WHITEPAPERS

Panzura CloudFS is built from the ground up on a true global file system architecture, which is a key differentiator from Egnyte’s sync-based model. The following comparison tables highlight that CloudFS provides a single authoritative data source, real-time global and byte-range locking, and zero version conflicts by design. This contrasts with Egnyte, which lacks these capabilities and may lead to manual conflict resolution. Furthermore, CloudFS enables a unified global namespace and is designed for the hybrid and multicloud era, ensuring immediate data consistency and the ability to prevent data corruption from sync conflicts, which are not features of Egnyte’s sync-based approach.
