SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Panzura announced that the Panzura CloudFS hybrid cloud file platform has been named a finalist in The Cloud Awards 2024-25 under the Best Cloud Data Management Solution category. Now in its 14th year, the highly competitive, internationally recognized awards program celebrates the latest achievements and breakthroughs in cloud computing.

“The Cloud Awards recognizes our relentless pursuit of innovation and excellence. CloudFS empowers the enterprise to achieve unprecedented levels of data control, resiliency, and availability. This is a proud moment for all of us at Panzura, as we continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible in unstructured data management and hybrid cloud storage,” said Dan Waldschmidt, CEO, Panzura.

This year’s program saw entries from organizations of all sizes across the globe, including the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Europe, the Middle East, and APAC. Panzura joins distinguished finalists in other categories including Broadcom, Cloudera, CrowdStrike, Dynatrace, IBM, PagerDuty, RedHat, and VAST Data. The winners will be announced on January 14, 2025, following the final round of judging.

Panzura CloudFS seamlessly integrates with leading cloud storage providers like Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud Platform, offering users seamless hybrid cloud file access, simultaneous co-authoring, and global collaboration.

Its advanced features, such as global deduplication and real-time file locking, combined with immutability to protect against ransomware and other forms of malicious and unintentional data loss, make it a formidable solution for modern enterprises. Equally, the platform allows organizations to use on-premises object stores such as Cloudian.

CloudFS is designed to optimize data transfer and processing, which directly benefits AI workloads. Providing a global namespace and accelerating data access, Panzura CloudFS can significantly speed up AI model training and inference, leading to faster time-to-insight.

“Panzura’s progress to this stage is a testament to the outstanding work they have carried out in their field. I’d like to wish all of our finalists well as we head into the final round of judging to determine our winners,” said James Williams, CEO, The Cloud Awards.
