Morro Data is a cloud storage-as-a-service company located in Fremont, California. It was founded in 2014 by Paul Tien. Tien is also the founder of ReadyNAS, a network attached storage product line eventually acquired by NETGEAR.

Morro Data utilizes a hybrid cloud architecture with local file caching gateway and a global file system that eliminates VPN, resulting in the combination of the Cloud and the NAS (Network Attached Storage). CloudNAS modernizes enterprise storage to sync, lock, and protect office documents and design files with a cloud-first approach, while continuing to present the fast, secure, and familiar NAS interface to users. This results in the removal of hard drives while maintaining its performance in the cloud. The firm employs a cache drive for performance, but stores data in the cloud, providing unlimited scalability in the cloud while conserving bandwidth. Morro Data works with a variety of cloud storage providers such as Amazon Web Services, Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage, and BackBlaze.

Businesses in AEC, Manufacturing, Logistics, Training, Finance, M&E, Life Sciences, and others have used Morro Data's CloudNAS 3-in-1 global file services to quickly and efficiently manage consolidated unlimited file storage, sync files from multiple offices, and instant disaster recovery. Through the Cache and Sync system, Morro Data allows users to manage files through easy drag-and-drop procedures while simultaneously eliminating sluggish upload times as the xCache technology bypasses local PC storage limitations. With the CacheDrive managing file transfers, files are able to be synced across all locations and can be accessed anywhere, anytime from a Team Portal. Morro Data emphasizes the importance of syncing data across multiple locations, enabling multi-site enterprises to efficiently work in multiple offices as if on the same network.

In June 2019, Morro Data integrated with JumpCloud’s Directory-as-a-Service to provide businesses a solution to eliminate traditional file servers and domain controllers, allowing for a cloud-centric approach for key infrastructure.
