Nasuni Introduces Hardware Appliances to Access its Storage Services

New Option Gives Customers the Ability to Choose Between Physical and Virtual Appliances, Offering Ultimate Flexibility and Performance

NATICK, Mass. – August 11, 2011 – Nasuni^®, the leading provider of storage services, today introduced two new hardware appliance options to access its Data Protection Service. These hardware appliances are simple to deploy, operating as a plug-and-play device, and are pre-configured to deliver optimal performance for Nasuni’s services.

Nasuni’s storage services offer data protection, availability and support to organizations that require their data be accessible 100 percent of the time – with no risk of data loss. This all-in-one solution unifies primary data storage, data backup, and offsite disaster recovery with a 100 percent reliability guarantee that is supported by the storage industry’s most stringent service level agreement. Like the virtual appliance counterpart, Nasuni’s hardware appliances enable organizations to enjoy on-premise performance and control while reaping the benefits of the cloud for scalability and protection.

For the data center or enterprise headquarters, Nasuni is offering a hardware appliance with 6 TB of local capacity for $5,499, allowing strong on-premise control and support.  For remote locations, distributed offices or dynamic field offices like those in consulting or construction, which often lack full IT staff, Nasuni provides a lighter version with 3 TB of local capacity for $3,999. Organizations can use multiple appliances, hardware or virtual, to tailor a storage solution to their particular needs. Prospective customers can evaluate a fully functional virtual appliance at no cost. Once ready to deploy the system in production, customers can choose to remain in the virtual appliance or, without having to migrate data, use one of the new hardware appliances instead.  A free evaluation license is available by registering on Nasuni’s website.

“Our new hardware appliances give customers another option to access our storage services,” said Andres Rodriguez, CEO of Nasuni. “We continue on our mission to radically simplify storage. The new appliances come preconfigured, with all the horsepower required to ensure optimal performance. Our services allow customers to switch between virtual and physical appliances easily and without any risk to their data.”
