Nasuni
Windows File Servers to manage and share data across a distributed environment . Although this has been a typical approach in the industry , large file sizes and growing amounts of data have made such infrastructures increasingly inefficient and expensive to maintain .
The move to Nasuni represented both a modernization of the firm ’ s infrastructure and a single solution to their varied concerns . Instead of ten Windows File Servers , backup software , and file synchronization solutions , Jakob Müller Group depends solely on the Nasuni File Data Platform . Virtual Nasuni Edge Appliances cache files locally at 14 locations around the world , yet all file data scales cost-effectively in Azure Blob Storage . Nasuni Continuous File Versioning ® eliminated the need for separate backup , and Jakob Müller Group was able to reduce its backup storage footprint , cancel maintenance of a WORM storage volume , and drastically cut the cost of restoring data , resulting in a 33 percent reduction in annual costs .
Global collaboration Manufacturing companies now employ several sites in the design , manufacturing , and service of their products . Traditional site-to-site implementations struggle to maintain performance levels as more sites are required to support a product ’ s lifecycle .
With Nasuni , globally distributed engineering and manufacturing teams can now collaborate on all engineering files as if they were in the same office . Any changes made to a cached file in any location are compressed and encrypted on the local edge appliance . The versions are then propagated to object storage , where they are stored as immutable , readonly versions and synchronized to all other sites as needed . With S3 protocol support included , the propagation of large files is faster than ever . The result is increased productivity for the whole organization .
