Ctera and Hitachi Vantara in Partnership

Ctera Networks, Inc. announced a partnership with Hitachi Vantara LLC, where its offerings will be sold under the Hitachi brand.

This expanded partnership will further advance secure, multi-cloud unstructured data services, and offers data management from edge-to-core-to-cloud utilizing the Hitachi Content Platform (HCP) as the centralized object storage system.

The collaborative product will be marketed globally as HCP Anywhere Enterprise and will provide an integrated migration path for customers using legacy HCP Gateway, Hitachi Data Ingestor or other discrete NAS systems.

HCP Anywhere Enterprise will include the following features:

• Wide Use Case Coverage: Catering to a spectrum of needs, from primary and secondary edge-to-core-to-cloud file services, to machine-generated data workflows.
• NAS Modernization: Offering NAS capabilities for SMB and NFS.
• Archive: Providing secure, long-term storage for infrequently accessed data.
• Enterprise File Sync and Share Capabilities: Ensuring collaboration within the organization and with external parties.
• Cyber-Resilient Storage: Including AI-based ransomware detection, malicious user blocking and rapid rollback.
• Immutable Storage (WORM): Guaranteeing data cannot be modified or deleted once written, adding an extra layer of security and compliance.
• Scalability: Facilitating horizontal scaling to petabytes of data with central multi-tenant administration and an object-storage backend.
• Enhanced Security: Offering defense-grade protection and 100% behind-firewall deployment, meeting the needs of security-conscious customers.
• Integration with Hitachi Lumada Data Catalog: Empowering modern, data-driven enterprises to meet regulatory compliance requirements by cataloguing, categorizing and setting data management policy for distributed edge data.
