$24.6 Million in Annual Contract Value Bookings in 4Q20 for Nasuni

Nasuni Corporation, announced continued growth for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.

Driven by cloud adoption and the need for employees to access files working from anywhere, it recorded $24.6 million in annual contract value bookings in 4Q20 and software subscription revenue for 2020 grew 36% Y/Y.

Nasuni is changing the legacy on-premises NAS, file server and backup markets with a simple and low-cost cloud service. Data under management increased 70% across AWS, Azure and other cloud object storage, enabling customers to access and share tens of billions of files in more than 10,000 locations.

Legacy file infrastructure became more of a liability during the pandemic when workforces were unable to access file shares and IT administrators were no longer able to maintain or enhance on-premises hardware-based environments.

To be successful in the future, enterprises must ensure reliable access to data without relying on in-person operations, which is increasing demand for cloud alternatives that provide streamlined data access. As a result of these growing needs, Nasuni achieved an average dollar-based net retention rate greater than 115% and a gross ARR retention rate above 95% for the fourth consecutive year.

Additional highlights of achievements in 2020 include:

New funding: Announced $40 million in new funding, bringing the company’s total funding to $169 million since inception. The equity round featured a mix of new and existing investors, with prior investors Goldman Sachs, Telstra Ventures, Northbridge Venture Partners and others all participating.
