Break Up With Your Backup

Engineering no longer happens in one building. Whether you are building software, hardware or widgets, Engineers and Designers in different locations need access to shared files to collaborate. Unfortunately, this data is growing at an astronomical rate making storing, protecting and providing access to it too costly and complex to sustain. Join this session to learn how Cloud NAS can change the game providing global access and collaboration while saving IT up to 65% on storage costs.

Traditional backup solutions are painfully complex, expensive and prone to failure at the worst possible time. Nasuni Cloud NAS integrates data protection into primary file storage, building a system that eliminates the need for separate backup. Join us to see how Nasuni can help you breakup with your backup and replace it with file storage that integrates data protection that is more cost-effective, easier to manage and far more reliable.

File storage is an ever growing costly, complex problem. Files sprawl is out of control forcing organizations to build storage environments with file servers or NAS, backup servers and media, disaster recovery sites, WAN optimization, replication, remote storage, and mobile solutions. Adding insult to injury, these solutions run out of capacity and need expensive upgrades and painful migrations.

Cloud NAS does away with all of this by providing local NAS controllers which cache active files from a cloud based file system. This maintains the same user experience and performance, adds collaboration and mobile access, while securely eliminating separate backup, DR and remote data access solutions. Learn how cloud enables file storage with unlimited scale that saves company’s 40-60% of their storage costs and eliminates refreshes and migrations forever.

The growth of unstructured data, especially files, continues unabated and strains enterprise infrastructure. The problem isn't just storage of growing data, but backing it up, making it available with high performance for users in distributed offices and mobile users, while also providing for disaster recovery. These challenges wreak havoc on staff and budgets.

Software defined storage can make file storage more flexible and responsive and allows management to focus more on the data and less on the underlying hardware. A new approach to NAS takes this one step further combining this concept with cloud storage, while still providing local access, performance and security.

Learn about this new generation of bottom-less, backup-less NAS that makes files accessible anywhere. Cloud NAS solves the challenges of file data storage, costs less to own and manage, and ends the cycle of NAS hardware refreshes forever

The connected device has made our lives more mobile, efficient, flexible and easier to manage. Connected devices and apps help us with everything from fitness to managing our schedules and make music tailored to our current whim accessible and easy to play anywhere. Connected devices for our home such as thermostats, alarms and home automation, make managing our energy use simple and allow us to manage appliances and doors remotely. In the event of a problem they alert us so we can act wherever we are. Finally, the advantages of the connected device are making their way into our IT world.

The limitations, complexity and fragility of traditional storage are now being supplanted by cloud connected storage. This new model for file (unstructured data) storage combines the scalability, durability, flexibility and mobility of a cloud service with performance and security of a local NAS system. Join us to learn how this new model can empower collaboration across distant locations while making IT's life easier by eliminating costly problems such as backup, DR, distribution and replication associated with the typical storage stack.

The connected device is quickly making our lives easier to manage, and more efficient, mobile and flexible. Connected devices and apps help us with everything from fitness to managing our schedules and make music tailored to our current whim accessible and easy to play anywhere. Connected devices for our home including thermostats, alarms and home automation make managing our energy use simple and allow us to check in on our home, manage appliances and even doors remotely. In the event of a problem they alert us so we can act wherever we are. The advantages of the connected device are finally making their way into our IT world. For example, connected network devices provide centralized management, visibility, and control without the cost and complexity of controller appliances or overlay management software.

The cloud has many appealing features, such as cost savings and infinite scale, but how do you protect your data and trust it in the hands of another company?

Nasuni hosted a live discussion featuring Sr. Analyst Henry Baltazar of Forrester Research and Mike Driscoll of The Walsh Group, a top 10 construction firm, to discuss best practices and strategies for moving and protecting data in the cloud.

Users have come to expect anytime, anywhere, any device access to their data. This means enterprise storage now requires much more than sufficient capacity and performance. It’s a complex stack that includes backup, replication, mobile access, WAN acceleration, sharing, collaboration, and more. As data grows, the problem gets infinitely worse. This is an unsustainable budget killer and a management nightmare. By redefining enterprise storage you can change the game and address these problems forever.

By attending this event you will learn:
• How a new generation of mobile and global users has redefined the critical requirements of enterprise storage systems.
• Key technology considerations when moving to a new generation of storage where cloud is at the core.
• Common data management pitfalls with traditional approaches versus newer consolidated, cloud-centric approaches.

David Shaw, contributor to the OpenPGP standard and Nasuni Core Engineer, talks about security and encryption as it relates to cloud storage.

“We encrypt your data using a customer-supplied key. And we at Nasuni don’t have that key, we don’t want access to your data, we don’t need access to your data to do what we do.”

Nasuni CEO, Andres Rodriguez, explains some of the basic principles behind cloud storage and what makes it such a powerful component when used inside a storage controller.

“In order to understand what we’re doing to the storage controller, it is really important to understand how cloud storage works.”

Most IT shops have already taken advantage of Machine Virtualization to consolidate server sprawl, reduce hardware costs, add flexibility and increase resilience. File Data Virtualization applies the same concept to separate file data storage from physical hardware and uses the cloud to offer the same advantages for file storage.

Attendees of this event will learn:
- File data virtualization – what it is and how it works
- How file data virtualization addresses file sprawl
- Global access and sharing for files with local performance
- Consolidation of file storage into one centrally managed system
- Automatic, built-in backup and disaster recovery

Few things are certain but death and data growth. Files get larger and there are more of them. There are also many more copies of identical files. In their quest to protect and improve access, IT organizations copy data to many different places. IDC estimates that over half of the capacity in primary storage systems is devoted to copy data. This estimate does not include additional copies held in backup and archive systems. It also does not include copies generated to satisfy recent demands from mobile users to access data from anywhere. The problem goes well beyond the cost of raw storage capacity. An unwieldy number of copies creates a data management nightmare as organizations struggle to maintain access control privileges and ensure that users see the right version of a data asset. This problem is significant, but a new trend has emerged to tackle it.

The industry is overcoming this challenge by consolidating all of the copies needed for protection and access into a single logical instance. The goal of this “data consolidation” is to reduce cost by eliminating needless copies while at the same time simplifying data management. The technology does for data what virtualization did for servers. It first abstracts the data away from the hardware so that it can fold all of the copies needed for protection and access into a single instance that can be more easily managed by IT.

Attendees of this event will learn:
•The benefits of consolidating data in their enterprise storage systems
•Key technology considerations when creating one authoritative copy of data across systems
•Common data management pitfalls with traditional approaches versus newer consolidated approaches
