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.

At one time, recovering from backup alone was the first step in addressing ransomware. Today, though, what used to be the front line in the battle is now considered the last bastion of a defense-in-depth strategy that relies on detection, prevention, and, ultimately, the ability to recover. During this discussion, Scott D. Lowe, CEO of ActualTech Media, will share with you key insights into each of these critical elements of a comprehensive ransomware readiness strategy and help you identify ways to increase your organization’s resiliency.

Battling Ransomware: How a Three-Pronged Approach Maximizes Protection

Join Rohana Meade, President, CEO, and Founding Partner of Synergy Technical and Anne Blanchard, Senior Director of Product Marketing for Nasuni as they take a closer look at the key IT trends that have emerged since the COVID-19 pandemic, the rise and rapid adoption of collaboration solutions – with a particular focus on Microsoft Teams and O365, and the challenges and opportunities around building a infrastructure that supports the access, security, and collaboration needs of today’s hybrid world.

Collaboration Challenges and Opportunities in a Hybrid World

TBWA is a unit of Omnicom Group, one of the world’s largest advertising agency holding companies. They are known as pirates – creative renegades who take risks and rewrite rules to come up with brave brand-building ideas for clients including Nissan, adidas, Henkel, Michelin and Gatorade. However, it’s hard to be creative when ideas cannot be easily shared. Files generated by TBWA’s creative teams are among the company’s most valuable assets. Storing, protecting, and sharing this creative content across the globe became a challenge as the agency grew to 305 offices in 98 countries. Join this fireside chat conversation with Don Pointing, global IT director for TBWA as he sits down with Jim Liddle, Nasuni vice president of product for a lively conversation around how Nasuni and the Nasuni Access Anywhere solution are enabling TBWA to reduce on-prem storage costs and improve collaboration across globally dispersed teams.

Advertising Leader Achieves Digital Transformation, Cost-Saving, & Hybrid Work

New digital innovations have pushed companies to reconsider their technology infrastructure, with many making the decision to utilize the cloud. As a result, cloud adoption is rampant: Gartner predicts that public cloud end-user spending would hit $495.7 billion this year, a growth of nearly $84 billion since 2021. Yet these cloud migrations can be complex and it’s not always a case of simply moving everything from one place to another. Instead, organizations must be strategic about how they approach their file storage — especially when choosing a cloud provider, such as Microsoft Azure.

Microsoft Azure is a great choice when selecting a solution for storing, protecting, and accessing files, but IT leaders are often confused trying to sort through the various similar-sounding options. Some companies want to migrate from on-premises NAS, while others have been using Windows file servers or other file storage infrastructure. Making an informed decision on which solution will work best is the only way to ensure that your files stay safe, secure and accessible — whichever location you choose. 

In this webinar from the file data platform company Nasuni, industry experts will map out the decision making options for migrating file storage to Microsoft Azure. Tune in to hear more about: 

— Why leading companies are moving to cloud file storage in Azure
— The differences between Azure Files, Azure NetApp Files, and Azure Blob with the Nasuni File Data Platform
— The key considerations when identifying the right Azure storage solution
— And much more

Running a file services infrastructure in a world where new ransomware attacks seem to be announced daily presents significant challenges. It is critical to ensure your file services can rapidly identify an attack so that you can respond quickly and effectively. In this webinar, we will take you through some of the important considerations to building a cyber resilient infrastructure. We will cover topics including incident detection, management, and mitigation. We will also demonstrate Nasuni’s Ransomware Protection capabilities and discuss how Nasuni will allow you to respond automatically to an attack, minimizing downtime and reducing the impact to your business.

Building a Cyber Resilient Infrastructure

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

5 Reasons Why Traditional Backup Doesn’t Work During a Ransomware Attack

In many organizations, core business processes rely on effective file-based collaboration. When a modern, distributed workforce uses legacy systems for file collaboration, the result can be end-user frustrations, increased costs, and notable risks.  As a help to organizations seeking better results, DCIG has published the 2021-22 DCIG TOP 5 Enterprise Multi-site File Collaboration Solutions report. In this report, DCIG recognizes Nasuni as a TOP 5 solution enabling effective file collaboration across the enterprise. In this session attendees will learn: 

- File collaboration challenges in the multi-site enterprise 
- SDS-based file collaboration benefits 
- Distinguishing features of DCIG TOP 5 solutions 
- Notable features that earned Nasuni recognition as a DCIG TOP 5 solution

3 Ways Nasuni Meets Enterprise File Collaboration Challenges

Cyber security is a high priority for many organizations, but they often find it difficult to make a business case for infrastructure investment in areas such as data protection and management. A different way to approach this is to think not just of risk management and technology, but to structure the investment case around business advantage as well. Namely, to switch the conversation from infrastructure to what’s good for the business and all its stakeholders.

Topics considered will include:

Is information an enterprise asset or is it confined to groups and departments?
What the business benefits could be if it were made securely available to more users?
It’s vital to move at the pace of the business and IT, not that of a vendor.
The importance of broadening file access in terms of business advantage, rather than IT.

Another Way to Think About the Business Case for Investment in Cyber Security

Enterprise storage has become a challenge for many sectors, but the stakes are particularly high for the oil and gas industry. Reliable access to the cloud is critical in order to maintain connection to oil rigs and construction sites around the world, but their remote locations add a layer of complexity. On top of that, the sensitive nature of industry data makes these companies vulnerable to ransomware attacks. The oil and gas sector needs the ability to store and share large seismic files on a global scale — while maintaining the sanctity of data — but this is easier said than done.

To combat this challenge both today and tomorrow, Nasuni has created the industry’s first Blueprint for Unstructured Data. This guidance is designed to help IT leaders meet their responsibility of putting data first. If something fatal happens to your company’s intellectual property, housed within years of file data, this could put your entire organization at risk. Companies can’t be expected to handle this new landscape without the right support; Nasuni’s Blueprint is created specifically to aid the oil and gas industry through this process.

In the latest webinar from Nasuni, storage security experts will break down why the oil and gas industry needs to be paying attention to file storage and illuminate the key components of the Blueprint.

Tune in to uncover:
— What it means for IT to be responsible for the Sanctity of Data
— Why traditional file infrastructure and backups are inadequate for oil & gas companies today
— The 5 critical elements of the Blueprint for Unstructured Data for IT leaders
