Cloud storage gateway provider Nasuni has launched a service, rather plainly called Data Protection, that guarantees 100 percent, all-day availability for any data its customers stores inside its partners’ clouds.
That sentence is not a printer’s error. There are not many guarantees anywhere, especially in the world of IT, but this is apparently one of them.
The US software company makes Nasuni Filer, which is a virtual NAS file server front end. The on-premise storage controller runs on VMware and links it through the Internet to a tested and approved cloud resource – namely, Amazon S3, Iron Mountain Digital, Nirvanex and Rackspace.
Thus, Nasuni, a small company without its own data centres, does not have to compete with all those big names; instead, it simplifies the process for its customers and feeds its storage business right to them.
As of July 18, Nasuni is guaranteeing a 24/7 availability service level agreement for access to all objects it stores in the cloud.
“The new service is backed by the most stringent service level agreement (SLA) ever offered in the storage industry: guaranteed 100 percent uptime,” Rodriguez told eWEEK.
“When it comes to storage as a service, customers demand 100 percent uptime and ironclad security,” he said. “That is exactly what we give them and the SLA formalises our commitment. Our confidence is based on extensive, long-term monitoring of every Nasuni Filer in the field as well as our internal supporting infrastructure. The new Data Protection Service continues our trajectory to simplify storage.”
The service includes the following, according to Rodriguez:
“Raw cloud storage lacks performance, security, and any sort of comprehensive account management, and is just as unusable to most businesses as is a commodity hard drive,” Rodriguez said.
“Nasuni is a new-generation storage vendor focused on harnessing the power of raw cloud storage and transforming it into solutions that give businesses the confidence that only a complete storage services network and a 100 percent SLA can provide.”
