Global File Distribution
Quickly Distribute Data Globally without Duplication
Today’s modern enterprises require real-time collaboration across global sites. Data created in one location must be available for consumption or modification in multiple sites around the world quickly to drive high-performance
Challenges with global data distribution across geographies
Traditional Replication Methods
Includes utilities such as rsync, FTP, DFSR, and Robocopy
Leads to multiple versions and data loss across different locations
Becomes expensive due to excess capacity requirements
Traditional Remote Access
Lowers performance from centralizing your data and accessing it from multiple remote sites
Increases costs as enterprise WAN requires lease lines or MPLS links
Drives latency when enterprises use site-to- site VPN over public internet link
The Network is the Bottleneck
Challenges with LAN protocols (SMB/NFS) not working efficiently with latency issues
Large bandwidth requirement for data access across the source and target sites
Though technologies such as WAN optimization may improve performance it ultimately does not solve the problem
Seamless Distribution of Large Files via Panzura’s Global Cloud File System
Global Namespace
Data can be accessed globally, anytime, anywhere with Freedom Filer’s metadata synchronization services every 60 seconds. All of the data is consolidated in an object store, public or private reducing duplication
Local Caching Services
The Panzura Freedom Filer caching services allows each site to act as a single copy by automatically determining what data is actively being accessed from each site and caching only data needed at that site
Prefetch and Prewarming
The Panzura Freedom Filer further enhances local performance through the implementation of usage and request-based prefetch functions
