Cloud file storage vendor Nasuni picked up $25 million in funding today, bringing its total to $80.5 million. The vendor’s executives expect the latest funding to bring it to cash-flow positive status in 2018.
Nasuni was one of the original cloud gateway startups, launching its Nasuni Filer in 2010. Nasuni software caches active data on-premises and moves other files off to public clouds, mainly Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services and IBM Cloud Services.
Nasuni’s software uses the UniFS cloud-native file system. It ships on Dell servers or runs as a virtual appliance to provide an edge connector. Customers can then expand capacity without adding hardware by sending data to a public cloud.
