Backblaze and CTERA Now Offers All-In-One Distributed Cloud File Storage Solution

Business News News April 5th 2022

Considering the rapid growth of remote workforces and global collaboration, Backblaze, a leader of global storage cloud platform providers, and CTERA, a leader of distributed cloud file storage for enterprises providers have announced their partnership to make life easier for IT admins challenged by on-premises files server and NAS management.

The partnership is formed to offer a contemporary, all-in-one cloud file storage solution that has the potential to extend and increase the capabilities of classic NAS and file servers in the cloud. It will save a lot of time for IT teams with their troubleshooting and upgrading of on-premises hardware.

Oded Nagel, Chief Strategy Officer at CTERA said, “The company has observed a massive shift from traditional NAS to cloud NAS and from edge to core access as organizations evolve and expand. CTERA is committed to its vision of providing the widest choice of cloud to its customers. Thus, the partnership between Backblaze-CTERA establishes compelling, new, and cost-effective storage options for companies that wish to tier their data to the cloud for collaboration and redundancy”.


NAS Devices and Old File Servers

CTERA’s Enterprise File Services Platform for distributed cloud file services has been now combined with Backblaze B2’s object storage in order to provide the cloud-based global file system that allows IT admins to:

  • Increase the on-premises infrastructure capacity already in place.
  • Remove old NAS devices and all old file servers.
  • Empower the remote workers and multi-site cooperation.
  • Create robust catastrophe recovery and business continuity plans.

Backup data from all around the world in one centralized location along with the assurance of quick (through CTERA’s Edge Filers) and reliable access (with Backblaze’s 99.9% uptime SLA).

Allows them to stretch their budget by using Pay-as-you-go Cloud Servers at a fraction of the price of compatible products.

Nilay Patel, Vice President of Sales at Backblaze mentioned, “In case you are tired of buying new types of equipment every three years or replacing hard drives, paying for maintenance, power, or space for a data center, and on top of that the headaches of managing remote user access, then CTERA and Backblaze partnership is perfect for you. We have created a setup extremely easy and the immediate budget and staffing relief will provide you with resources to grab new opportunities. You’ll never feel a need to upgrade NAS again”.
