A Radical New Approach to Enterprise File Storage with Google Cloud & Nasuni
Moving servers and applications to the cloud has been the focus of infrastructure modernization efforts for the past several years. But now companies large and small are looking for ways to leverage the benefits of the cloud for file storage. However, due to the inherent complexity, cost, and latency challenges, these file storage workloads are often one of the last pieces of the infrastructure modernization puzzle. Now, file storage is primed for cloud disruption with Google and Nasuni tackling these issues with a much simpler solution that also cuts costs by up to 70%.
Register to watch Andrew Smith, Research Manager, Cloud Infrastructure Services at IDC, and Bobby Silva, Global Director of Google Alliances, of Nasuni discuss current trends in enterprise cloud storage, challenges organizations struggle with around file storage, and how Google and Nasuni are bringing to market a modern, enterprise cloud file storage offering that pairs Google’s object storage economics with Nasuni’s cloud-native global file system.

Factors such as work from home and the exponential growth of unstructured data have largely made the traditional approach to enterprise file storage impractical. Organizations can overcome these and other obstacles while also driving down their costs by migrating Windows File Servers to Google cloud. In this webinar, you will learn:
- The reasons why hosting file data in on-premises Windows File Servers is far less practical than it once was
- What you should be looking for in a cloud-based file storage solution
- Why you should prioritize the migration of your file servers to Google cloud

When stay-at-home work orders came down, enterprise IT administrators were under immediate stress to make sure that the required IT resources – VDI, augmented security/data protection systems and cloud services – were all within immediate reach.
Enterprise IT’s response to COVID-19 demonstrates that VDI in the cloud is becoming the preferred environment for hosting an at-home workforce because it makes access to corporate desktops and apps available anywhere, anytime, through any device in a secure, centrally managed way. Resources are spun-up simply and immediately.
Leading IT industry analyst Evaluator Group believes that the ability to support cloud VDI at scale will become a permanent fixture of enterprise IT strategies. This webinar reviews the evolution of VDI from on-premises to cloud and notes the cost-efficiencies gained along the way. It also highlights the effectiveness of converging cloud-based file storage with cloud VDI to reduce IT cost, complexity, ... and stress.

In this webinar, we take a look at the 5 reasons why large enterprises need a multi-cloud file infrastructure. GDPR, data sovereignty, regional cloud strategies, and the need for global productivity are driving enterprises to think more broadly about where and how they store and share files. With these changing requirements, taking a multi-cloud approach to file storage is becoming an integral part of an organization's cloud-first initiative.
Tune in and learn:
- Why file solutions offered by object storage vendors are not meeting the challenge
- How GDPR is impacting the requirement for multi-cloud
- How moving to a multi-cloud solution can increase overall productivity

This webinar will explore the current market dynamics that are influencing storage infrastructure decisions specific to unstructured data. The impact of the COVID-19 on infrastructure buying patterns and plans for the future will shape a new normal. This session will address many questions including shifting market trends and how it changes organizations requirements and long term infrastructure strategies.
File-based workloads are at the heart of innovation and of collaborative workflows. Enterprises today store multiple petabytes of unstructured file data. They increasingly need to process that data in the cloud and to access and collaborate on that file data from many different locations.
As enterprises deploy these new workloads and expanded usage scenarios, many discover that their legacy filers no longer meet all of their requirements. Consequently, most enterprises now rely on multiple point solutions, each with its own management overhead. To address these challenges, enterprises are looking for a next-generation file infrastructure that:
• Eliminates silos of data
• Enables workloads to migrate to the cloud
• Meets the secure access and collaboration requirements of a distributed enterprise
This webinar compares Nasuni Cloud File Storage and NetApp Cloud File Services. It is based on DCIG’s recent research into enterprise file services and a DCIG Competitive Intelligence Report commissioned by Nasuni.
Join this webinar to gain insight into:
• New dimensions of file storage scalability
• Seven drivers for cloud file storage adoption
• NetApp Cloud Services strengths
• Nasuni Cloud File Storage strengths
• Questions that help identify the solution that best fits your requirements
The webinar will include a live Q&A session with DCIG and Nasuni professionals.

The technology to store, manage, and protect enterprise data has been around for two decades. Just as other technologies have migrated to the cloud supporting new paradigms of how people get work done, moving file infrastructure has been slow to catch on. In this session we’ll cover why that is, and how a new hybrid cloud approach radically simplifies IT by eliminating all backup and disaster recovery infrastructure and cuts costs in half. In this session we’ll discuss:
- Why traditional file infrastructure has outgrown its usefulness
- Why lifting-and-shifting these technologies to the cloud doesn’t work
- The real-life benefits of new cloud-era hybrid approach, shared by real customers

The evolution of ransomware has spurred many organizations to focus on plans for recovering from attacks as quickly and efficiently as possible. Companies have relied on traditional backup to restore access to recent versions of data without having to pay the ransom from cyber-attacks. As more companies shift to the cloud, reliance on a traditional backup solution is no longer a sound strategy as they may require weeks to recover files and lack the scale needed to handle distributed attacks.
Join three cyber-security experts as they discuss the limitations of traditional backup when it comes to ransomware and how modern cloud solutions are stepping in to fill the gap when it comes to:
· Rapid file restoration
· Multi-site restoration
· Training, testing and preparing for attacks
· Predictable RPO’s and RTO’s that help your business manage risk
· Immutable file storage options other than tape

Migrating an organization’s file data to the Azure cloud can address a number of pain points that are commonly associated with storing and managing large quantities of unstructured data. However, enterprise class organizations have traditionally shied away from performing large scale file server migrations to the cloud, citing concerns over logistics and latency.
Attend this presentation to:
• Learn about the major trends, ranging from Window’s Servers 2008’s end-of-life, to the need for remote file access, which are driving companies to migrate file data to the Microsoft Azure cloud now.
• Understand three different cloud migration solutions that can be implemented and how they differ with respect to architecture, salability and cost, and how the choice of Azure storage types significantly impacts the price you pay.
• Hear company examples of moving windows file servers to Azure Blob and Nasuni, their decision-making process and the results they achieved.
Unstructured file data is growing faster than ever before. The landscape of enterprise file storage is going through a period of rapid change. NAS and SAN are the acronyms of legacy hardware. Object storage is the future - but it needs a file system. Subscribe to the Nasuni channel to learn how UniFS® - the world's first Global File System - is enabling enterprises to take advantage of the cost savings and scale of object storage for files.
