CTERA Hybrid Cloud Data Platform is an enterprise-grade storage and data management solution that combines on-premises infrastructure with cloud storage capabilities. The platform is designed to enable organizations to manage, protect, and access file data across distributed environments, including remote offices and branch locations, while centralizing storage in private or public cloud infrastructure. The platform provides hybrid cloud file services, allowing organizations to extend file storage to the cloud while maintaining local caching for performance. It is built for multi-tenant deployments, supporting large enterprises and service providers that need to manage data across multiple sites or customers from a single management layer. Key functional areas include cloud-based file storage and synchronization, data protection through backup and recovery mechanisms, edge filer appliances for local access, and a global file system that spans across cloud and on-premises environments. The platform addresses use cases such as remote workforce file access, data consolidation, and storage modernization.
