Why Partner With CTERA:

Azure Marketplace Diagram
  • Drives Azure Consumption and MACC Attainment
CTERA’s Hosted and Private Data Services are transactable Azure Marketplace SaaS offerings, with Marketplace purchases 100% eligible toward a customer’s Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment (MACC). The platform also drives additional Azure infrastructure consumption through Azure storage and AI services.
  • A Natural Copilot and AI Conversation Opener
CTERA classifies, governs, and enriches unstructured enterprise data, making it AI-ready for Microsoft 365 Copilot, Azure OpenAI, and other AI initiatives. This allows sellers to expand storage and governance conversations into broader AI-readiness discussions.
  • Flexible Deal Paths that Fit Microsoft Ecosystem
Customers can purchase directly or through partners via MPO and REO, with 1-5 year terms and flexible billing options while preserving Marketplace and MACC benefits.
  • Co-sell Incentives
CTERA is aligned with Microsoft’s co-sell and Azure Marketplace motions, enabling Microsoft sellers to receive credit for the deal while leveraging Microsoft-funded POC credits and Marketplace benefits that help reduce adoption friction and accelerate customer adoption.

Why Customers Say Yes

Big, Quantified Cost Savings
CTERA is positioned to cut NAS costs 50–80% versus legacy platforms like NetApp or Isilon, getting customers off the hardware refresh cycle entirely.

Cost and Simplicity
Capacity-based, grow-as-you-go subscription lowers total cost of data ownership vs. legacy NAS/backup stacks, with two deployment options (fully hosted starting at 10TB, or private/VPC-deployed starting at 50TB) depending on how much control the customer wants.

Security and Compliance
ero-trust, DoD-certified architecture with AI-driven ransomware detection (claims sub-30-second stop via honeypot-style detection) and immutable snapshots, mapped to HIPAA, PCI, GDPR, CMMC, and FINRA requirements.

Scale and Flexibility
10TB (hosted) / 50TB (private) entry points, unlimited Edge Filers, and deployment either in CTERA’s Azure environment or the customer’s own tenant/VPC depending on how much control they need.
