Nasuni enables organizations to store, protect, synchronize, and collaborate on files across all locations at scale. Nasuni Cloud File Services™, powered by the Nasuni UniFS® global file system, leverages cloud storage to modernize primary NAS and file server storage; archiving; backup; and disaster recovery, while offering transformational new capabilities for multi-site file sharing.

By combining the low cost, unlimited capacity, and durability of object storage from leading cloud vendors such as Amazon, Azure, Dell EMC, and IBM, with the high performance, security, and broad application compatibility of traditional file storage, the Nasuni subscription service improves workforce productivity, simplifies IT operations, and reduces IT costs.

The world’s largest companies in 12 industry sectors rely on Nasuni to maximize the business value of their file data and ensure business continuity.

Traditional backups, often an organization’s last line of defense again a disaster, are outdated and costing them time and money. Configuring incremental and full backup schedules, or pulling backups across the WAN to a central site, are cumbersome at best, unreliable at worst. So are babysitting backups to find out if they worked, and rotating and refreshing tape and disk media. And in the end, it still takes days or hours to recover.

David Shaw, chief science officer of Nasuni, discusses the alternatives to backups. We talk about continuous file versioning, which continuously loads file deltas to the cloud for safe and easily accessible storage, making the recovery processes easier, and more critically, faster (within minutes), minimizing costly downtime.

David also shares real-life anecdotes about customers who were able to recover files within minutes and maintain productivity without breaking stride.
