Centralized management web-console and global metadata catalog for the CTERA Intelligent Data Platform
Overview
CTERA Portal serves as the central component for the CTERA Intelligent Data Platform, handling the presentation of the global namespace and indexing of metadata for all managed files and objects. Operating as a core administrative hub, the CTERA Portal offers a multi-tenant web console that allows IT organizations to centrally manage and automate data protection and governance across a distributed environment. It features controls for configuration management, centralized incident and alert handling, scheduling software updates, system monitoring, notifications, and more. Deployed as a AWS Instance across one or more availability zones or regions, the CTERA Portal cluster consists of metadata-catalog and application servers designed to horizontally scale to support petabytes of unstructured data and 1000s of remote CTERA Edge Filers and CTERA Drive App clients.
Highlights
- Manage, store, and protect petabytes of edge data from a single location. CTERA Portal delivers a multi tenant, multi cloud global namespace that centralizes control over user and machine generated data across distributed sites.
- With CTERA Portal, you can centrally manage the configuration of thousands of distributed edge sites, controlling access, shares, and system settings from one place. Monitor health and data synchronization in real time, generate chargeback and showback reports, and stay audit-ready with built-in alerting, logging, and incident response tools.
- CTERA Portal features a military certified, multi cloud architecture that scales horizontally to support secure collection, protection, and delivery of unstructured data across geo distributed environments. Optimize performance with built in WAN acceleration and block level deduplication for efficient edge to core data transfer.
