Since I started working with this platform have been performing effectively. It is compatible with our operating systems and the speed of data transfer is very reliable. The server integrates data from all our sources and enhances better planning and effective decision-making. Collaboration of our teams from remote areas is enhanced through updates on the progress of project implementation.

It is great for organizations that do not want to be limited to the size of their storage appliance. Since the hardware is used primarily as a cache, there is no cap of the amount of data. Anything beyond the cache size gets stored in the cloud, and Nasuni has advanced logic that ensures the most active data stays in cache, so performance is not impacted.

  • The management console is extremely simple and easy to navigate, making common tasks easy to do.
  • Our storage appliance is configured to snapshot data several times an hour, making the risk of data loss very low.
  • Data restores are very intuitive, and take seconds to initiate regardless of whether it is one file or 300GB of data. We have successfully restored many Gigs of data in minutes.

Usability

As I mentioned, the user interface is amazing and straight forward. It's very easy to learn how to configure and restore files. I would like a bit more reporting, especially in terms of live reporting and monitoring. The support is great when you have a question on how to do something, which helps with usability.

Performance
No answers on this topic
Again, it may have a little to do with the size and speed of your own environment, but we've been nothing but pleased with the speed of access of the files - even pulling old files from the cloud storage. Recovery of huge and many data files is a bit slow if you don't have the specs of the filer up to snuff.

The beauty here is that I basically had to mark 3 different services to get some of the benefits of just a single service. It brings the best of these 3 solutions with a ton of added capabilities around data management and how to consolidate the usage of many silos into a single place which makes it much easier to manage it, especially for the bigger enterprises.

I am not sure if we looked into any other cloud storage applications or software. But I do highly recommend Nasuni. If you have feedback, they actually listen. We even got to meet with the founder and he listened to a lot of our feedback. Whether or not they will implement and suggestions, having that listening ear is refreshing.
