Telefonica, CTERA: Cloud Storage Services Partnership

Secure file sync & share — Bi-directional synchronization of local folders on users' PCs, Macs and Linux environments to the cloud, with data-at-rest and data-in-transit encryption, and mobile collaboration supporting iOS and Android.

Cloud-based team collaboration — Customers can set up shared workspaces for project teams, where users share files in the cloud, invite external users to access files on a time-limited basis, and have files synchronized to their PCs for local offline access.

Cloud storage gateway appliances — Customers can choose to have an on-premises CTERA appliance that provides a full set of NAS (network attached storage) features, supporting CIFS, NFS, AFP, FTP and rsync protocols, with RAID for local redundancy and customer-defined replication to the cloud.

Hybrid local / cloud backup — Customers can back up their servers, laptops and desktops to the local CTERA appliance for hybrid local/cloud backup, at both file and disk-image level (bare metal). Backup is incremental, de-duplicated between users within the same company, and encrypted, with private key control given to the customer so that their data remains secure.

Access anywhere — Customers can access and manage their shared files, backups and accounts on the Web, using a standard browser and mobile devices. Using CTERA's advanced Active Directory GPO (Group Policy Object) and Single Sign On integration, Telefónica's enterprise customers can effortlessly deliver end-point cloud backup and file sync & share services to hundreds or thousands of employees, with a single click.
