Panzura Freedom VMware vSAN Certified and Available on VMware Marketplace

Panzura, Inc. announced the availability of Freedom and Vizion.ai products on the VMware Marketplace and its upcoming vSAN certification to be completed in Fall 2019.

It will provide file services for vSAN by consolidating data in any cloud with a file system enabling site to site collaboration. With Panzura Freedom, vSAN customers benefit from productivity gains, while lowering the cost of managing unstructured file data and improving overall profitability.

The average enterprise is doubling its data volume every two years, and 80% of the new content is unstructured. The data growth has led to uncontrollable sprawl and isolated data islands, in both public and private clouds, preventing distributed organizations to secure, consolidate, collaborate or access data. vSAN customers currently do not have an effective solution to manage massive data growth and distributed file data management across their hybrid or multi-cloud environments. 

vSAN certified, Panzura Freedom can provide file services for vSAN customers. It replaces traditional NAS with infinitely scalable and durable cloud attached storage (CAS) without sacrificing performance or re-writing applications running in the data center.

With Panzura Freedom, customers can consolidate their unstructured data across data islands to eliminate copy data sprawl, improving data security and reducing total costs by up to 70%.

Prospects who require a vSAN certified cloud file system have the freedom to choose the best cloud provider and deployment options. As a cloud file system to be vSAN certified and available on VMware Marketplace, joint customers can leverage Panzura Freedom for vSAN installations.

“Panzura has enabled our company to effectively collaborate in real-time across our global sites on large, multi-million $ file-based projects in a high performance hybrid VMware/Panzura edge to Azure cloud environment,” said Bryan Corcoran, IT manager, Timmons Group, Inc. “We are excited for the Panzura certification on vSAN and availability on VMware marketplace and look forward to further leveraging the joint solution for our business.“

Panzura Freedom users are also able to utilize and take advantage of VMware infrastructure and architecture. Beyond the inclusion in the VMware marketplace, the vSAN certification provides peace of mind that everything works together as designed and users can take advantage of all DR capabilities of vSAN. Its customers also have over 5,000 VMware installations on VMware ESXI.

“The Panzura Freedom Filer provides one global file system enabling customers to efficiently collaborate and collapse data silos across the organization, delivering a single source of truth to data,” said Rich Weber, CPO, Panzura. “This certification is an extension of our commitment to our customers and prospects by proving our platform conforms to the virtual infrastructure solutions provided by VMware.“
