We’ve been shouting from the digital rooftops for a while about Nasuni’s Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery capabilities. While our rapidly growing and very loyal customer base is still the best metric for success, I’m thrilled to report that one of the leading cybersecurity media brands just selected Nasuni as a 2022 SC Award winner for Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery.

In my thirty years working as an IT professional in the oil and gas industry, I know first-hand that every energy company has unstructured data in its file management systems. A quick Google search tells us that 82% of CIOs say their organizations are vulnerable to cyberattacks, which begs the question – how prepared is your business to combat an attack?

Our customers typically come to us with an eye on solving one or two major, pressing problems. Maybe a StorSimple array is approaching EOL or they need to exit a handful of data centers. A ransomware incident may have sparked their interest. Or it could be that the high costs and extreme hassle of managing backup across multiple locations sent them searching for a more efficient cloud alternative.

The rise and evolution of ransomware is throwing a pretty harsh spotlight on the recovery times of traditional file data protection. Recovering from a ransomware attack using traditional backup can take days or weeks. Even if you have a modern online backup solution, you’re still in for some serious headaches.

Hardly a day goes by without a ransomware attack in the news. Ransomware can impact everything from our utility companies to our hospitals and is affecting our way of life. These are scary times, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Ransomware isn’t new, and while it continues to adapt to become more sophisticated, so do anti-ransomware solutions like Nasuni and Varonis.

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.

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’s Rapid Ransomware Recovery capabilities.

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. Well, we’ve decided to make it easier for any remaining holdouts by compiling a list of five simple file storage resolutions every organization should adopt in 2022!

Happy Holidays from Nasuni! 'Twas the night before Christmas, and all over the globe, all their files were protected - or so they were told.

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. 

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.

The backup vendors don’t want you thinking about recoverability. But if you hope to survive in the age of ransomware, fast recoveries are absolutely paramount.
