Panzura Edge Gateway to Secure, Remote, Unstructured Data Access and Collaboration

Panzura LLC announced its Edge gateway.

This scalable, enterprise-class file-sharing solution allows organizations to create private workspaces and securely share and update files stored within the company’s Cloud File System (CloudFS).

Employees and partners, inside and outside the organization, will have seamless file access anytime, anywhere, and on any device. They will also be able to collaborate on files within the protected ransomware-resilient CloudFS environment, without the need to export or make copies.

CloudFS delivers performance and low-latency file access across geographically dispersed locations, enabling organizations to consolidate their unstructured data into a ‘single source of truth’ that can be accessed and shared from anywhere.

Edge, which can be hosted on-premises or in the cloud, is designed to meet the file access and collaboration needs for C-Suite executives, IT managers, and business users in an ever-evolving work environment. It provides a secure way for using CloudFS-stored files for remote work and 3rd-party collaboration, minimizing the risk of data leakage and exfiltration. IT and data managers gain granular control over all data, preventing loss or corruption, while business users gain intuitive controls for an ‘anytime, anywhere’ working experience.

This solution addresses enterprise concerns such as data security, tech sprawl, cost savings and revenue retention. It empowers CloudFS customers to access and protect their proprietary data, while increasing its accessibility both inside and outside the workplace.

“Panzura Edge is a game-changer for organizations that need to share data with authorized partners without sacrificing data control or security,” said Don Foster, global head, sales engineering. “When users need to collaborate using their mobile devices or across multiple locations around the world, Panzura Edge gives them an efficient and secure gateway for sharing their CloudFS-held files.”

 Key features of Edge include:

• Remote access to CloudFS data: It provides secure access to enterprise data anytime, anywhere, using any device and without a VPN.
• Advanced file sharing and collaboration: It allows secure sharing of files and folders both inside and outside of the organization, with full control retained over the data.
• Robust security: It offers secure password-protected file sharing, 2-factor authentication, and up-to-date encryption methods to ensure data security.
• Customization: It allows for granular control over data sharing, including limiting downloads, automatic expiration of shares, and anonymous file uploads.

These features facilitate modern enterprise-scale collaboration through secure file sharing, customizable permissions settings, accessible common folders, personalized deployments, and industry-leading encryption methods.

“Panzura Edge helps our team ensure productivity across all offices and remote locations,” said one C-Suite executive user. “Our risk of data exfiltration has gone down dramatically.”

An IT manager from another client company added: “With the Panzura Edge gateway we have total control over our files, even when they’re accessed remotely via browser.”

Edge is available for all the company’s customers.
