HQ-Grade Experiences Everywhere

The pandemic has forced an overnight shift to work-from-home that has raised serious data management challenges in enabling remote NAS access, scaling distributed VDI platforms, and combating a steep rise in ransomware attacks. According to Gartner, 48% of employees will work remotely after the pandemic, compared to 30% pre-pandemic.¹ As a result, IT organizations are rethinking long-term remote workforce IT strategies to ensure fast and secure access to corporate data from any location.

The CTERA Enterprise File Services Platform enables organizations to connect remote sites and users over a single namespace and and deliver HQ-grade data access experiences from any edge location or device.

The CTERA Edge H Series delivers the industry’s broadest range of edge appliances that meet any distributed enterprise requirement. The H Series supports large HQ offices, regional branches, small satellite offices, and WFH environments, providing LAN-speed access to a cloud-based global file system.
