CTERA signs strategic sourcing agreement with Hitachi Vantara

CTERA has formed a strategic sourcing agreement with Hitachi Vantara where CTERA offerings will be sold under the Hitachi brand. This expanded partnership will further advance secure, multi-cloud unstructured data services, and offers seamless data management from edge-to-core-to-cloud utilizing the market-leading Hitachi Content Platform (HCP) as the centralized object storage system. 

The collaborative product will be marketed globally as Hitachi Content Platform Anywhere Enterprise (HCP Anywhere Enterprise) and will provide a fully integrated migration path for customers using legacy HCP Gateway, Hitachi Data Ingestor or other discrete network-attached storage (NAS) systems.

HCP Anywhere Enterprise will include the following features:

Wide Use Case Coverage: Catering to a broad spectrum of needs, from primary and secondary edge-to-core-to-cloud file services to machine-generated data workflows.

NAS Modernization: Offering high-performance network-attached storage capabilities for SMB and NFS.

Archive: Providing secure, long-term storage for infrequently accessed data.

Comprehensive Enterprise File Sync and Share Capabilities: Ensuring seamless collaboration within the organization and with external parties.

Cyber-Resilient Storage: Including AI-based ransomware detection, malicious user blocking and rapid rollback.

Immutable Storage (WORM): Guaranteeing data cannot be modified or deleted once written, adding an extra layer of security and compliance.

Scalability: Facilitating horizontal scaling to petabytes of data with central multi-tenant administration and an object-storage backend.

Enhanced Security: Offering defense-grade protection and 100% behind-firewall deployment, meeting the needs of security-conscious customers.

Integration with Hitachi Lumada Data Catalog: Empowering modern, data-driven enterprises to meet regulatory compliance requirements by cataloguing, categorizing and setting data management policy for distributed edge data.
