Nasuni’s lightweight virtual Edge Appliances running on-premises or in the cloud cache active files to ensure that users always have fast local access to their files from wherever they’re working.
Nasuni’s latest release, v9.5, emphasizes Nasuni’s core values of speed, simplicity, savings, and scale, includes further enhancements to their most recent innovation, Global File Acceleration (GFA). GFA is a highly available cloud service that speeds up multi-site file synchronization 5x, thanks to intelligent dynamic analysis of near real-time file activity to optimize the propagation of new files across Nasuni Edge Appliances globally. With GFA, new files can become available to all global users in just seconds. More than 50 major customers have already taken advantage of this latest innovation and are seeing dramatically faster file sync times to boost productivity.
In addition to enabling customers to collaborate more efficiently by sharing files quickly, Nasuni’s Rapid Ransomware Recovery enables customers to recover from ransomware attacks and other outages faster, too.

Nasuni enables customers to modernize their file infrastructure with a cloud-native approach. Nasuni is trusted by more than 600 of the largest organizations in 70 countries around the globe, including Meredith Corporation, Cushman & Wakefield, and Electronic Arts. Driven by continued demand from hybrid work models, protection from ransomware, and support for multiple cloud environments with simpler file access, as well as ever-increasing uptake of public cloud applications, Nasuni is achieving consistently high revenue growth. Leading organizations like British Petroleum and Western Digital trust Nasuni’s simplified and secure cloud file storage. UK and EMEA sales have increased more than 175% for the first nine months of 2021. Nasuni’s enterprise customers in the UK and Europe cover a host of different sectors, including: 1HQ, McLaren Construction, Ramboll, SAS International, SDL and TBWA.
Ramboll, a top architecture, engineering and consultancy firm with 16,000+ employees globally, selected Nasuni earlier this year to store, protect and manage file data across 300 remote offices. The result has been simplified IT, lower costs, greater company agility and better collaboration for large user bases.
Ramboll IT Project Manager, Morten Madsen, said: “We were pleasantly surprised by Nasuni’s ease-of-use and how the platform delivered the same file server experience as NetApp, but with a much smaller local disk footprint.”
Malcolm Brown, IT Operations Manager at Ithaca Energy, an oil and gas operator focused on North Sea production, said: "An important benefit for Ithaca Energy in deploying Nasuni is the future-proof approach it provides. We don't have to go through a refresh every three to five years or purchase large volumes of tapes. These benefits offered cost efficiencies that played a critical role in our selection of Nasuni.”
With Nasuni, the Field Museum in Chicago, a major public exhibit space and nonprofit scientific research institution, achieved a 60% reduction in infrastructure costs, as well as vastly improved data protection. “We have the peace of mind of knowing that we can recover data at any point, at any time, in a way that we couldn’t before,” said Rob Schertz, chief technology officer at The Field Museum.
