The Panzura Cloud Storage Controller is available as a Virtual Machine (VM) for small branch office deployments.

"While very small organizations can use Dropbox or Sugarsync to replicate files between locations, and create a backup copy while they’re at it, those services don’t provide the scale or level of service even a midsize company needs. Panzura is another valuable tool in my storage architect's toolkit, and I can see myself using it in situations with and without a private cloud back end." -- Howard Marks |

"Panzura fills a pressing need in the enterprise, providing high performance global access to data sets regardless of location. This is ideal for workloads that need to be processed by users and teams spread around the world globally. Leveraging the cloud to provide an enterprise sync of large data sets or a true global file system is a much needed solution in the enterprise." -- George Crump and Eric Slack, Senior Analysts |

"As far as differentiation goes, take a look at Panzura. The Panzura Controllers are very fast, offering line speeds that match those of public cloud storage networks, and are feature heavy—with built-in support for CIFS, NFS, File Locking, Versioning, Snapshots, Compression, Dedupe, Cache—and the product supposedly works. It’s not a lab experiment that’s not ready for prime time and it’s not a low-end, scalability-challenged box with little more than a cool name going for it." |
