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.

Strategies and Technological Approaches for Addressing the Remote Access to File Data Problem, Data Explosion, and Why You Need an Integrated Technology Approach

Join this engaging three way conversation that discusses a technology approach to the remote-access-to-file-data problem in the context of a data explosion and hence need for low-cost cold data storage. Conversation to explain why an integrated technology approach is better and why. Discussion to specifically address:

How and why the NFS and CIFS file services protocols are inefficient when used for remote access by single users wanting to run applications such as VDI.

How a separate presentation access layer of software can be integrated with the file services layer to combat the remote access inefficiencies. What interface functions are needed to integrate or bridge the two layers and why?

How and why a cloud-based file services layer remedies the disadvantages of central data center-based file storage systems. For example, they no longer need file lifecycle management (HSM) / storage management functionality to tier data off to cheap longer-term storage in the public cloud -because that functionality can be integrated into a cloud-based file services system.

Why You Need an Integrated Technology Approach:  Remote Access to File Data

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

Meet the Challenges of Today’s Remote and Hybrid Work Environment

The cloud began life being considered an existential threat to all things IT. Over the years, though, business and IT have discovered key services that needed an evolutionary kick, which, much to everyone’s delight, the cloud provided. In this learning segment, you will be taken on a journey of discovery as you learn about ten services forever transformed by the cloud and how these transformations have helped accelerate the business.

10 Things Permanently Evolved Thanks to the Cloud

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.

This fireside chat provides a behind-the-scenes look at how the Arsenal Football Club is leveraging a cloud solution to create a single namespace interface, collaborate on media assets regardless of where they are stored, and improve overall workflows, all while maintaining a high level of confidence that critical security and access measures are not compromised.

Fireside chat with Arsenal Football Club: Winning with the Cloud

We live in the era of distributed data and operations. Remote work has become the norm. Application and data environments commonly span multi-cloud ecosystems. In this discussion, Scott Sinclair, practice director from ESG, will share recent research on the how distributed data and operations are impacting businesses. And, how decision makers can position their organizations for success as environments become even more distributed moving forward.

Challenges of Remote and Hybrid Work

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

With enterprises going to such great lengths to protect themselves against data loss, how does ransomware continue be such as an ever-present cyber security issue?  The reality is that ransomware continues to pose a major and costly threat to businesses, and misinformation only compounds the problem.  With so many bad practices going around about ransomware and how to ensure that your data is protected, organizations are struggling more than ever on developing solid defense and recovery plans. Join Nasuni's Mike Pacheco and Microsoft's James Eckart in this panel discussion with guest, Brien Posey 20X Microsoft MVP, Author & Commercial Astronaut Candidate to hear about their perspectives on ransomware protection in the cloud, and how a successful strategy minimizes downtime with the ability quickly restore productivity without having to pay attackers.  Topics Covered: -Today’s Ransomware Threatscape -Common Myths about Ransomware -Why Your Current Backups may not be Enough -To Pay or not to Pay the Ransom -Recovering from Attacks

Accelerating the Fight Against Ransomware with the Cloud

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
