When distributed teams collaborate on shared files, the risk of version conflicts and overwritten work can disrupt productivity and compromise data integrity. CTERA Global File Locking eliminates this risk by providing an authoritative, high-performance file locking service that functions as a single source of truth, deployed entirely within your private infrastructure to ensure data integrity and accelerate project delivery.
In high-stakes environments such as Architecture, Engineering & Construction (AEC) and Media & Entertainment (M&E), simultaneous edits across locations can result in overwritten work, file corruption, and rework that impacts project timelines.
Without an automated mechanism for managing file access, teams rely on manual coordination or informal processes, slowing collaboration and creating uncertainty around file ownership and edit status.
Public cloud-based locking services may transmit or store file metadata outside the organization’s controlled environment, introducing data residency, compliance, and governance concerns.
Our solution features a central lock broker that makes simultaneous edits impossible. This is the foundation of version integrity, ensuring that when a user anywhere in the world edits a file from an application like AutoCAD, Revit, or Adobe Creative Cloud, they are always working on the one and only master copy.
The entire locking mechanism is deployed within your security perimeter, on-premises or in your Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). This private architecture delivers minimal latency for an instant user experience and guarantees that no file metadata ever leaves your control, satisfying the strictest data sovereignty requirements.
Let’s discuss how to modernize the way your organization manages, protects, and activates data.
