Panzura extends capabilities for remote workers with new patent

Panzura, provider of a global cloud file system, is receiving a patent from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for “Maintaining Global Namespace Consistency for a Distributed Filesystem.”

This patent encompasses several technologies, including real-time file locking capabilities across an unlimited number of distributed locations that deliver immediate file consistency to remote workers and distributed teams while using the cloud as a global data storage medium. 

This immediate data consistency enables distributed and remote team members to work together in real-time as quickly and easily as if they were all in the same physical location, even with challenging files and applications.

The patent is also an important milestone in Panzura’s unique ability to deliver full data consistency at the edge and between multiple clouds.

At the height of the recent lock down, many enterprises increased investments in bandwidth, network connections, and storage capacity to eliminate time wasted accessing massive amounts of data stored in remote data centers.

These solutions come with a substantial price tag, but none of them adequately addresses the issue at hand: to enable enterprise users to work together in real-time on the same datasets as if they were working in the same office—without risks of data collisions, overrides, or frequent version control errors.

Through Panzura’s patented technology, companies can consolidate the data they currently have spread across multiple office locations into cost-efficient cloud storage, while replicating the local network attached storage file operation technology they have always taken for granted.
