Panzura's data management platform is used by both the private and public sector to securely manage hundreds of petabytes of data stored in public, private or dark clouds.
Panzura replaces legacy network-attached storage at as little as 1/3 the total cost of ownership. Firstly, it consolidates unstructured data from all locations and deduplicates it to achieve up to 70% reduction in total storage space required. Then, Panzura provides data resiliency without replication with immutable data storage and read-only snapshots that provide granular file restoration capability and are resistant to ransomware.
Once installed by Panzura's professional services team, IT teams can manage their own Panzura deployments. End users will continue to work with their files and workflows without noticing any difference... except that files open, save and changes show up faster.
Over and above Panzura's next generation cloud NAS capabilities, it is the only multi-cloud data management platform with real time data consistency. Whether you have 5 locations or 500, changes made and saved to any file are immediately visible to every location that needs to see them. This, coupled with real time, automatic file locking and "local feeling" performance, delivers exceptional and measurable productivity gains to enterprises, especially those operating multiple locations and where staff are working remotely.
Panzura competes directly with legacy storage suppliers such as NetApp and Isilon, as enterprises look to purchase additional storage and/or move data and workloads to the cloud. In the global file services space, CTERA and Nasuni offer some similar features, though architectural differences can result in significantly different performance outcomes, especially if the enterprise has an expectation that files will be immediately consistent across all locations.
Panzura deduplicates and compresses unstructured (file) data, which frequently reduces an enterprise's overall storage footprint by up to 70% (sometimes even more). Being cloud agnostic, Panzura allows you to use an public, private or dark cloud as an object store, and prevents cloud lock in by allowing you to move cloud storage without disruption. Panzura is alone in delivering a true "local-feeling" file experience, moving data so fast it feels to your users like it's stored locally, regardless of file size, number of users, number of locations or the distance between them.
Already powering remote working deployments throughout the world, clients can expect Panzura to continue to bring data closer to to the edge. Supplementing data protection that already shrugs off ransomware attacks, will be development and integration of early threat detection and mitigation.
Panzura manages all unstructured data, allowing it to be stored in public, private or dark clouds. Additional integrations deliver enhanced security and functionality. These include VMWare, Veeam, Citrix, Varonis and more.
Pricing is based on data under management, and how that data is used (tiers include archive, active, collaborative). Panzura is priced as a subscription, allowing enterprises to turn storage CapEx into OpEx.
Both a free demo and proofs of concept are available.
Panzura offers comprehensive training, including a 3-day foundations course designed to deliver a deep understanding of system architecture, functionality such as file locking, global read write, caching, file syncing, snapshots, high availability, installation, administration, monitoring, and troubleshooting.
Each deployment is different. Installation is carried out remotely by Panzura support technicians, in conjunction with local IT departments.
Panzura's support organization offers around the clock support via our customer Service Hub, phone and email.
