Who’s Responsible for Protecting Data Stored in the Cloud?
With cloud comes the notion of liberation. Cloud is the natural evolution of the data center. It’s easy to deploy, infinitely scalable, and highly redundant. It is the shiny new component inside the storage controller and is making it possible for an old dog to learn some very impressive new tricks. But with the cloud, comes responsibility. An article recently appeared over at BusinessWeek explaining how many businesses now operate under the assumption that once their data is sent offsite they need not be concerned…
In Apple’s iCloud, One Key to Rule Them All
Earlier this month it became widely publicized that Apple maintains complete control over the master encryption key to their marquee cloud offering, iCloud. Now, to anyone familiar with security and encryption this should come as no surprise. In order for nearly all consumer cloud services to provide anywhere access to data the provider must be able to encrypt and decrypt data on the fly. But it brings up the bigger question of, who should I trust with my data? The consumer cloud To even begin to answer that…
How Does Nasuni Compare to Box or Sharepoint?
I've heard the question countless times. It’s asked by customers, investors, and partners. I always have an answer (as I do for almost any question) but it hasn't always been great. And that bugs me... You see, I'm an answer guy. I like having the answers and I like being right. I pride myself on being able to take complex questions and provide simple answers. This question however has been one I've struggled with. If I work here and don't have a good answer, how can IT? Time to do some research - off to the…
Tech Talk: Data Migration - Part 1 (Introduction to Testing)
In part one of Nasuni's cloud report, we looked at how cloud providers stacked up against each other in terms of performance, stability, and scalability. As a follow-up to that testing we take a closer look at performance in terms of data migration. How fast can one of our customer's data sets be moved from Amazon S3 to Microsoft Azure? Or from Azure to S3? In the following video Rob Mason explains why this is such an important consideration and how we went about the testing.
Tech Talk: Data Migration - Part 2 (Tools & Testing)
In part 2 of the Data Migration Tech Talk series, Rob Mason goes into more detail about the tools and testing used to benchmark the cloud providers.
Tech Talk: Data Migration - Part 3 (CSP Limitations)
In part 3 of the Data Migration Tech Talk series, Rob Mason explains how transfer limitations imposed by the cloud providers impacts the time it takes to move data between the various clouds.
Tech Talk: Data Migration - Part 4 (Security)
In the conclusion to the Data Migration Tech Talk series, Rob Mason discusses security as it relates to cloud migrations and how Nasuni's technology allows data to remain encrypted throughout the entire operation.

Cloud Storage Vendors Offering Encryption as a Service
“2011 was a watershed year for encryption,” said Tsion Gonen, corporate vice president of Products and Marketing at information security firm SafeNet. “Driven by the need to secure growing virtualized infrastructures, as well as high profile security breaches, encryption emerged as one of the most effective means to protect sensitive data, no matter where it lives.”
