Aron Brand, CTO at CTERA, says that for a productive remote or hybrid workforce, users should experience the same performance whether they are at home, in the office or in another shared workspace. “Enterprises need a way to extend corporate file systems to remote users with LAN-speed performance while respecting corporate security policies,” he says. Brand continues: “Enterprise IT strategies are focusing on leveraging the cloud to “remotify” IT operations. Files should be stored in the cloud and made available to remote locations using caching and other tools that connect the edge (for example, remote offices and home users) to the private or public cloud. This type of architecture will enable users to work from any location with an “office-like” experience.”
