Market Guide highlights the capabilities of hybrid cloud storage platforms to leverage cloud agility and elasticity to provide data mobility, resiliency, and operational efficiencies across on-premises, edge, and public cloud environments
SAN JOSE, Calif., May 14, 2024 – Panzura LLC, a leading provider of hybrid multi-cloud data management solutions, has been named in the Gartner Market Guide for Hybrid Cloud Storage. This marks the second consecutive time the company has been included.
Panzura has been recognized as a Representative Vendors for Hybrid Cloud Platform and Data Transfer.
According to the Gartner Market Guide for Hybrid Cloud Storage, “Hybrid cloud integration is one of the top challenges I&O (infrastructure and operations) leaders face in delivering seamless data services across on-premises, edge, and public cloud environments.”
Additionally, the report notes "Gartner clients seeking to modernize their unstructured data platforms are expressing the greatest demand for hybrid cloud file services among other hybrid cloud storage services.” Also, “While hybrid cloud storage can fulfill various use cases, the ones most commonly recognized and financially supported by I&O leaders are disaster recovery, burst for capacity and storage standardization.”
CloudFS, a core element of the Panzura Data Management Platform, protects and simplifies access to file data across complex enterprise hybrid cloud environments. CloudFS allows enterprises to consolidate unstructured data silos — even when they’re distributed around the world — and offers a unified view of file resources through a global namespace. Uniquely offering real-time, highly performant global collaboration and file accessibility to significantly boost organizational performance, CloudFS also provides rapid disaster recovery capabilities as well as ransomware resilience.
“Our customers are looking for ways to streamline file data management and access regardless of where they choose to store their unstructured data,” said Panzura CEO, Dan Waldschmidt. “They want their files to be accessible, observable, and protected on any device and from any location, whether the data itself sits in a public or private cloud, or on-premises.”
“We believe the Gartner Market Guide for Hybrid Cloud Storage is a valuable resource for enterprises facing hybrid cloud challenges around collaborative file access, data services, cyber resilience and more,” said Waldschmidt. “We are proud to be one of the solution providers included.”
In the last year, Panzura has introduced Panzura Edge, an extension to CloudFS that enables seamless real-time file access, secure sharing, and monitoring via mobile devices. It also deepened its data resilience capabilities with the recent launch of Panzura Detect and Rescue, which uses AI-infused detection software to spot ransomware attacks as they begin and allow organizations to stop them before they take hold.
Panzura was also recognized in the Gartner Hype Cycle™ for Storage and Data Protection Technologies in 2022 and 2023.
