Nasuni

Migrate Files to Nasuni

Nasuni serves as an SMB NAS file share that is hosted on-prem with an active cache available locally. However, all data is pushed out to a cloud storage backend such as AWS S3 or Azure Blob storage.

While it is viewed as a NAS file share, it has a sophisticated and advanced deduplication and compression file system to minimize storage and replication time.

GS RichCopy 360 Enterprise can detect Nasuni's cache free space during data migration. When the cache is full, the job pauses and waits until the Nasuni commits the copied data to the backend cloud storage. The job then resumes the copying automatically once the cache is freed up again.
