Case Study: Department of Defense contractor achieves lower costs and stronger security with Panzura CloudFS

DoD Contractor Reduces Costs, Boosts Security With Cloud Move

A leading contractor to the Department of Defense needed to move to Microsoft Azure Government Cloud, improve security to meet NIST 800-171 requirements, and avoid performance issues across multiple sites. The company also wanted to keep large SolidWorks and AutoCAD workflows running efficiently while reducing storage and backup complexity.

Panzura CloudFS consolidated data from multiple locations into Azure Government Cloud, deduplicated it to reduce storage footprint, and enabled real-time collaboration from a single data source. With Panzura, the contractor improved backup and disaster recovery, maintained fast file access, and met compliance requirements with FIPS 140-2-certified security, AES-256 encryption, and TLS 1.2; the result was lower costs, stronger security, and better productivity across its U.S. teams.
