Nasuni Acquires Resilio to Transform End-User File Access and Data Orchestration for Distributed Enterprise Teams

Nasuni Corp., an unstructured data management company, announced it has acquired Resilio, Inc, a player in high-performance file synchronization and edge acceleration technology.The acquisition strengthens Nasuni’s ability to help enterprises improve end-user file access by removing friction from how distributed teams access and collaborate on shared content. By combining Nasuni’s cloud-native file services with Resilio’s synchronization and caching technology, the unified platform will offer high-speed access to shared files across offices, remote sites, and hybrid work environments without relying on VPN-based access, disconnected point solutions, or costly hardware constraints.

The acquisition supports Nasuni’s strategy to help improve team productivity by making mission-critical global content accessible wherever work happens, while enabling IT teams to maintain centralized control, security, and governance as environments scale. In addition, the acquisition opens up new opportunities focused on high-speed data transfer and orchestration, including support for remote locations with limited bandwidth.

“We’re excited to welcome the Resilio team to Nasuni,” said Sam King, CEO, Nasuni. “Our customers already rely on Nasuni to manage, protect, and activate their enterprise file data on a global scale. With Resilio, we’re extending our platform to help improve enterprise productivity while continuing to simplify operations and protect IT environments.”

Resilio is known for its speed, resiliency, and flexibility to deliver high-performance file access even in bandwidth-constrained or remote environments. Its integration into the Nasuni File Data Platform is designed to reduce dependence on VPNs and standalone synchronization tools, while expanding support for a broader range of enterprise workloads.

“We’re proud of what the Resilio team has built, and joining Nasuni represents an exciting next step for our employees and customers,” said Eric Klinker, CEO, Resilio. “Together, we expect to help organizations collaborate more effectively on mission-critical content, regardless of location.”

“Resilio complements our strategy for the Nasuni File Data Platform, further strengthening our leadership in high-speed data access, distribution, and intelligent caching at the edge,” said Nick Burling, CPO, Nasuni. “By accelerating how distributed data is accessed and made available across environments, we’re helping customers more efficiently power AI and analytics initiatives – ensuring teams can securely leverage the right data, in the right place, at the right time to drive better insights and outcomes.”

With the acquisition complete, Nasuni and Resilio are focused on customer success while beginning a phased integration of teams, technology, and operations. Existing customers and partners can expect to continue to receive the same level of service and support.

As Nasuni continues to execute on its evolving platform strategy, the company plans to share additional updates in the coming weeks.

Comments

This acquisition initially surprised the market for several reasons. First, Nasuni had already reshuffled its management team following the mid-2024 exit valued at $1.2 billion involving Vista Equity Partners, TCV, and KKR. Second, the company appeared to have lost some momentum and market traction, while also suffering from limited visibility. Third, the move itself - pursuing an acquisition - was unexpected. A fourth element of surprise lies in the target: Resilio, a relatively discreet company, even though it is linked to the well-known BitTorrent technology that has become a de facto standard for data transfer.

It is also surprising that the entire previous management team has departed. Andres Rodriguez, the co-founder and former CTO, appears to be the only remaining figure from the founding leadership and previous executives team; he is now listed simply as founder and retains a seat on the board. Nasuni was founded in 2009 by Andres Rodriguez and Rob Mason following their tenure at Hitachi Data Systems - now Hitachi Vantara - after the sale of Archivas in 2007 for approximately $120 million.

However, it also represents a genuine opportunity for both companies to combine their technologies and capabilities and push further into distributed data environments. It remains to be seen how this strategy will unfold and what investors ultimately have in mind. Sam King, Nasuni’s new CEO, has already been involved in several notable transactions, including the sale of Veracode to CA Technologies in 2017, its subsequent transition to Broadcom, the private equity acquisition by Thoma Bravo, and the 2022 transaction in which TA Associates took majority control. In that sense, the situation somewhat echoes Vista’s investment approach.

Coldago Research published its latest Map 2025 for File Storage, in which both Nasuni and Resilio appear in the Cloud File Storage category, ranked respectively as Leader and Challenger.
