Case Study: Lockheed Martin reduces costs and boosts security with Panzura CloudFS

Lockheed Martin reduces storage costs and boosts NIST 800-171 compliance with Panzura

Lockheed Martin, a leading contractor for the US Department of Defense, faced challenges in meeting strict NIST 800-171 security requirements and moving its data to the Microsoft Azure Government Cloud. Their legacy NetApp storage infrastructure was struggling with performance and security, and they needed a solution that would enable real-time collaboration on large CAD files across multiple sites without impacting productivity. They turned to Panzura and its CloudFS product for a solution.

Panzura's CloudFS solution consolidated Lockheed Martin's distributed data silos into the Azure Government Cloud, facilitating the secure move and enabling seamless collaboration. The implementation resulted in significant cost savings, a simplified backup and disaster recovery process, and full compliance with NIST security mandates. Panzura empowered the contractor's engineering teams to work productively across North America with no impact on file access times.
