About Cloud Attached Storage
Cloud Attached Storage
®
combines a Network Attached Storage appliance in your local
network with online cloud services. File sharing is performed on the local network, while
cloud storage services are used for off-site backup, file sync and share (FSS), and disaster
recovery. Automated block-level incremental backup and restore functions include
de-duplication, compression, and encryption technologies, for secure and efficient
synchronization between the cloud storage service and the CTERA appliance.
