Case Study: M&S Engineering achieves faster project delivery with Panzura CloudFS

M&S Engineering cuts storage 40% and speeds project delivery with Panzura

M&S Engineering, a Texas-based electrical distribution and transmission engineering firm, faced significant collaboration and infrastructure challenges. Their distributed teams struggled with data silos, version conflicts, and slow manual synchronization of large, complex Power Line Systems (PLS) design files. These bottlenecks hindered productivity and created security risks. To address this, they turned to Panzura and its Panzura CloudFS hybrid cloud file platform.

The Panzura solution created a unified global namespace with intelligent edge caching, enabling real-time collaboration and eliminating file collisions. Key results included a 40% storage reduction through global deduplication, a 60-second recovery point objective (RPO) for ransomware resilience, and accelerated project delivery with reduced man-hours. Panzura's technology allowed M&S Engineering's distributed engineers to work simultaneously on files as if co-located.
