Nasuni Introduces Cloud Mirroring

Nasuni
Corp. announced the availability of Cloud
Mirroring.

This feature is designed to provide
customers a higher level of availability and redundancy. It delivers
data protection in the cloud stronger than any other cloud storage
provider or cloud-integrated storage solution can offer.

The company provides a unified storage
service via on-premise hardware that looks and feels like a
traditional storage controller, but gains the advantages of the cloud
by incorporating cloud storage in the same way that a traditional
storage array uses commodity disk drives. Users’ data resides in a
primary cloud, while a copy of their data resides on a secondary
cloud, and the entire process is managed by the service behind the
scenes. The management of the entire cloud-based storage enables
synchronization of customer data between clouds without any
additional data management work for the customer. Cloud Mirroring
allows customers to focus on managing their data while Nasuni manages
the back-end.

"Customers have made it clear
that there’s no such thing as too much data protection when it comes
to cloud storage," said Andres Rodriguez, CEO, Nasuni. "In
true Nasuni fashion, we wanted to be the first to give the enterprise Cloud Mirroring functionality that’s simple to use and adds no
additional bandwidth demand. All of our customers are still covered
by our SLA, but for those who want to go the extra mile to protect
their data, only Nasuni offers Cloud Mirroring."

While customers have never experienced
a service outage, the redundancy will provide peace of mind to
customers. In the rare event that the primary cloud goes down or
loses data, the secondary cloud will provide complete protection, and
all without allocating additional bandwidth or executing additional
transfers.

"Our CAD drawings are critical
to our business. Any disruption in access or corruption of those
files would do immeasurable harm," said Mike Driscoll,
infrastructure architect, The
Walsh Group. "Cloud providers have proven themselves
worthy when it comes to reliability, but we value the redundancy of a
second cloud when data is this critical. Between Nasuni’s SLA and Cloud Mirroring, we can rest easy at night knowing our data, the
lifeblood of our business, is safe and always available. This example
of innovative solutions to address customer problems is a primary
reason we chose to partner with Nasuni for our storage needs."

"Protecting cloud-based data –
both to extremes and yet with ease – is one of the main barriers
users cite to adopting, or extending their use of, cloud storage
services," stated Mark Peters, senior analyst, Enterprise
Strategy Group."Nasuni’s innovative Cloud Mirroring
capability is seamless to use, and should help allay such concerns.
Not only is it a feature that helps Nasuni differentiate its service,
but it is also testimony to the growing maturity of storage solutions
that integrate the cloud."
