On-Demand Panel: Storage Wars: Object vs. File vs. Block

Research firm IDC projects that by the end of 2020, the world will generate 44 zettabytes (44 trillion gigabytes) of data per year. Data storage, therefore, is no longer simple, and in the age of cloud maturity and digital transformation, storage infrastructure strategies are shifting.

With object stores having a very different set of characteristics than file and block storage, it can be confusing to know which is the right strategy that will keep up with an expanding digital universe.

Watch this panel of object, file, and block storage experts as they discuss:

ISMG Podcast: Ransomware Recovery in the 'New Normal'

The 'new normal' of today's remote workforce is ramping up concerns about ransomware and other threats. Does your organization have the backup policies and incident recovery procedures in place to recover?

In this podcast, David Shaw, chief science officer at Nasuni and expert on the security of file systems, and John Bilotti, chief information officer at Nasuni discuss:

Ransomware recovery challenges

How to Transform Your COVID-19 Response into Lasting Infrastructure Change

In the midst of this massive disruption, our customers have been posting about how moving their files to the cloud with Nasuni has enabled a "Work From Anywhere" model of doing business, without spending an additional dollar.

With this in mind, there are a few points about our cloud approach worth highlighting as well as five reasons Nasuni is delivering something different on the business continuity and disaster recovery front.

Ensuring Your Unstructured Data is AI Ready

The days of on-premises analysis of big data — especially big unstructured data — are rapidly coming to a close. Only the cloud possesses the scale and ubiquitous access required. The challenge is getting such a large amount of data into the cloud and then mitigating the cost and complexity of managing it. With the rise of hybrid cloud file services, enterprise IT not only simplifies file data management, but also ensures this valuable data is ready for AI and other analytics.

In this article, Russ Kennedy, chief product officer at Nasuni, outlines how to get your unstructured data ready for AI.

Cloud Computing: Pandemic Accelerating Digital Transformation

Millions of students and employees have been sent home to work. The connection between these at-home workers and their organizations is increasingly being facilitated by the cloud.

Andres Rodriguez, CTO and co-founder of Nasuni, said that "I don't think any of us anticipated this situation, where the infrastructure is intact, but physically inaccessible because everyone is isolating themselves at home. I think that what it has taught us is that the physical network is a serious liability. IT teams can't access their own data centers, yet they still have to provide services to thousands of people around the world."
