Panzura

Powerful Hybrid Cloud File & Data Platforms

Visit Panzura

Panzura provides hybrid cloud file and data platforms that consolidate file storage, backup, and disaster recovery onto a single authoritative data set in object storage. The platform addresses the problems of fragmented file infrastructure across multiple sites, including version conflicts, redundant filers and backup products, and ransomware exposure of backups.

The product line includes CloudFS for multi-site deployments, Express for single-site organizations, Nexus for AI data access through Microsoft 365 Copilot, and Symphony for data assessment and governance. Core capabilities include real-time global file locking down to the byte range, immutable snapshots as often as every 60 seconds, native SMB, NFS, and S3 protocols on one data set, file-level geofencing, and AI-powered threat detection. Nexus enables conversational queries over file estates through Microsoft 365 Copilot with permissions enforced at query time.

CloudFS and Express share one architecture, with Express licensed for a single site as software with built-in high availability and no hardware required. CloudFS is delivered through Panzura's partner-led model, with optional services such as data assessments, governance, threat detection, secure remote access, and Copilot-ready data attached as needed.
