Scale File Data in the Cloud with Microsoft Azure and Nasuni

Gold Microsoft Partner

As a Gold Level Partner and winner of Microsoft’s Global Azure ISV Partner of the Year award, Nasuni is the best choice for enterprises that want to leverage Azure to store, protect, share, and collaborate on rapidly growing file data.

Unlike other solutions in the Microsoft file storage portfolio, Nasuni leverages Azure Blob object storage to offer file shares that are accessible in the cloud or on-premises via industry-standard SMB and NFS protocols.

The combination of Azure Blob and Nasuni enables you to modernize your Windows file server and NAS workloads at lower cost and with greater scalability and administrative simplicity than Microsoft’s Azure-only offerings, while also providing superior ransomware protection for your file data.

 

Nasuni Counts Against Your Azure Commitment

If you have a Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment, Nasuni can help you draw it down. The cost of the Azure Blob object storage that you use with Nasuni, the cost of any Nasuni Edge VMs that you deploy to cache file shares in Azure regions, and the cost of Nasuni itself – as long as it’s purchased through Azure Marketplace – all count 100% against your Azure commitment.

 

Choose the Right Microsoft Azure Solution for Storing Files

Many IT leaders are often confused sorting through the various similar-sounding options for storing files in Azure. If you’re ready to migrate from on-premises NAS, Windows file servers, StorSimple, or any other legacy file storage infrastructure, we’ve created this guide for you.

Nasuni and Azure Blob are available through Microsoft Azure Marketplace:

“Nasuni and Azure is a simple, flexible and dynamic solution for file share service.”

Muralidhar Jayaramgowda, Senior IT Technical Support Engineer, SDL

“With traditional backup, if a file is lost or crashed or destroyed by a user we could only go back in time to the last night. Now we can go back one hour. We can beat the 24-hour recovery and get it down to half an hour or a max of one hour without any user impact.”

Holger Marks, Infrastructure Manager, Western Europe

“Using Nasuni with Azure has been a great combination.  We have been extremely pleased with the ease of using blob storage in Azure to be our main location for all of our Nasuni data.  It was very good how Nasuni fit in with our existing Azure infrastructure.  There was no need to create anything new.”
