Podcast: Interview with Sundar Kanthadai, CTO, Panzura

Panzura is a pioneer in Cloud File Storage serving data at any points on the planet from a central data repository stored on public or private cloud. It mixes object storage with edge access points and maintains NAS protocols for edge clients. It delivers a strict consistency model across sides and has been designed with a pretty unique star and mesh topology across CloudFS servers and back to the central storage. Following the recent IT Press Tour in January, I decided to record this episode with Sundar Kanthadai, the CTO of Panzura for 2 and half years. In addition, Panzura has acquired Moonwalk Universal and sells it today with some extensions as Symphony jumping into Unstructured Data Management. Panzura has been recognized, once again, as a leader in the Coldago Research Map 2024 for Cloud File Storage. We spoke about all these points with Sundar, starting with his motivation to join Panzura following his experience at Pavilion Data Systems.

I really enjoyed this talk, hope you will as well. Thank you Sundar.
