Panzura = Your Strategic Advantage

While your competitors struggle with file storage, version conflicts, and rising costs, AEC firms using Panzura gain six strategic advantages that directly solve core challenges and deliver measurable outcomes.

Real-Time Global Collaboration

Panzura CloudFS utilizes a Mesh Architecture to ensure instant file consistency across global teams, overcoming the limitations of slow sync-based solutions. A core differentiator is distributed file locking and advanced byte-range locking, which enables distributed teams to work simultaneously on the same BIM/CAD files with zero version conflicts or productivity-halting overwrites.

Dramatic TCO Reduction 

Firms experience significant Total Cost of Ownership reduction thanks to CloudFS’s global deduplication, which delivers up to 70–80% storage savings and a 35–85% typical bandwidth reduction. Panzura uses a capacity-based licensing model, eliminating the financial penalties of per-user models and offering unlimited user access for contractors and temporary staff. This efficiency means most AEC firms achieve discernable ROI within weeks.

AI-Powered Resilience

With AEC firms being a top target for ransomware, CloudFS provides a robust defense-in-depth approach built on an immutable file data foundation. This is coupled with AI-powered Threat Control that utilizes behavioral fingerprinting to rapidly detect issues and deliver incredibly fast 60-second Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs) against both accidental and malicious data loss.

VPN-less Secure Edge Access

CloudFS ensures secure and performant file access without the need for a VPN via web, desktop, or mobile apps. This access is enhanced with integrated workflows, including the built-in Autodesk Viewer, watermarking, file sharing, approval processes, Microsoft 365 file co-authoring, and Google Workspace integration, making data available wherever people are working.

Make Data Usable for AI

CloudFS stores all file data as native objects in your preferred S3-compatible cloud, ensuring your data is immediately in the right format for AI training with zero migration or duplication. This allows Panzura Symphony to leverage years of project data to generate winning proposals, predict project risks, and extract intelligence. The native S3 format is key for future-proofing your data strategy.

Zero Trust Data Broker for AI & Compliance

Panzura Symphony acts as a Zero Trust Data Broker, enabling secure, compliant, and efficient access to unstructured data for AI and analytics workflows. It ensures every data request is authenticated and filtered using metadata-driven access and provides granular compliance controls (e.g., CMMC, GDPR, HIPAA, ITAR) and tamper-proof audit trails. Symphony provides the control and visibility layer over your CloudFS data and other data sources.
