Create jobs at a global or granular level, to empower your storage infrastructure with global file collaboration, Active-Active data center synchronization, or backup consolidation for Edge locations. See what PeerGFS can do for you in the examples below.

Enterprise File Collaboration

for Multi-Site and Multi-Vendor Environments Provide fast, local access to shared company files for distributed teams without the risk of version conflicts. PeerGFS works across all major storage vendors, protecting prior investments. Delta-level synchronization improves efficiency over wide area networks to enable collaboration regardless of distance.

Data Center Synchronization

Active-Active Highly Available File Services for VDI and Application Data Real-time replication synchronizes file data across multiple data centers, edge locations, and cloud instances for near-zero RPO. Support automatic end-user failover and failback without disruption. In VDI deployments, end-user data can be made available in locations throughout the enterprise.

Continuous Data Protection

for Data Center and Edge Locations Provide continuous data protection and backup consolidation by replicating file changes, as they occur, to centralized storage in the data center or cloud. Minimize RPO/RTO with automatic failover when configured with DFS Namespace.

Cloud Backup/Replication

For Azure Blob, Amazon S3, NetApp StorageGrid, and Nutanix Objects Back up file data to object storage on-premises or in the cloud without expensive hardware or the need to implement a proprietary file system. Data in the cloud is stored in an open format that is immediate accessible for value-added cloud analytics services. Easily recover individual files or entire data sets to any point in time.

Key Benefits of PeerGFS

Maximize Productivity and Efficiency

Real-time replication provides fast, local access to hot data at the edge—close to users, applications, and computing resources.

Increase Flexibility

Implement a software-based solution that utilizes industry standard file and object storage formats. You’re free to select technologies that best fit your application requirements and business needs without the risk of vendor lock-in.

Protect Investments

Integration across different platforms/vendors means PeerGFS works with the storage infrastructure you already have.
