Keeping Virtual Machines Streamlined
Here at Nasuni, we are all for virtualization. The move away from physical hardware to virtual hardware, or the consolidation of boxes into virtual machines, gives you an enormous amount of flexibility in your data center and ends up consuming far less power and space. It’s obvious why virtualization is so popular right now. Of course, we are also deploying a virtual machine ourselves, so it shouldn’t be a surprise that we support this larger technology flow.

Hello, VMUG Phoenix
Last week, we traveled to Phoenix, Arizona, to the VMware User Group (VMUG) meeting, where we showcased the Nasuni Filer. Because the Filer is virtual filer server that runs on VMware, we wanted to connect with people who were already converts to VMware and show them how the Filer can improve their virtual environment further. We opened a public Share on a demo Filer and made it available to anyone at the show, and, at the booth, we demoed the Filer’s administrative features. Users were particularly curious about setting up multiple cloud providers and were surprised to see how easy it is to create a new volume attached to a specific provider. Restoring a file was another popular demo request, and we got a kick out of watching the wow factor at work when users saw how instantaneous it is.
