Nasuni File Data Platform for Microsoft Azure
The unstructured data foundation for enterprise teams and AI, powering the operational file layer where work happens. One global file system, governed, protected, and AI-ready by design.
A unified foundation for unstructured data
Nasuni scales Azure file data and workloads without adding complexity, and accelerates AI adoption with context-rich data. It’s available in Azure Marketplace with 100% MACC-eligible spend.
Manage
Stabilize file operations without hardware refresh cycles. Unlimited, elastic capacity on Azure Blob Storage through one global file system and one console, replacing fragmented NAS, file servers, and backup.
- Unlimited, elastic storage on Azure Blob
- Global file system built on UniFS®
- 98% edge cache hit rates
- Millions of file changes synced every hour
Protect
Continuous File Versioning® captures immutable snapshots every minute with no retention limits. Edge ransomware detection stops attacks quickly, and customer-held keys keep your data sovereign.
- Immutable snapshots, unlimited versions
- Ransomware detection and recovery at every edge
- 15-minute DR for impacted file shares
- AES-256 with customer-managed keys
Activate
Put file data to work for AI without building new infrastructure. Permissions, governance, and global access are built in at the platform level, not bolted on.
- Governed, AI-ready file data
- Microsoft Copilot via Graph Connector
- VPN-free collaboration with Resilio
- Growth into Azure AI and Sentinel
Purpose-built for industries that depend on file data
Explore how Nasuni and Azure address unique file data challenges.
The operational file layer for modern AEC teams
Revit, BIM 360, and AutoCAD produce large files that represent a firm’s IP. Nasuni replaces NAS and file servers with built-in storage, backup, ransomware protection, and fast multi-office access, and lets acquired firms join one global file system on day one.
The operational file layer for modern energy operations
Seismic, CAD, and operational data lives in remote, distributed environments. Nasuni unifies it in durable Azure Blob Storage at a fraction of traditional infrastructure cost, with edge caching for offshore rigs and joint ventures, while preserving sovereignty and compliance.
The unstructured data platform for modern manufacturing
Distributed teams, suppliers, and plants share PLM and CAD files while ransomware targets the sector. Nasuni replaces legacy NAS, backup, and replication with one cloud-native file system on Azure, Amazon S3, or Google Cloud, with no lock-in.
The file data platform for creative production at scale
Video, audio, VFX, and animation files move between studios, editors, and freelancers. Nasuni gives them one global file system on Azure, with no performance bottlenecks, built-in ransomware protection, and storage that never runs out.
The file data foundation for knowledge-intensive firms
Consulting, legal, and financial firms need fast, secure access to sensitive documents across offices. Nasuni consolidates that infrastructure on Azure, with no VPNs, plus compliance, ransomware protection, and unlimited versioning for audit-ready client data.
