CTERA Expands into Data Intelligence
Multi-Site File Collaboration
Enjoy Fast, Efficient, Secure File Collaboration
Empower your employees to access the same file shares and tap into expert resources from any remote or home office as needed. With CTERA, you get fast and encrypted file transfer protocols to overcome latency and ensure security across your organization.
Get Secure File Sharing
Give users private and vendor-neutral file sharing with secure links for internal and external collaboration. Deploy in your datacenter or as a ‘virtual private’ solution that leverages public cloud infrastructure. Either way, you always retain complete control and ownership of your data.
Access from Any Device, Anytime, Anywhere
Natively access, edit and share all organizational files from any Windows, Mac, or Linux laptop/workstation or iOS, Android, or Windows mobile device. Share files and folders externally using date-limited links, and access previous versions of files.
Always See the Latest Version
CTERA’s global file system tracks file changes across the entire organization and creates unique, incremental versions of files as they are updated. Changes are then distributed to each Edge Filer to ensure users at every site are accessing the most up-to-date version.
Discover Infinite File Capacity
Never run out of hard disk space again. CTERA’s caching technology lets users enjoy unbridled desktop access to unlimited cloud-based files and folders, regardless of the physical storage on their devices. Our global file system is a federated Distributed File System that makes data available over long distances, perfect for remote workers.
See More Productivity and Less Cost
Our patented technology allows edge devices to communicate directly with the nearest object storage buckets while maintaining security, leveraging a disaggregated architecture to save time, reduce data transfer costs, and lower compute demands.
Remove the File Sharing Burden from IT
Some popular file-sharing tools are cumbersome and typically necessitate time-consuming and costly IT support. CTERA enables users to set up their own shared workspaces for multi-site collaboration without IT involvement and without file size or bandwidth limits.

FAQ
What network requirements are needed to support multi-site collaboration with CTERA?
For optimal performance, we recommend a minimum bandwidth of 10 Mbps for each site, with latency under 250ms for real-time synchronization. WAN optimization features, like data compression and deduplication, help reduce bandwidth consumption and ensure efficient multi-site collaboration, even over low-speed connections.
Can CTERA support both cloud and on-premises collaboration for hybrid environments?
Yes, that’s exactly how CTERA was designed, i.e., for hybrid cloud architectures, allowing organizations like yours to store frequently accessed files locally while syncing to cloud storage for backup and disaster recovery. Users can collaborate across on-premises systems and cloud environments seamlessly, with files synchronized between all locations.
How does CTERA ensure data consistency and integrity during collaboration across multiple sites?
We do this with strong consistency mechanisms using a distributed locking system and automatic file versioning to ensure that the same data is reflected across all edge locations. File consistency checks, hash-based integrity verification, and replication policies ensure that all collaborators have access to the most up-to-date and consistent file versions.
