What is Nasuni?
The Nasuni File Data Platform is a cloud-native suite of services offering user productivity, business continuity, data intelligence, cloud choice, and simplified global infrastructure. The platform and its add-on services replace traditional file infrastructure, including network attached storage (NAS), back-up, and DR, with a cloud-scale solution. By consolidating file data in easily expandable cloud object storage from Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, and others, Nasuni aims to become a cloud-native replacement for traditional network attached storage (NAS) and file server infrastructure.

Nasuni: Best in class for cloud storage
Pros
- The management console is extremely simple and easy to navigate, making common tasks easy to do.
- Our storage appliance is configured to snapshot data several times an hour, making the risk of data loss very low.
- Data restores are very intuitive, and take seconds to initiate regardless of whether it is one file or 300GB of data. We have successfully restored many Gigs of data in minutes.
Cons
- I wish there was greater ability to manage the data on the filer. For instance, culling the data for duplicates and cleaning up old data. We currently use a third party tool, which is very slow to run against many Terabytes of data. If this was included in the product from the ground up, I expect it could be much more efficient.
- This is not the least expensive product on the market. That being said, for what it does, we find it to be a very worth while investment.
Return on Investment
- Dramatically reduced time spent managing our storage platform. Quotas and reporting tools take all the guesswork out of data growth. Updates are easy to deploy. Time freed up can be used for more user-facing activities that we consider more valuable to the organization.
- The overall stability of the platform has been very good. We have been running on the same hardware for the past four years without any performance issues.
