Growth of unstructured file data across industries has been one of the primary engines driving our success over the past ten-plus years. Every industry vertical is dealing with file growth, but it’s no surprise that healthcare is seeing more challenges than most. The rapid increase in the size and complexity of medical images, PACS systems, and organizational file shares has revealed the fundamental limitations of traditional storage. But with healthcare, it’s not just about storing files. Today’s healthcare organizations need these files to be accessible very quickly. They need to facilitate ..read more

Welcome to 2022. Not only is ransomware still here, but it’s not going away any time soon. Ransomware hits a business every 11 seconds, according to CyberSecurity Ventures, and global damages are expected to reach $40B this year. Yet, our customers have never paid a ransom, thanks to Nasuni Rapid Ransomware Recovery capabilities. Recently I hosted Accelerating the Fight Against Ransomware with the Cloud, an exciting, information-packed webinar on the threat of ransomware and how to address it in 2022 and beyond. My guests were Microsoft Chief Security Advisor, Jim Eckart – who was previously C ..read more

Here at Nasuni, we often talk to IT leaders who know they should move their file storage to the cloud, but simply haven’t gotten around to it yet. Maybe you’re in that same boat, and you’re intimidated by the migration process. Maybe your NetApp rep talked you into another hardware expansion. Or maybe you’ve been listening to backup vendors too long to discern the truth about file data protection in the age of ransomware. Like a diet & exercise-related New Year’s resolution, there’s always a reason not to follow through. Well, we’ve decided to make it easier for any remaining holdouts by c ..read more

  ‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all over the globe, all their files were protected – or so they were told. I.T. leaders were sleeping all snug in their beds, while visions of budgets danced in their heads. When what on their laptop screens should appear, but a ransomware warning. Oh my goodness, my dear! All their files were encrypted every user locked out. If this were a ballgame, it would be a rout. Tim rushed to Linkedin to refresh his CV, but Kim calmly began the rapid recovery. They had a cloud-based solution, an ace up their sleeves. With Nasuni cloud storage, they’d roll b ..read more

My role at Nasuni has changed over the years, but I have always been an advocate for technical upgrades that make the platform simpler, faster, and more powerful. Our 9.5 release, which is in limited availability now, will be generally available early next year, and delivers all of these values in one package. In this post, I’d like to highlight several technical improvements, which fall into a few broad categories, and review what I think 9.5 is going to do for our customers. Better Management You may have seen the recent announcement of our newest intelligent cloud service, Global File Accel ..read more

As I write this, my head is still spinning from AWS re:Invent 2021, but before I get into the exciting news to come out of the conference, let me just say how fantastic it was to be back at a real, live, in-person event. Last year at this time, I wrote about the virtual version of re:Invent. Somehow, AWS managed to make it interesting and stimulating for all of us home-bound, screen-sick cloud geeks. Yet this year was electric. The conference was a great reminder of the value of face-to-face meetings – how simply passing someone you’d met in the past can lead to high-quality interactions and e ..read more

While we don’t know exactly what every IT professional has on their holiday wish list, we do have a pretty decent idea of the storage-related and backup-related desires. Here’s a quick rundown of what Nasuni customers will be enjoying over the break, and what every IT Pro with cloud on the mind should have on their holiday wish list. 1. More Time We all want more time to spend with our friends and families over the holidays – or more time away from them. Either way, no one wants to be wasting these next few weeks managing storage capacity, backup, users, volumes, replication schedules, and oth ..read more

When I started at Nasuni in 2017, I was tasked with building a world-class customer support and professional services organization. As company momentum continues to grow out of our record-setting third quarter, I’m proud to announce that our Customer Success organization is keeping pace, winning the prestigious NorthFace ScoreBoard Award for 2021. The award recognizes companies that demonstrate a unique commitment to customer service excellence, and it’s the only one of its kind based on actual, verified customer satisfaction surveys. For my team, this is validation of years of hard work. It’s ..read more

Here at Nasuni our Google Cloud business has been growing steadily since we announced the launch of our partnership earlier this year. We’re seeing more prospects gravitate toward Google Cloud, and more existing customers switch their backend storage from other object storage providers to Google. One of the drivers behind this momentum is cost — deploying Nasuni in tandem with Google Cloud Storage Archive is 1/5th to 1/3rd the cost of leveraging one of the other hyperscalers. Yet cost isn’t the only metric. Nasuni deals in files, which can be some of an organization’s most important assets, so ..read more

I was talking with the CIO of one of our longstanding clients recently when he mentioned that one of his favorite things about our platform is that he no longer worries about backup. This came as no surprise. Backup is broken and it has been for decades. Yet comments like these are music to my ears because backup is one of the reasons I founded Nasuni in the first place. Let me tell you my backup story. Years ago, I was CTO of a large media company and, like many organizations in that space, we were frequently sued for alleged intellectual property breaches. One of those suits called for us to ..read more
