CTERA Networks is a privately held enterprise software company headquartered in New York and Israel. The company has regional offices in the UK, Italy, France, Spain, Germany, and Australia.[4]
CTERA has partnered with companies including Amazon Web Services, Hewlett Packard Enterprise,[5] IBM,[6] Hitachi Vantara and Cisco.[7] Clients include Deutsche Telekom,[8] Banco Santander,[9] Axa[10] and the United States Department of Defense.[11][12] In October 2016 IBM became a CTERA reseller. IBM's Cloud Object Storage, integrated with the CTERA Enterprise File Services Platform, can be deployed on-premises, in the cloud or in a hybrid on-premises/cloud setup.[13]
CTERA was founded in 2008 by Liran Eshel and Zohar Kaufman.[14][15]
As of 2018[update], CTERA has raised $100 million in funding from investors including Benchmark Capital, Venrock, Cisco Systems, Bessemer Venture Partners and Vintage Investment Partners.[16][17][18][19][20][21][22][15][14][23]
In June 2016, CTERA earned a contract to provide a private cloud file sharing solution to the United States Department of Defense. As part of the agreement, CTERA and DISA (Defense Information Systems Agency) co-developed a mutual authentication technology using government-issued smart cards for additional layers of protection beyond the standard enterprise integration with Microsoft Active Directory servers.[11][12]
In 2022, CTERA updated its Global File System, introducing enhanced capabilities for managing cloud storage, permanent data deletion, and other data protection features. The product was enhanced to includes new features such as cloud storage routing for more granular data management and control, as well as enterprise key management for cryptographic keys.[24]
