In January 2020, Excitech was acquired by Addnode Group, the owner of Symetri, Europe’s leading provider of software and services for design and engineering activities.
Excitech has now become Symetri, operating as one company since the beginning of January 2021. Please rest assured it is business as usual for us and your service experience will not be impacted.
Global Cloud File System
Panzura’s global cloud file system transforms cloud storage into high-performance enterprise file systems by giving distributed teams rapid, secure file access to a single, authoritative data source. Say goodbye to NAS storage for every office – by delivering one file system across hundreds of offices, Panzura CloudFS™ allows users to work together as if they were in the same room.
Panzura solves the specific challenges that Buildings & Infrastructure and Product Design & Engineering firms face when using a distributed workforce to collaborate using applications like Revit, AutoCAD and Civil 3D.
With Panzura, even the largest files typically open in under 10 seconds, from any location across your entire global cloud network. That’s because Panzura stores files as a single source of truth in the cloud while making cached versions available on local filers. This hybrid cloud approach leverages local processing power to deliver a legacy NAS experience.
Panzura’s unique real time file locking capability enforces a global file lock, where the entire file can only be edited by one user at a time. And, where applications like Revit and AutoCAD support it, byte-range locking means just the file elements currently being edited are locked, allowing your global teams to work collaboratively.
Panzura's patented technology leverages the speed of local flash storage to deliver real time file responses. Minimise bandwidth demands and time to sync by transmitting only altered portions of files simultaneously to the cloud and to every local filer. As a result, even the largest files are updated in near real time.
Panzura consolidates unstructured data storage, archive, backup, and disaster recovery in the cloud. Given the infrastructure demands for traditional NAS to accommodate files and backups for Buildings & Infrastructure and Product Design & Engineering Industries firms, switching to Panzura and cloud storage can result in savings of up to 70%.
Panzura’s simultaneous bursting data sync provides near real time updates across your entire organisation. Every 60 seconds, every site is synced to the cloud, and to each other, at the same time. Whether you have 5 sites or 500, each site always has an up-to-the-minute version of every file.
Panzura guards your intellectual property using the toughest security measures available. The global cloud file solution is protected by AES-256 CBC on the Panzura filer and dual encrypted with TLS 1.2 while your data is in transit between the local filer and your cloud storage.
Panzura's natively integrated enterprise file sync and share provides seamless access to your cloud data with enterprise-level security, even when you can’t be in the office.
