CTERA, the leader in edge-to-cloud file services, announced version 7.5 of the CTERA Enterprise File Services Platform including CTERA’s patented Cloud Storage Routing technology as well as numerous enhancements in data management, deduplication, and security. This release further expands CTERA’s mission to evolve enterprise storage from an IOPS-centric approach to the new world of multi-cloud DataOps.
CTERA Cloud Storage Routing allows organizations to efficiently utilize multiple cloud storage providers and on-premises object storage systems with policy-based control over data placement. Organizations can route data to be stored in different destinations globally with a fine granularity based on tenant, user, or individual directory. With CTERA Cloud Storage Routing, organizations can maintain data sovereignty and GDPR compliance, while providing low-latency access to data and minimizing cloud egress fees.

Cloud Routing is built on the foundation of CTERA Direct, a high-performance, low-latency, direct-to-cloud data transport protocol that was designed to overcome data transfer challenges across different cloud environments and high-latency links, while adhering to a zero-trust philosophy.
“We see CTERA Cloud Storage Routing as filling a true need in the industry,” said Max Mortillaro, independent industry analyst at GigaOm. “The value proposition of CTERA leveraging heterogeneous multi-cloud resources is powerful, especially as more compute-intensive use cases rely on reaching the closest cloud for real-time performance. CTERA’s stand-out approach to the cloud is always worth enterprise consideration.”
