- Hybrid Cloud & On-Premises Architecture: CTERA’s unique technology makes the cloud accessible without the need to change local systems, while extending local network storage capabilities with a variety of services.
- Layered Data Protection: For protecting business data against a variety of causes, ranging from accidental loss or theft, local disasters, hardware failure and human error.
- Remotely Managed Solution: Enabling MSPs, VARs and enterprise IT departments to run a fully managed solution without on-site IT presence.
- Safe & Secure: We have taken great care to make our solution as secure as possible, adopting recognized industry standards in encryption, data fingerprinting and access control.
- Designed to meet the needs of small businesses that have big IT requirements, bordering on enterprise-grade in some cases, when tight budgets constrain and there is a shortage of in-house IT personnel. When it comes to storage and data protection, the choice is often between overpriced enterprise solutions, and cheap but inadequate consumer-level solutions, and storage locations not physically accessible in this area.
- CTERA’s innovative cloud-integrated solution provides local NAS, backup agents for servers, desktops and laptops, remote cloud backup, file synchronization and mobile collaboration, all in a single tightly integrated product, delivered at a fraction of the cost of traditional disparate solutions.

CTERA provides an enterprise-grade alternative to consumer cloud applications, utilizing private cloud infrastructure and providing end-to-end security. Managed via Ctera Portal, the solution allows enterprises and service providers to set up file share and sync services for their users based on a variety of object storage platforms. CTERA’s file sync & share solution can be used as:
- FTP alternative and large file transfer (also known as a Virtual Cloud Drive)
- Secure file access for BYOD users
- Shared team workspaces
- File syndication (one-to-many or few-to-many)
Integration with Active Directory / LDAP
Use your existing Active Directory or LDAP directory services for identity management and user authentication, avoiding duplicate directory services, ensuring rapid deployment and maintaining role-based access privileges. AD groups can also be leveraged to determine user privileges for setting up shared project folders.
Multiple Folder Synchronization
Access to the cloud is not always guaranteed and at times may be slow. With folder sync, user files are automatically synchronized between their PC or laptop and their cloud folder, keeping files accessible and maintaining version control.
CTERA supports multi-folder sync, whereby any folder can be selected for synchronization either with a collaboration project folder or with a private cloud folder, with virtually no limit on the number of folders or their location.
Project Team Collaboration
CTERA’s file sync & share solution allows users to set up joint cloud storage workspaces in the form of ‘cloud folders’ for collaborating with colleagues, including the following features:
- Define read/write privileges and time-limited access
- Bi-directional synchronization of folders on their PCs with each other
- One-way synchronization for file syndication
- Conflict resolution in case of divergent file versions
- Ad-hoc sharing using time-limited invitation URLs
- Role-based privileges for allowing users to create shared project folders
