Transform your Data Management with Panzura

We're in our own league—and on a mission to become the global leader and undisputed first choice in unstructured data management.

""

Built for the Cloud We started a revolution.

In 2008, just two years after Amazon launched its cloud service, Panzura created a practical hybrid cloud model that made secure, global cloud file management an accessible reality for enterprise customers around the world. It also caught the attention of Silicon Valley.

Investment and expansion came thick and fast. Fueled by groundbreaking innovation and patented technology (nearly 40 patents and counting), Panzura challenged the status quo of traditional NAS systems and redefined an entire industry.
