CTERA Reports Rapid Growth in 2020 Amid Increased Demand for the Multi-Cloud Global File System

Enterprises Prioritizing Remote Work Solutions Delivering HQ-Grade Experiences Anywhere

CTERA, the edge-to-cloud file services leader, announced strong growth in 2020 driven by continued demand for its multi-cloud global file system. CTERA enters 2020 having realized a 47 percent year-over-year annual recurring revenue increase in its edge-to-cloud solutions. CTERA today delivers the most broadly implemented enterprise cloud file storage solution, deployed in over 50,000 sites in 110 countries and utilized by millions of corporate users daily.

As organizations worldwide close large campuses in favor of regional branches and satellite or work-from-home offices, they are prioritizing global file system technologies that centralize data access and deliver an HQ-grade experience from any edge location or device. Additionally, they are leveraging the global file system’s built-in security and data protection tools to stop the proliferation of ransomware and other cybercrime attacks through increasing remote file access channels.
