Production rollout of cloud storage

thought I’d share some updated info on how things are going with our production Nasuni rollout:

We’ve pushed ~700 gb of data to the new server, 5 mission critical shares including our IT share (source code, documentation, etc), accounting, sales, users and our entire production share for the commercial division.   I’ve also created a 2nd volume as a backups target where we’ve pointed our Acronis backup image to and will migrate existing backup jobs to over time.

The result thus far regarding the compression and d-dupe ratio is just under 35% savings:

The HardTRUTH in BLACK and WHITE

Running out of File Storage Again?
Someone just dumped 20GB of photos and music on your CADD Share?
Have to move things around before you can work on that next project?
Backups take too long?
Those 1-TB USB drives are too slow and unreliable?
The RFP asks about ‘Disaster Recovery’?
Your auditors and insurance query you about your ‘business continuity’?
A co-location site is too expensive?
Your clients called about their data during the flood?
You need something easy, pay as you go and works with your existing environment?
