Ctera Earns US Department of Defense Information Network Approved Products List
To modernize file services infrastructure
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on October 17, 2019 at 2:16 pmCtera Networks, Ltd., in edge-to-cloud file services, announced its platform has been certified for the US Department of Defense Information Network Approved Products List (DoDIN APL).
This designation allows US Department of Defense (DoD) agencies to deploy Ctera solutions to modernize file services infrastructure.
DoD agencies are required to fulfill their system needs by only purchasing DoDIN APL-listed products, which have completed interoperability and cybersecurity certifications via a testing process conducted by the DoD.
The DoDIN APL is overseen by the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA).
Ctera is the first cloud file services provider to be awarded DoDIN APL certification.
Defense agencies use Ctera to connect distributed remote sites and users to a file system powered by the private cloud of their choice. Its proprietary data transport protocol enables secure data replication to geographically remote locations. Agencies can replace aging file storage systems including remote NAS and file servers at remote sites without impacting the performance or privacy of their data, and enable modern collaboration and reduced TCO.
Ctera Edge Filers, Ctera Drive, and Ctera Portal are included under the DoDIN APL designation, each having met the list’s strict security standards, including 100% on-premises installation, integrated DoD CAC (Common Access Cards) authentication, and audit logging.
Ctera previously received the Federal Information Processing Standard 140-2 (FIPS 140-2) validation certificate for its military-grade encryption.
“Ctera’s inclusion on the DoDIN APL reflects our commitment to ensuring federal and defense agencies can modernize without compromise,” said Richard Elliott, SVP of North America and US Federal Government, Ctera. “DoD agencies traditionally have been limited in their approach to NAS replacement and IT modernization due to highly strict data privacy requirements. The Ctera platform is uniquely capable of transforming file services within federal IT, delivering local performance, cloud scalability, and global collaboration – all with the highest levels of data control.“
