CTERA named hybrid cloud storage leader in 2025 global awards
CTERA has been recognised as a Leader and Fast Mover in the 2025 GigaOm Radar for Globally Distributed File Systems, marking its fifth consecutive year of top-tier placement in this category. The company has also featured as an Innovation Leader in the Frost & Sullivan Frost Radar Hybrid Cloud Storage, 2025, achieving the highest number of security certifications among all providers included in the analysis for this year. Additionally, CTERA was awarded the 2025 Global Company of the Year Award in the Hybrid Cloud Storage Leadership market by Frost & Sullivan. The recognition was attributed to the strength of its global file system platform, its security capabilities, and its product development strategy. Industry positioning The 2025 GigaOm Radar commended CTERA's global file system for features such as enterprise-grade access controls, robust security, and broad integration capabilities. These include granular permissions via role-based access control (RBAC), AD/LDAP integration, multifactor authentication, and a Zero Trust architecture. The system further offers end-to-end encryption (AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit), AI-driven ransomware protection, WORM enforcement, honeypot features, and dual antivirus scanning. Protocol support is extensive, covering SMB3, NFS (v3 through v4.2), and S3, with optimised transfer using the CTERA Transport Protocol. Chester Conforte, Analyst at GigaOm, stated, "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. 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 organisations with distributed operations." In the Frost Radar analysis of Hybrid Cloud Storage, CTERA was noted for its AI-centric innovations, such as real-time data intelligence and AI-based cyber resilience features. These advancements are designed to support sensitive data protection and enable generative AI models using private, real-time data. The Frost & Sullivan report highlighted the platform's suitability for sectors requiring high-security standards, indicating: "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." Product security and technology Karyn Price, Industry Director, ICT at Frost & Sullivan, commented further on CTERA's platform functionality, stating, "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. CTERA's platform stands out with a set of patented technological innovations that optimise 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." Frost & Sullivan emphasised that the companies meeting the criteria of its Frost Radar are industry leaders for growth and innovation, and play a key role in shaping the market's future direction. Feedback from leadership Oded Nagel, Chief Executive Officer at CTERA, responded to the news by stating, "Being recognised by both GigaOm and Frost & Sullivan as leaders in hybrid cloud solutions underscores our commitment to delivering innovative solutions to our customers. 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." Award assessment and impact Frost & Sullivan's evaluation process included benchmarking for growth and innovation. The firm noted that CTERA's platform enables both public and private sector clients to scale data systems and manage security across diverse environments. Karyn Price, Industry Principal, ICT at Frost & Sullivan, further stated, "CTERA's platform optimises file storage and transfer in complex, multi-cloud environments. CTERA Direct, a service within the platform, enhances file transfer speeds via its ultra-fast, edge-to-cloud file transfer protocol, which provides fast movement of data for data-heavy workloads. Perhaps most compelling is the military-grade security capabilities that CTERA offers to its customers. The CTERA platform provides native data protection and restoration capabilities, enabling customers to eliminate separate data protection services if they choose." The report noted that CTERA's approach is centred on customer experience, relying on technology partnerships and localised support to serve a globally distributed user base. Frost & Sullivan annually presents the Company of the Year Award to firms demonstrating effective strategy development and implementation that result in improvements in market share, customer satisfaction, and competitive positioning.
