Powering file services on AWS

The CTERA Enterprise File Services Platform enables organisations to power a wide range of file services on AWS, including:


 

By operating entirely within a customer’s virtual private cloud (VPC) on AWS, the CTERA platform delivers the highest levels of data security, privacy, and control.

 

CTERA and AWS power the file services modernisation for many leading global organisations today. This includes The Carlyle GroupJ. Walter Thompson (JWT), Live Nation, and many others.

 

A game-changer for storage costs

“We estimate Amazon S3 Intelligent-Tiering to reduce our typical customer’s S3 bill by approximately 23 percent”. This is a “real game-changer,” said Aron Brand, CTO of CTERA. “It uses a clever pricing model that eliminates much of the uncertainty surrounding cloud storage costs”. Not only that, it also allows you to mix frequently and infrequently accessed data. “Our new support for S3 Intelligent-Tiering means organisations have greater opportunities for data optimisation as they shift from their legacy NAS systems to modern, software-defined file services.”

 

CTERA is an AWS Partner Network (APN) Storage Competency Partner, achieving the designation from AWS based upon CTERA’s customer successes, technical proficiency, and product portfolio.
