Cisco, CTERA, and Scality have joined forces to help enterprises modernize and consolidate NAS infrastructure with a hyperconverged cloud file services platform.
The solution is comprised of CTERA Edge Filers, which serve as a front-end NAS to Scality RING object storage, providing local SMB/NFS protocols for fast edge performance. CTERA filers can be deployed as a virtual instance on the HyperFlex platform or can stand as a physical appliance in a ROBO or at the data center. CTERA Portal serves as the global file system and data management middleware on which the CTERA solution is delivered, providing also secure data access for roaming users.
