Case Study: M&S Engineering achieves faster project delivery and 40% lower storage with Panzura CloudFS

M&S Engineering Boosts Security, Productivity, Optimizes Storage

M&S Engineering, a Texas electrical engineering firm, struggled with file data silos across multiple offices, slow manual file copying, version conflicts in large PLS and CAD projects, and rising storage and security risks. To solve these issues, M&S Engineering turned to Panzura CloudFS to unify access to its distributed engineering files and support faster collaboration.

Panzura implemented a hybrid cloud file platform with a single global namespace, edge caching at each office, global deduplication, file locking, and immutable snapshots for ransomware recovery. The results included a 40% reduction in storage, zero file collisions, real-time collaboration across offices, and faster project delivery with fewer man-hours per deliverable, while also achieving a 60-second RPO for rapid recovery.
