One Solution
to Simplify File Management and Orchestration
Across Edge, Data Center, and Cloud Storage
PeerGFS is a software-only solution developed to solve
file management/file replication challenges in multi-site,
multi-platform, and hybrid multi-cloud environments. With over
25 years of experience in geographically dispersed file replication,
we help organizations:
- Improve availability through Active-Active data centers
(on-premises and/or in the cloud) - Protect data at the Edge with Continuous Data Protection to the data center
- Increase productivity for distributed project teams with fast, local access to file data
Today’s always-on world requires real-time data infrastructure with 24x7x365 availability. PeerGFS works with the storage systems you already have deployed and support:
- High volume data replication between well-connected data centers
- Wide area networks with limited bandwidth and higher latency
PeerGFS is easy to install and manage. Different job types can be configured, at a granular level, to support specific application requirements.
Main Features of PeerGFS:

Active-Active
Synchronization
Replicate data in real-time across locations, data centers and cloud availability zones

Distributed
File Locking
Prevent version conflicts across distributed mirrored storage systems

Delta-Level
Replication
Replicate file changes vs. entire files for faster performance

No Vendor
Lock-In
Non-proprietary, software-based solution supports native file and object formats

Cross-Platform
Integration
Real-time replication engine supports leading storage vendor platforms

Global DFS
Namespace
Deploy and manage a Global Namespace to unify enterprise storage using Microsoft DFSN

Object Storage
Integration
Supports leading on-premises and cloud object storage systems including S3 and Azure Blob

Dynamic Storage
Utilization (DSU)
Control cost of unstructured data growth by optimizing the storage footprint of edge systems with a local file cache

Malicious Event
Detection (MED)
Monitor file activity for suspicious behaviors and patterns for an additional layer of security
PeerGFS Job Types
PeerGFS includes numerous job types to increase flexibility and efficiency in meeting specific application requirements. Create jobs at a global or granular level, to empower your storage infrastructure with global file collaboration, Active-Active data center synchronization, or backup consolidation for Edge locations. See what PeerGFS can do for you in the examples below.
Enterprise File Collaboration
for Multi-Site and Multi-Vendor Environments
Provide fast, local access to shared company files for distributed teams without the risk of version conflicts. PeerGFS works across all major storage vendors, protecting prior investments. Delta-level synchronization improves efficiency over wide area networks to enable collaboration regardless of distance.
Data Center Synchronization
Active-Active Highly Available File Services for VDI and Application Data
Real-time replication synchronizes file data across multiple data centers, edge locations, and cloud instances for near-zero RPO. Support automatic end-user failover and failback without disruption. In VDI deployments, end-user data can be made available in locations throughout
the enterprise.
Continuous Data Protection
for Data Center and Edge Locations
Provide continuous data protection and backup consolidation by replicating file changes, as they occur, to centralized storage in the data center or cloud. Minimize RPO/RTO with automatic failover when configured with DFS Namespace.
Cloud Backup/Replication
For Azure Blob, Amazon S3, NetApp StorageGrid, and Nutanix Objects
Back up file data to object storage on-premises or in the cloud without expensive hardware or the need to implement a proprietary file system. Data in the cloud is stored in an open format that is immediate accessible for value-added cloud analytics services. Easily recover individual files or entire data sets to any point in time.
