Cloud Migration and Standardization
Easily Migrate and Standardize Across Your Multi-Cloud Infrastructure
For successful cloud migration, enterprise customers need a way to migrate without rewriting apps, enhance performance and achieve high availability of data while reducing costs and simplifying management
Challenge: On a global scale, using local file services in each location lead to delays in transferring files back and forth between geographies, was time intensive for file sync & prone to error
Trigger: Need to Migrate and Standardize on One Global Cloud File System for Object Storage.
Solution: Panzura Freedom
Benefit: Seamless migration to cloud with great ease without disturbing existing workflows, easy to collaborate across the globe and teams can move fast
Challenges with Cloud Migration
Rewrite of Existing Applications
Migrating existing application to cloud compute platforms (AWS, Azure, Google, IBM Cloud) or private modern cloud architectures based on object storage is complex and cumbersome
Enterprise adoption of cloud services requires that the applications be rewritten to store data in an object store through a RESTful API
Lack of sufficient file services for cloud hinders app, file, and data mapping to cloud architecture
Data Locality for Apps and Users
Cloud migration requires exhaustive planning to ensure data locality
It is a time intensive process where data needs to be fully synced prior to shifting from on-prem to in-cloud
Customers are forced to do an all-or-nothing move vs making a gradual shift per workflow
Changes to Existing Workflows
Moving applications from on-prem to in-cloud architectures can adversely affect existing workflows
Cloud migration changes how data is collected, analyzed, and consumed
Customers may migrate apps and data workflows based on least impact vs business needs
Unified In-Cloud and On-Prem Storage Makes Cloud Migrations Easy
Enterprise NAS in the Cloud
Enterprise NAS functionality, consolidating data in the cloud while providing a unified access layer for both in-cloud and on-prem global access. File access for both NFS v3/v4 and SMB v1/v2/v3 protocols. Line rate performance from 1Gbps to 20Gbps is available to both users and applications. Filers can be deployed within a single cloud or a multi-cloud environment
Integrating with Existing Security Systems
The Freedom filers integrate with existing Active Directory (AD) and Kerberos environments. All data is fully encrypted both in flight and at rest using customer supplied certificates. Encryption certificates can be managed with customer KMIP services or directly on the Freedom filers allowing customers to independently encrypt their data without having to trust the cloud provider itself. Panzura’s Freedom series products are FIPS-140-2 and HIPAA certified
Purpose Built for the Cloud
Unlike legacy NAS solutions where cloud is an afterthought, the Freedom filer product line was architected from the ground up for the cloud with its distributed CloudFS file system. All data stored on the Freedom filer is immediately stored and consolidated into the cloud while providing fast access both in-cloud and on-prem. With 30+ patents granted around its cloud file system, Panzura makes the adoption of cloud technology seamless, performant, and simple
