From the CEO: Nasuni's Response to COVID-19

DELL EMC and Nasuni are Modernizing Unstructured Data Storage

Nasuni and Dell EMC ECS bring the scalability, flexibility and resilience of software-defined solutions to both traditional and next-generation file workloads.

Nasuni Makes Dell EMC ECS Suited for All File Storage Use Cases

Object storage can be the more scalable, cost-effective alternative to legacy file storage. But it needs a file system to exploit these advantages. The first global file system designed to scale inside object storage, Nasuni’s patented UniFS technology brings all the capabilities of traditional NAS, file server, and archiving technologies to Dell EMC ECS.

Object storage – Massively distributed with limitless scale.	Object storage – Massively distributed with limitless scale.
	Global File System - Files and metadata stored natively in object storage, familiar hierarchical directory/folder structure presented to apps and users.
	CIFS, NFS Protocol Support - Broad application compatibility; no need to rewrite apps and scripts to use object storage interface.
	Edge Appliances - High performance, cached access to active files in all locations.
	Active Directory and LDAP Integration - Leverage existing authentication policies for file access.
	Multi-Site File Synchronization – Synchronize file fragments as they change across all locations at high-speed without using or impacting private WAN bandwidth
	Global Volume Manager – Patented technology that allows coordination of file system changes on shared volumes across multiple locations.
	Nasuni Global File Lock^® – Patented technology enabling multi-site file collaboration without version conflict by allowing only one worldwide editor.
	Continuous File Versioning – Capture tiny fragments of files as they change and store unlimited version history for breakthrough RPO/RTO.
	Rapid Disaster Recovery – Restore fast access to files in any location that has a connection to the object storage – typically in less than 15 minutes – without a dedicated DR site.
	Centralized Management – Remotely manage caching appliances, volumes, protocols, shares, versioning, and recoveries – individually or as a collection - from a single interface
	Built-in Security – Encrypt files with customer-controlled AES encryption keys before storing files in object storage.
	Integrated File Auditing and Intrusion Detection – Leverage Varonis Data Security Platform to detect malware, privilege elevation, and more.
	Compression and De-duplication – Reduce amount of object storage capacity needed to store all enterprise files by an average of 60%.

Transformational Capability: Global File Synchronization

Nasuni and DELL EMC deliver a key digital transformation capability not available with traditional NAS and file servers – the ability to share files across any number of locations. The Nasuni platform uses DELL EMC as the one true source of all files, then keeps active files synchronized on edge appliances so everyone in every office is always working on the latest version. It’s like having one massive global file server.

Global Collaboration, Too

Nasuni with DELL EMC offers another digital transformation capability not found anywhere else – Nasuni Global File Lock^®.

Implemented as a scalable cloud service instead of tied to a single NAS controller or cluster, Nasuni’s patented Global File Lock ensures only one person in the world can edit a file at a time, helping minimize version conflict and productivity loss.
