Metadata can be defined as “data that describes and gives information about other data”. In the case of a file system, the metadata is used to describe directories, files, and file attributes. Particular file attributes include file size, creation date, last modified date, file owner, and file access permissionsThe purpose of this white paper is to describe Panzura’s patented technology for sharing metadata, and how it forms the foundation of the Panzura Global File System.

Private or hybrid cloud file sharing provides many business benefits over traditional on-premise network attached storage. It enables organizations to consolidate infrastructure and remove duplicate silos of storage from multiple sites and office locations. Cloud file sharing reduces storage costs, simplifies storage management and reduces risk as data can be centrally managed and protected. It also helps improve user productivity and enables collaboration as data is readily accessible regardless of where the end users are located. However, ensuring that files can’t be accidentally overwritten or deleted is critical to the integrity of the data and the success of a cloud based file sharing initiative.

Architecture-Engineering-Construction (AEC) firms large and small struggle in providing adequate infrastructure to allow its users sufficient performance to satisfy even the most basic functionality such as file open and save. Panzura Cloud Storage Controllers offer a high performance and cost-effective method that seamlessly integrates with CAD. By leveraging Panzura, AEC organizations with users dispersed across multiple geographies can share CAD files as though the data is always right next to them. This document describes a set of best practices along with a contextual background on how everything works.

From our inception, Panzura understood that file locking is critical to delivering local NAS features from globally-distributed storage. Storage companies are discovering that providing an elegant, seamless, and robust globalized cloud storage solution that closely mimics a local NAS user experience is far from trivial, especially if trying to retrofit systems not designed for cloud storage. This paper describes Panzura’s unique ability to provide global storage with local NAS attributes through deep integration of distributed locking into the very fabric of our global file system.

Backup and disaster recovery (DR) equipment, software, and processes typically represent one of the largest percentages of an overall storage budget. One of the benefits of the Panzura System is the ability for storage architects and administrators to radically simplify and cost reduce their data protection schemes without sacrificing any of the underlying protections. This white paper discusses the elements of a solid data protection plan, how they are typically implemented, and how the model changes when deploying the Panzura System in conjunction with a private or public storage cloud.
