Nasuni File Data Platform

Nasuni Corporation is a leading provider of file data services, including file storage, backup, ransomware protection, and VPN-less file access for hybrid workers. The Nasuni File Data Platform is a cloud-native replacement for traditional NAS and file server infrastructure. Nasuni consolidates file data in expandable Azure object storage at a fraction of the cost of on-premises solutions. It eliminates the need for complex legacy file backup, disaster recovery, remote access, and file synchronization technologies, simplifying IT storage administration and enhancing worker productivity.

The Nasuni File Data Platform includes:

1) One Infinitely Scalable Infrastructure

With Nasuni, you can consolidate all file storage silos in the cloud, replacing on-premises primary storage and backup while cutting costs by over 50%. Nasuni unifies file storage, backup, and disaster recovery into a simple, lower-cost solution.

Nasuni’s single global namespace provides a centralized location for all file data, reducing your data center footprint by leveraging Azure object storage. IT teams can oversee cloud file storage anytime, anywhere, with one administrative console and dashboard visibility to monitor user activity and consumption.

2) Built-In Security

Nasuni Continuous File Versioning takes snapshots as often as every minute (RPO) and stores them as immutable versions without retention limits. Built-in recovery eliminates the need for expensive backup solutions, enabling millions of files to be restored in minutes (RTO). Disaster recovery takes just 15 minutes to restore impacted file shares. Ransomware detection and mitigation is optionally available.

All file data is encrypted and stored in redundant object storage in an immutable format, providing unmatched data protection and rapid recovery.

3) Optimized User Productivity

Nasuni consolidates and centralizes all files into a global file system, accelerating file sharing and collaboration across office locations. It enables file sharing in low-bandwidth situations for a variety of file types, such as CAD drawings, medical images, legal briefs, surveillance videos, manufacturing designs, and more.

4) Multi-Protocol Edge Performance

Lightweight Nasuni Edge virtual machines cache frequently accessed data from cloud object storage for high-performance access in remote locations. These allow organizations to deliver high-performance file services locally while leveraging cloud object storage as the central repository for unstructured data. Nasuni applies data analysis to predict and optimize Edge cache utilization, making disconnected file shares a thing of the past.
