The cloud began life being considered an existential threat to all things IT. Over the years, though, business and IT have discovered key services that needed an evolutionary kick, which, much to everyone’s delight, the cloud provided. In this learning segment, you will be taken on a journey of discovery as you learn about ten services forever transformed by the cloud and how these transformations have helped accelerate the business.

In today’s world, data is everywhere, and users demand seamless access to their files no matter where they are and from any device. You need a solution that optimizes current infrastructure and enhances user productivity while being easy to manage. Nasuni Access Anywhere addresses your company’s’ file sharing and collaboration challenges by delivering a solution that provides high-performance file access to the end users without compromising security and control.

As more companies shift to the cloud, reliance on a traditional backup solution is no longer a sound strategy as they may require weeks to recover files and lack the scale needed to handle distributed attacks.  Join three cyber-security experts as they discuss the limitations of traditional backup when it comes to ransomware and how modern cloud solutions are stepping in to fill the gap when it comes to:  Rapid file restoration, multi-site restoration, training, testing and preparing for attacks,  predictable RPO’s and RTO’s that help your business manage risk, immutable file storage options other than tape.

Join this engaging three way conversation that discusses a technology approach to the remote-access-to-file-data problem in the context of a data explosion and hence need for low-cost cold data storage. Conversation to explain why an integrated technology approach is better and why. Discussion to specifically address:  How and why the NFS and CIFS file services protocols are inefficient when used for remote access by single users wanting to run applications such as VDI; How a separate presentation access layer of software can be integrated with the file services layer to combat the remote access inefficiencies. What interface functions are needed to integrate or bridge the two layers and why?; How and why a cloud-based file services layer remedies the disadvantages of central data center-based file storage systems. For example, they no longer need file lifecycle management (HSM) / storage management functionality to tier data off to cheap longer-term storage in the public cloud -because that functionality can be integrated into a cloud-based file services system.
