Twas’ the Night of the Rapid Recovery
December 16, 2021 | Andres Rodriguez
‘Twas the night before Christmas,
and all over the globe,
all their files were protected –
or so they were told.
I.T. leaders were sleeping
all snug in their beds,
while visions of budgets
danced in their heads.
When what on their laptop
screens should appear,
but a ransomware warning.
Oh my goodness, my dear!
All their files were encrypted
every user locked out.
If this were a ballgame,
it would be a rout.
Tim rushed to Linkedin
to refresh his CV,
but Kim calmly began
the rapid recovery.
They had a cloud-based solution,
an ace up their sleeves.
With Nasuni cloud storage,
they’d roll back with ease.
Millions of files were
restored in a flash,
with no need to pay
any bitcoin or cash.
As Kim shut down her laptop
and logged herself out,
she heard Nasuni’s founder,
in a loud, charming shout,
declare for all users,
and executives, too,
“Sleep well with Nasuni,
happy storage to you!”
This has been an exciting year for Nasuni on several fronts. We’ve signed on some of the largest companies in the world as new customers. Our existing customers are expanding their use of the platform. The investment community has given us another huge vote of confidence, our rapid ransomware recovery capabilities are pulling in unprecedented business, and our engineering team continues adding new features to the platform. As the VP of Strategic Alliances, though, I’m particularly excited about how our partnerships with some of the top technology providers in the world continue to get stronger.
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.
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.
