CTERA Leads in AI-Driven Hybrid Cloud Global File Systems

CTERA announced it has once again secured recognition as a Leader and Fast Mover in the 2025 GigaOm Radar for Globally Distributed File Systems, marking its fifth straight year in a top-tier position for its global file system. The company was also spotlighted in the Frost & Sullivan Frost Radar Hybrid Cloud Storage, 2025, as an Innovation Leader, distinguished by holding the highest number of security certifications among this year’s evaluated providers.

“CTERA is a leading provider of globally distributed file systems and is positioned as a Leader and Fast Mover in our latest GigaOm Radar for Globally Distributed File Systems,” said Chester Conforte, Analyst at GigaOm. “CTERA supports a wide range of industry verticals and the platform’s hybrid deployment flexibility and robust compliance features make it particularly well suited for regulated industries and multinational organizations with distributed operations.”

In the Frost Radar for Hybrid Cloud Storage, CTERA was cited for its AI-centric innovations such as real-time data intelligence and AI-based cyber resilience features that help safeguard sensitive data from emerging threats while enabling generative AI with real-time, private data context. CTERA was praised for how the “platform satisfies the requirements of high-security customers in the military, healthcare, banking, and federal sectors because of its security-first architecture and ability to operate as a 100% private platform. This puts the company in an excellent position to compete for and win business in the most highly regulated industries and those storing highly sensitive data.”

“The CTERA platform was also designed to provide active data protection, including capabilities such as AI-based ransomware protection, continuous cloud replication, and instant disaster recovery (DR), as well as unique honeypot decoys that are not currently used by competitors in the space,” said Karyn Price, Industry Director, ICT, Frost & Sullivan. “CTERA’s platform stands out with a set of patented technological innovations that optimize file storage and transfer in complex, multi-cloud environments. Core among these innovations is CTERA Direct, which enhances file transfer speeds via its ultra-fast, edge-to-cloud patented file transfer protocol, which provides fast movement of data for data-heavy workloads.”

“Being recognized by both GigaOm and Frost & Sullivan as leaders in hybrid cloud solutions underscores our commitment to delivering innovative solutions to our customers,” said Oded Nagel, CEO at CTERA. “Our platform transforms passive file storage into an active, secure data fabric for AI workloads, delivering the performance, context, and control enterprises need to trust their data and accelerate innovation.”
