Panzura Freedom is a hybrid cloud storage platform that enables IT departments to manage the explosive growth in unstructured data. It’s a good fit for customers that have an existing, heterogeneous footprint of NAS solutions and would like to unify dispersed data solutions in multiple locations on AWS for collaboration or archive. Panzura Freedom is based on the Panzura Cloud File System, which enables transparent file movement and management across Amazon S3 and multiple geographic locations.

With the increased demand from various applications and massive growth of unstructured data from workloads such as high performance computing (HPC), video rendering, or editorial workflows, traditional Network Attached Storage (NAS) solutions are a poor fit for these workloads due to their limited scalability and performance constraints. Qumulo’s continuous replication feature and ability to easily share data enables some particular use cases, such as bursting workloads across locations.
