With over 15,000 edge locations deployed globally, and hundreds of petabytes under management, Nasuni is a well-established player in the hybrid cloud storage market. Its unified file data platform offers a powerful combination of capabilities—including a resilient global file system, intelligent edge caching, ransomware protection, and data intelligence—to help organizations securely and efficiently manage and modernize their growing unstructured data environments.

Acknowledging the growing challenges faced by organizations around understanding their data at a deeper level, Nasuni has made the ‘data intelligence’ portion of its technology stack a key focus area. It recently doubled down on this with the release of two new capabilities designed to provide customers with critical insights and a deeper understanding across their entire Nasuni environment.

The first concerns File IQ, which tracks file metadata to help organizations understand usage, user behavior, access patterns, and file system event activity. This insight can be used in a range of ways, such as better managing storage costs, better tracking and predicting growth, or identifying abnormal activity. A new Premium edition of File IQ adds substantial new capabilities to the free basic version, including over 20 pre-built dashboards, proactive alerting, automated reporting, and granular chargeback capabilities.

The second is a brand-new capability, Ops IQ, that is more focused on providing more detailed management and optimization of the Nasuni environment itself. Ops IQ offers two core dashboards; an appliance dashboard offers insights into the health of the Nasuni appliance environment—CPU utilization, memory usage, disk performance, etc.—to help IT teams avoid performance bottlenecks, identify under-provisioned appliances and redistribute workloads to optimize efficiency. A volume dashboard provides visibility into data protection and related trends—such as capacity consumption, protection frequency, snapshot timelines and data propagation.
