CTERA Recognized for Data Storage Innovation with 2021 Data Breakthrough Award

  Prestigious Awards Program Recognizes Outstanding Data Technology Products and Companies

  NEW YORK, NY , March 24, 2021 – CTERA , the edge-to-cloud file services leader, today announced that its CTERA 7.0 multi-cloud global file system has been selected as the winner of the “Storage Innovation of the Year” award in the 2021 Data Breakthrough Awards program conducted by Data Breakthrough , an independent market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies and products in the global data technology market today.

CTERA 7.0 allows enterprises to dramatically simplify the cost, capacity, and scale problems that have plagued traditional Network Attached Storage (NAS) and file storage solutions for decades. By providing multi-cloud file services with edge caching and multi-site synchronization, CTERA 7.0 empowers enterprises to modernize every aspect of their distributed file services delivery – including remote offices, VDI, and mobile – without compromising performance or security. The company’s patent-pending CTERA Direct protocol delivers a throughput of over 30TB/day per remote site, three to ten times faster than competing edge-to-cloud file services solutions.

“In the past year, the pandemic created new IT challenges for companies, including extending fast and secure access to corporate data from any location over a single namespace with consistent access control,” said Liran Eshel, Founder & CEO of CTERA. “This is the purpose of the global file system and it’s why CTERA 7.0 represents a breakthrough in enterprise data storage. This 2021 Data Breakthrough Award serves as a strong validation of our innovative approach and momentum in the space.”

The Data Breakthrough Awards is the premier awards program founded to recognize the data technology innovators, leaders and visionaries from around the world in a range of categories, including Data Analytics, Big Data, Business Intelligence, Data Storage and many more. The second annual Data Breakthrough Award program attracted more than 1,450 nominations from across the globe this year.

“We are seeing strong demand and increased interest in cloud-based file services as distributed organizations and teams grow exponentially,” said James Johnson, Managing Director, Data Breakthrough. “CTERA has trailblazed innovation in this space and the Company is well-positioned to serve as a leading force here, empowering companies to keep data close to users wherever they are and deliver a truly user-friendly experience. We are proud to award CTERA with our Storage Innovation of the Year designation and we congratulate the entire CTERA team on their well-deserved industry recognition with this 2021 Data Breakthrough Award.”

CTERA 7.0 also adds new data security features in the form of ‘geo-segmentation,’ an intuitive file tagging system that allows IT to restrict internal access to sensitive data while meeting data sovereignty and compliance mandates. In addition, new anti-virus capabilities at the edge and in the cloud help organizations better protect against threats. CTERA 7.0 introduced industry-first migration tools that simplify the process of moving from a legacy NAS to a global file system. It includes strong desktop and mobile integration and a beautiful user experience.
