CTERA Portal – Small Business

Elev8 – CTERA Portal (Small Business)

Oper8 is a Certified Reseller Partner for CTERA in Australia.

While many small businesses have big IT requirements, bordering on enterprise-grade in some cases, you are constrained by tight budgets and a shortage of in-house IT personnel. When it comes to storage and data protection, you can face an impossible choice between overpriced enterprise solutions and cheap but inadequate consumer-level solutions.
