File Management
for the Edge
Improve productivity and data availability
throughout the enterprise.
Today’s “always-on” world requires real-time infrastructure that extends to remote offices and supports latency-sensitive applications and services at the edge.
Increase Productivity for Remote Teams and Applications
Slow (remote) file access and updates over a WAN connection cannot compete with the performance of fast local access to shared project files.
Simplify High Availability and Backup
Proprietary legacy backup systems at every location are expensive, cumbersome to manage, and increasingly do not meet uptime requirements for business-critical applications and processes.
Fight Back Against Exponential Data Growth
Control the increasing cost of unstructured data growth while ensuring productivity by optimizing storage footprints on edge locations with a local file cache.
Peer Global File Service
Peer Software helps organizations simplify file management and orchestration in multi-site, multi-vendor, and multi-cloud environments. PeerGFS is a software-only solution that integrates with all major storage platforms and supports standard file formats to prevent vendor lock-in.
- Real-time replication provides fast, local access to mirrored data across sites to improve productivity for distributed teams.
- Integrated global file locking prevents version conflicts.
- Delta-level replication moves only the changed portion of a file to preserve bandwidth and ensure minimal RTO/RPO.
- High availability and automatic failover/failback is enabled across edge, data center, and cloud systems.
- Automated centralized backups across the enterprise simplify processes and reduce costs, while improving recovery performance.
- Local file caches at edge locations limit unstructured data growth across locations while maintaining end-user productivity.
- Malicious behaviors and suspicious file editing patterns are monitored for an additional layer of security.
Fast File Access
Improve productivity for distributed teams by enabling fast, local access to shared project files.
Cross-Platform Integration
Replicate data between storage systems that best meet specific application/business requirements.
Centralized Backup
Reduce costs by centralizing backup with real-time replication from the Edge to the data center.
Highly Available File Services
Enable high availability and load balancing of end-user and department data with real-time delta-level replication.
Central Management
Manage and monitor all Collaboration, Backup, and Replication jobs across all servers from a single console.
- Detailed job statistics
- Comprehensive log files
- Email and SNMP alerts
- Web and native client
- Role-based permissions
- Active Directory integration
RelyOn Nutec
As the world’s largest provider of safety training for the offshore, maritime and renewables industries, RelyOnNutec Safety Services is a business built on decades of trust that is continuously innovating.
“We needed a replication service that we could adopt across our network, which required a vendor that has worked with larger organizations with sizable amounts of data.”

Global IT Director
Configuration Examples
The following graphics illustrate examples of PeerGFS deployments. Improve productivity with Enterprise File Sharing by providing fast, local access to shared data. Reduce backup costs and enable Continuous Data Protection (CDP) by centralizing backup to the data center or cloud. Minimize RTO/RPO with Active-Active high availability at the Edge and across the enterprise.
Enterprise File Sharing
Enable fast local access to file data for distributed teams and applications while ensuring version integrity and optimizing storage efficiency at edge locations. Delta-level synchronization reduces WAN consumption and minimizes the impact of distance and latency. Replicate file data across different storage vendors/platforms, between edge locations, data centers, or the cloud.
Centralized Backup
PeerGFS employs real-time replication to achieve Continuous Data Protection (CDP) across different hardware platforms to reduce RTO and RPO to minutes. Integration with Microsoft Namespace allows automatic failover in the case of a failure or Edge location outage.
High Availability
Synchronize multiple data centers, or just two servers, to realize Active-Active high availability and reduce RTO and RPO to minutes. Users can be redirected to active systems without disruption. Delta-level replication reduces network consumption to help reduce the impact of distance and latency between on-premises systems or different cloud zones.
Reduce Risk
PeerGFS is a software-only solution that integrates with existing infrastructure and leverages open standards. Reduce the risks associated with proprietary solutions and vendor lock-in.
Save Money
Save money by increasing storage efficiency at the edge, and centralizing backup across the enterprise while reducing administrative overhead. Cross platform support allows you to choose on-premises or cloud storage technologies that are optimized for capacity and cost to further enhance ROI.
Improve Productivity
Improve productivity and profitability by enabling efficient, global file sharing. Fast, local access to collaborative data reduces time to market, helps to meet contractual deadlines, and improves research outcomes.
