Panzura Success
Rating: 9 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
We purchased Panzura to alleviate the issue of high latency between different sites for an engineering firm. We completely replaced our file storage at each site with caching servers instead and it is being utilized by the entire company. We found cost savings in not having large amounts of redundant storage at each location and instead using Azure Blob Storage.
Pros
- File caching.
- Data usage metrics.
- Cost savings.
Cons
- More flexibility in platforms to run on.
- More support for high IO applications like arcMap.
Likelihood to Recommend
Panzura works well for companies that have a high amount of data with cross site collaboration being done. The caching ensures you don't need huge investments of storage at each site and the cloud storage ensures high availability over what can be done locally. Also helps eliminate duplicate data across sites and/or small variations in the same data.
