Enabling AI Success Without Compromising Security
Frost & Sullivan has highlighted our AI-driven innovations, praising our ability to provide real-time data intelligence and AI-based cyber resilience features. These are vital tools for safeguarding sensitive data while enabling generative AI that’s rich in context and privacy-conscious.
CTERA meets the stringent security requirements of customers in sectors such as the military, healthcare, banking, and government. Our platform’s security-first design and 100% private operating capability put us in a prime position to serve highly regulated industries that handle highly sensitive data.
Recognition That Reflects Customer Impact
Frost & Sullivan didn’t just look at our technology; they saw the invaluable impact we have on our customers. Here’s what they had to say:
“CTERA’s platform optimizes file storage and transfer in complex, multi-cloud environments. CTERA Direct, a service within the platform, enhances file transfer speeds via its ultra-fast, edge-to-cloud file transfer protocol, which provides fast movement of data for data-heavy workloads,” said Karyn Price, Industry Principal, ICT, Frost & Sullivan. “Perhaps most compelling is the military-grade security capabilities that CTERA offers to its customers. The CTERA platform provides native data protection and restoration capabilities, enabling customers to eliminate separate data protection services if they choose.”
Looking Ahead
This recognition from Frost & Sullivan is an incredible milestone, and it propels us to continue our journey of performance excellence in 2025. We remain deeply committed to advancing our technology to help our customers leverage their data like never before.
