Benefits include:
Zero office downtime:
Immediately and securely redirects users to the cloud in the event of a filer outage, a superior alternative to legacy approaches that can take hours, days, or even weeks to remediate an outage.
Persistent availability:
Caching technology ensures that files are available locally, ensuring that users can remain productive in the event of a WAN or cloud outage.
Fast local recoverability:
Caching technology also offers inherent disaster recovery between edge filers. A newly deployed filer is populated nearly immediately with stubs that enable users to immediately regain access to files on mapped network drives.
Significant cost savings:
CTERA Edge Filers eliminate the need for expensive redundant or replacement failover hardware options, saving $1,000s per office.
Seamless failover to the cloud:
Enforces user permissions (NT-ACLs) on both the local filer and the cloud to ensure users experience the same file access in cloud failover scenarios.
Business continuity during internet outages:
Provides complete file availability and uptime during internet connection outages with a file system copy stored at the edge of the network.
Fewer IT headaches:
Modernize branch infrastructure and replace file servers, tape backup and other proprietary systems with a cost-effective, easily-managed solution optimized for enterprise environments.
