FAQ
Can CTERA integrate with existing NAS protocols without disruption?
Yes, we support integration with existing NAS clients. Our architecture enables a hybrid deployment that allows for in-place data migration and preservation of existing file system permissions (ACLs), minimizing operational disruption.
How does CTERA handle large-scale, high-throughput data migration during NAS modernization?
We utilize asynchronous block-level replication and multi-threaded data transfer mechanisms to ensure high-throughput and efficient large-scale data migration. Leveraging incremental sync for changed data blocks and WAN optimization techniques, we’re able to significantly reduce the time and bandwidth required for migrating multi-petabyte datasets from NAS systems to cloud object storage.
Does CTERA support multi-cloud and hybrid cloud deployments during NAS modernization?
Yes, we provide native support for multi-cloud deployments using our global namespace. With our cloud-agnostic architecture, you can distribute file system data across public cloud (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) or private cloud environments. This intelligent policy-based data movement across cloud tiers (hot, cold, archive) ensures optimal cost-performance balance while supporting advanced multi-cloud orchestration.
