Nasuni Corporation is a privately held hybrid cloud storage company [4] with headquarters in Boston, Massachusetts. [5]
Nasuni was founded in 2009, and has raised approximately $169M, with the last funding a $25M investment in which all previous investors participated, including Goldman Sachs, Telstra Ventures, and Northbridge Venture Partners. [6]
In the time since Nasuni requested a patent on UniFS in November 2013, the company has expanded its access to cloud storage infrastructure, as well as its on-premises edge appliance offerings, which provide local access to content stored in Nasuni-managed cloud storage. [7]
On 14 July 2020, Nasuni Corp. collected $25 million in a new round of funding, plus an additional $15 million debt facility, and upgraded its cloud file storage platform to support remote workers. [8]
In May 2022, Nasuni acquired the technology assets of DBM Cloud Systems in order to provide enhanced data migration and cloud portability features. [9]
In June of 2022, Nasuni acquired Storage Made Easy, a file data management company, for an undisclosed sum. [10]
In July 2024, Nasuni announced a strategic growth investment led by Vista Equity Partners, a global investment firm focused exclusively on enterprise software, data, and technology-enabled businesses. Vista was joined by TCV and KKR in the new investment, which valued Nasuni at approximately $1.2 billion. [11]
In April 2025, Sam King became CEO. Former CEO Paul Flanagan continues as a member of the Board of Directors.
The firm's storage software uses object storage, [12] file caching appliances, and the company's proprietary UniFS global file system [13] to offer a cloud solution that replaces traditional file servers and Network Attached Storage (NAS). Nasuni integrates with public cloud storage platforms, such as Google Cloud Storage, [14] Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft Azure, [15] and private cloud storage platforms such as IBM Cloud Object Storage and EMC Elastic Cloud Storage (ECS). [16] Such storage platforms provide an object-based storage infrastructure, on top of which UniFS creates a complete versioned file system. [17] The Nasuni platform stores customer data as a sequence of snapshots that include every version of every file. The firm has demonstrated the ability to store more than one billion objects in a single storage volume. [18]
Nasuni Edge Appliances run in the public cloud or on-premises to provide shared access to cached copies of active files. These Appliances are typically deployed as virtual machines, running on existing infrastructure, including VMware, Nutanix hyper-converged infrastructure, and Microsoft Hyper-V. The Edge Appliances can also run in the cloud on Microsoft Azure, Amazon EC2, or Google Cloud Platform. Hardware appliance choices offered by Nasuni include systems with solid-state drives. [19]
Nasuni’s File Data Platform provides a variety of services, including the following:
Nasuni holds a number of patents for technologies that support the Nasuni enterprise file services platform, including:
Nasuni has earned several awards for technology and customer service, including the following:
The company name "NASUNI" is shorthand for Andres Rodriguez's original idea for the company: "NAS UNIfied". [40]
