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?

Top Threats to Cloud Computing, v.1.0
Top Threats to Cloud Computing, v.1.0
Public cloud computing risks are numerous enough to field a top 10 -- or even more. Professional organizations and CIOs are developing threat lists to help them come to grips with the public cloud, an entity that will continue to seep into the enterprise IT environment whether they like it or not.
Some lists of top public cloud computing risks are sweeping and philosophical, such as the Top Threats to Cloud Computing, v.1.0, developed by the Cloud Security Alliance. Most include some combination of the following items:

The Nasuni Filer is a drop-in replacement for Windows file servers, suitable for use in a medium-enterprise environment with anywhere from several hundred gigabytes of traditional file storage up to dozens of terabytes. The filer integrates well with Active Directory, provides shared resources to users in the traditional CIFS / Windows manner (mapped drivers, UNC names, etc.), and is highly secure at both the file level (with support for NTFS permissions), and at the cloud level with strong AES-256 security and tier one cloud storage providers. With built-in disaster recovery and restore features, the Nasuni filer also eases continuity concerns for primary file storage.

Affordable NAS DR in Minutes from the Cloud
Affordable NAS DR in Minutes from the Cloud:
"Cloud-based file services can offer some attractive benefits and features, but the recovery can still be a problem as the time or cost to replace a failed NAS system may be unacceptable. Cloud-based NAS systems that run as a virtual machine offer an alternative solution providing affordable NAS DR in a few minutes."

Technology News: Data Storage: Storage: The Achilles' Heel of Data Center Virtualization:
"Unstructured data is growing by 60 percent per year, according to industry analyst firm IDC, creating a need for vastly different storage economics. More than 20 percent of all compute workloads are now virtualized, creating a need for vastly different shared storage architectures, and the cloud is expected to account for 14 percent of all IT spending by 2014 -- creating a need for storage that works both on-premise and in the cloud."
