Primarily, it is the way Panzura CloudFS handles the file locks and the way these filers, along with the authoritative copy of all our data, which is about 27 terabytes located in an AWS bucket in the cloud, operate.
Panzura CloudFS offers collaboration, file snapshots, and data protection with robust global accessibility through its core components, PanFS, NAS, and collaboration. File locking enhances reliability, while CloudFS improves network resilience, synchronization, and security. Migration reduces data center footprint, although connecting issues persist for external users. The Master Snapshot stands out amidst familiar features, but performance issues with GIS formats and high costs suggest needed price competitiveness and transition support to Azure AD or Entra ID.
