The CloudFS UI simplifies management of globally distributed, cloud-integrated storage, making it easier for companies to take advantage of cloud storage economics and use it as their primary storage. It also gives administrators a simple visual interface to check status and activity up to 14 days in the past across the entire company’s deployment.

When the cloud becomes your primary file storage, you need to take a different approach to how you manage the hybrid environment. Storage solutions — even ones that provide some cloud connectivity or site-to-site replication — typically provide an administrator interface for each local storage system, but don’t offer a global view,” said Rich Weber, chief strategy officer, Panzura. “There’s normally no unified view of unstructured file data. As more and more companies expand internationally and make cloud storage part of their infrastructure, IT managers need a global view of their file data. We’re pleased to provide just that with our new CloudFS UI.

With the company, the cloud is the authoritative source for all files. Active data is cached on local controllers to provide fast access for users, and firm’s patented global file locking ensures data integrity across every site. To manage primary storage that is dispersed across both the cloud and every office, administrators benefit from both a map-based user interface and the ability to look back in time across the system.

CloudFS Console gives administrators:

  • Google Maps view of all controllers and connectivity between them.

  • The ability to view activity, status and alerts going back in time up to 14 days.

  • Status of locally cached data at each site.

  • Status of cloud and network connectivity.

  • Status of each controller.

  • Status and information about every file stored in the Global File System.

  • Alerts on any potential problems across the entire company’s infrastructure, network and cloud.

Over a third of firm’s customers have already deployed the CloudFS UI and are seeing the benefits.

The new Panzura CloudFS Console makes it even easier to take advantage of cloud storage for my primary data. Panzura’s new console lets me proactively monitor the status of file services in all of GRAEF’s offices,” said David Neumann, director, IT, GRAEF-USA. “The combination of the Google Map view and status dashboard means I get a panoramic view of all of the controllers at all of my offices, including overall file service performance, connectivity to the cloud and details on every file.

Panzura’s Global File System already lets us collaborate in real-time across offices in applications like AutoDesk Revit and AutoCAD. It’s one of the single most important technology ‘enablers’ to our One company philosophy, and makes establishing new offices much easier as we grow,” said Hernan Gutierrez, manager, IT, Entuitive Corporation. “The CloudFS UI gives us the ability to easily monitor each office and our cloud storage, and address any potential bottlenecks in the network or cloud before they affect project timelines.

CloudFS UI is available at no additional charge to all firm’ s customers with current support contracts.
