A lot of in-house flacks are probably panicking right now
On-premises file storage array suppliers better not use Edelman PR, because it’s put its world-wide storage into Microsoft’s Azure cloud, front-ended by Nasuni gateways.
Here we are with an on-premises VMware Virtual SAN 6 and vSphere 6 VVOLs announcement frenzy going on. Edelman says “nuts”* to all that and has its users in 68 offices around the globe store and access their files in Redmond’s Azure cloud.
The doorway through which they pass is provided by Nasuni, which is crowing about it via a press release saying it has “displaced a very large, traditional storage firm at the world’s largest PR firm, Edelman Worldwide … Edelman is putting all of its file storage in the cloud (specifically Microsoft Azure) via the Nasuni Service.”
