If your organization still has file data on StorSimple, you have a unique opportunity ahead of you. Effective December 31, 2022, Microsoft’s StorSimple service will reach end of life (EOL). Microsoft is being very transparent about what’s happening. Cloud management capabilities, customer support resources, repair services, replacement parts, software updates ­— all of it stops. More importantly, you’ll no longer have access to your live data and backups.

In two weeks Nasuni will be hosting Nasuni CloudBound22, our third annual event, and the timing really couldn't be any better. We’re constantly having conversations with IT leaders who’ve learned the hard way that managing and relying on aging, on-prem file storage and backup infrastructure is no longer a viable strategy. We tailored Nasuni CloudBound22 to help IT leaders figure out what to do next.  

If the energy industry teaches IT professionals one thing, it’s the importance of respecting the sanctity of data. Whether you devote internal resources to acquire seismic data or purchase it from another organization, this data is gold. Highly paid geoscientists and engineers need to be able to analyze it quickly and securely, wherever they might be in the world. If this data is lost, corrupted, or incomplete, these professionals can’t do their jobs, and the company loses money.

Here are 11 things I learned in migrating off StorSimple and to Microsoft Azure and Nasuni.

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.

At Nasuni, we’re not all sports geeks, but there’s always something to identify with at these events when you work at a company like ours. Take the Super Bowl. I’m not sure all of our employees followed every down, but I know they took pride in seeing one of our clients, Holologic, run a prime time Super Bowl ad. At Nasuni, when we watch these events, we don’t just follow the sports. We look at all the ways Nasuni customers are involved. This year’s March Madness is another great example.

As company momentum continues to grow out of our record-setting third quarter, I’m proud to announce that our Customer Success organization is keeping pace, winning the prestigious NorthFace ScoreBoard Award for 2021.

At the end of September, we hosted the second annual virtual conference dedicated solely to cloud file storage, Nasuni CloudBound2021, which was a huge success.

Last week, at BioIT World, I had a chance to discuss how a leading medical imaging provider is not only managing file data growth, but saving $1.3M annually with Nasuni cloud file storage.

Nasuni stores and synchronizes files across any number of locations at any scale. The heart of the Nasuni file services platform is its patented cloud native global file system, UniFS®.
