The Panzura System vastly improves the way file-based services are deployed. Whether your goal is to unify file access across physical sites, centralize storage, or off-load file-based data to the cloud, Panzura can help.  Our products are helping large organizations solve significant challenges with their file-based storage infrastructure. Here are some examples that typify our use cases.

Follow-the-sun Engineering – Product development organizations often leverage multiple engineering teams spanning the globe so that work done by one team can be continued by another team on a different continent during the night.  For these organizations it is impractical to physically ship data sets around, and the requisite twice-daily (minimum) synchronization cycles are extremely difficult to manage and costly to get wrong when it can mean losing the entire day’s work performed by one or more engineering teams.  The Panzura System enables the work performed by one team to be rapidly available to the overseas team without any administrator intervention, and the work performed by the overseas team to likewise be reflected back to the local team.

Media and Entertainment – Rich media assets are often created collaboratively between multiple sites and even multiple vendors. The Panzura Multi-Site File System enables not just sharing of content, but rapid local access to large media files, which is essential for productivity.

Professional Services – Large professional services firms typically have geographically dispersed offices.  Successful client engagements rely on client teams being able to access project files used in similar past engagements and collaborate with in-house experts wherever they may be.  This is difficult when storage is organized into facility-based islands, but becomes simple when the entire organization shares a common view of project assets through the Panzura Multi-Site File System.
