What does it mean to deliver a technology as a service? The "as a Service" moniker has become an irresistible marketing tag. What we used to call Software as a Service (SaaS) has mushroomed into Web Services, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Cloud Services or just Cloud. The challenge is how to distinguish real “as a Service” technology from cloud-wash or lipstick-on-legacy imitations. Here are 6 things to look for in technology that has been architected to be delivered as a Service.

As security threats continue evolving and malicious actors work tirelessly to find new ways to inflict harm, the Information Security team at Nasuni is working even harder to protect our customers, company, and people. We're growing our team of passionate, dedicated engineers and staffers, developing new tools and monitoring systems, and a great deal more. Yet a strong security strategy should not be based solely on trust, so we have once again subjected our systems and approaches to third-party validation for an unbiased assessment.

Open ecosystems and collaborative partnerships matter, particularly with cloud infrastructure solutions. Google Cloud maintains a robust partner ecosystem that encourages companies like file-data-services provider Nasuni to create innovative solutions that run on its infrastructure. Partners can leverage what Google Cloud has built and advanced over many years to offer new, exciting capabilities for its customers. Nasuni's new Ransomware Protection add-on service to its Nasuni for Google Cloud offering is an example.

The growth of unstructured data is accelerating. More people in more places are creating more files, and for organizations that continue to rely on traditional storage and data protection solutions, this is quickly becoming a very serious problem. At Nasuni we hear about unstructured data growth all the time from new and incoming customers, partners, first-time prospects, and IT leaders who switch to new companies and bring Nasuni with them. Gartner has taken the lead in tracking these trends and advising their clients on how to evaluate infrastructure and operations platforms in preparation for the years ahead.

When people in the technology industry talk about big data, they are typically referring to structured data. If you swipe or tap your credit card at a specific location, the information associated with that transaction will be logged and stored in structured form in a traditional or cloud warehouse. The technology solutions developed to store, analyze, and transform this structured data into business insights and advantages have been tremendously successful over the past decade. The industry has a handle on structured data.

Often when you work at a technology company for long enough, you become so close to what you’re doing that you lose sight of whether other people actually understand what you’re building and how it works. This is often referred to as the ‘center of the universe’ problem. As a new member of the leadership team, I see the platform through a different lens, and in this post I’d like to roll back the conversation to the technical basics, or what makes Nasuni different and why.

I’m excited to announce that Pete Agresta has joined Nasuni as our first ever Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) joining an already incredible management team. As we kick off 2023, I’m humbled to lead a go-to-market team that continues to achieve extraordinary business milestones — recently passing the $100m ARR financial milestone – to the highest customer satisfaction ratings in the market – to amazing internal employee satisfaction survey results.
