Comparing Panzura to AWS FSx for Window File Services

From their architecture to their outcomes, Panzura and AWS FSx for Windows File Services are two very different solutions.

Panzura’s hybrid cloud platform CloudFS is underpinned by a global file system designed to allow enterprises to consolidate file data, reduce storage volumes, move file data to the cloud, control cloud costs, and empower multi-site collaborative workflows with fast performance from edge to cloud. It also imbues data with ransomware resilience via immutable data and immutable snapshots to avoid data loss, and early detection to minimize disruption. 

AWS FSx for Windows File Services is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution that allows organizations to work with files held in AWS cloud storage. In this document, we compare the two solutions with respect to system scale, resiliency, immutability, and adaptability, and show how this affects the outcomes you can expect.
