the IT team at Meredith was looking to modernize its data center, it turned to Nasuni for enterprise file infrastructure along with Nutanix and Rubrik. 29 offices and 40 magazine groups
infrastructure is primarily deployed on premises, but that number will drop to a mere 28% within three years, leaving a whopping 72% of respondents predominantly using public cloud services. By 2025, 99% of all files will be stored in cloud environments. Employees will create, collaborate on and store files from any device, without knowing if the files are stored locally or in the cloud. ‘IDC Lowers Forecast for Worldwide IT Spending to a Decline of 5.1% in 2020, but Cloud Spending Remains Relatively Resilient’. May 2020 ‘Why cloud block storage deployments are on the rise’. Sept 2019 ‘How to Escape Network and Local File Storage’ 7 January 2020 "Where there is growth, most of it is in the cloud". "Overall software spending is now expected to decline. On the other hand, the amount of data that companies must store and manage is not going anywhere. Increasingly, even more of that data will be stored, managed, and increasingly also analysed in the cloud."

2019 Confidential Company Confidential How to achieve ABSOLUT brand dominance “We’ve replaced the traditional file server. Switching to Nasuni also allowed us to replace the need for operating systems – as well as the need of licenses for traditional backup – and lower infrastructure costs at all our affiliates to a minimum.” -- Holger Marks Infrastructure Manager Western Europe 55 locations. Recovery times down to minutes. One cloud file services solution.
2019 Confidential Unleashing creative talent to better serve clients “Given our multi-petabyte requirements, the scalability of Nasuni’s cloud-native file system was a major factor in our selection process. Other solutions we looked at were controller-based, and thus constrained by hardware limits. We needed a solution that would scale with our underlying private cloud storage, while still giving every office high-speed access to files. Nasuni has worked as advertised.” -- Adam Sharp, CIO 100 locations. One cloud file services solution.
to working remote by allowing easy access to the data consolidated from all 22 of our offices. We’re accessing the data in a variety of methods, including directly from workstations, using remote controls tools and VDI depending on the specific application. No matter which tool we use for the job, Nasuni gives us a common backplane for easy data storage and retrieval.” - Charles Douglass, Director of IT McKim & Creed "Nasuni has an overall great product. Unbeknownst to our team, it helped thwart a Ransomware attack. Their customer support is responsive. File restores are easy. The flexibility the solution provides should a hardware problem arises, allows for a quicker turnaround time for our end-user's ability to access data. They have streamlined their version update process so that it is more efficient and less interruptive." - Sr. IT Infrastructure Engineer Firm Size: 3B - 10B USD Source: Gartner Peer Insights
