Ctera Hybrid File Services for HPE Nimble Storage dHCI

By Oded Nagel, Ctera Networks, Ltd. 

It was a little less than a year ago that we announced the availability of Ctera file services for HPE SimpliVity, and we announce the next phase of our partnership with Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LP), extending the power of the Ctera global file system to HPE Nimble Storage dHCI users.

Nimble Storage dHCI users can visit the company website to get a free download for the Ctera virtual filer with public and private cloud service extension options.

Following the success of Ctera File for HPE SimpliVity, underscored by hundreds of users making Ctera Edge Filers a priority application within their SimpliVity environments, global file systems have become a natural extension of HCI, providing a connected fabric of file sharing and multi-cloud caching ranging from remote locations with SimpliVity edge systems to core datacenter environments with HPE dHCI.

By enabling Ctera Networks, Ltd. on their HCI systems, HPE users can unlock a range of new use cases based on their existing infrastructure, such as:

• NAS Modernization – replace expensive NAS systems with a software-defined CIFS/NFS file services with elastic cloud scaling

• Multi-Site Collaboration – increase productivity across distributed locations with efficient data synchronization over a single namespace

• Edge Data Processing – combine edge storage with edge computing for on-site data analysis to reduce network and cloud costs

• Data Protection – multi-cloud archiving with granular snapshots and full encryption control for efficient long-term data retention and compliance

The two companies are solving unstructured data management challenges through the synergies of a hyperscale global file system on HCI with high-performance flash storage and virtualization.
