Nasuni is great. Really top notch for storage and recovery
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use this for the whole company. It is an incredible application for data storage and recovery.
It really helps in terms of stability and speed. We offload the majority of our data to the cloud and have a cache of local storage. Nasuni's algorithm determines the most accessed files and pulls those into the cache. Even from the cloud though, most users don't notice much latency.
We create snapshots every 5ish minutes, which makes recovery very quick.
Pros
- Support is amazing.
- Interface is user friendly and straightforward.
- Depending on how much cache you're willing to allocate, it's a super slick solution.
Cons
- Better analytics when issues arise.
- Better onboarding documentation.
- Real-time monitoring.
Likelihood to Recommend
Well suited if you have a lot of data that doesn't need to be stored and read right away. I think even if you don't have much data, you can still use it for it's intended purpose to great effect, but think of it as the more data you have, the even better it will work.
I don't think it would be particularly useful if you already have a slick file restore system in place and you don't need to store your data elsewhere with redundancy.
