Today, Nasuni Corporation announced
increased demand for the Nasuni File Data Platform from the global AEC
(architecture, engineering, construction) industry.
Since 2021, Nasuni has grown its AEC customer base helping more
than 190 customers in over 4,300 locations (27 countries worldwide) to enhance
data management, adopt next-level building information modeling (BIM) tools,
and facilitate complex collaborations using global file shares.
David Grant, President of
Nasuni commented: "The AEC industry's entire business is dependent on file data
and is in the midst of seismic change, with more digital solutions across
entire value chains, and innovative data use cases like digital twins, design
automation, BIM products, and trialing artificial intelligence (AI)-based
knowledge management to remain competitive and take operations to the next
level."
Nasuni is enabling its AEC customers to speed up their digital
transformation by modernizing their file storage and protection infrastructure;
this ultimately makes data more accessible from the cloud, while providing more
effective data protection and unparalleled ransomware recovery capabilities.
The Nasuni File Data Platform
integrates and supports applications like Adobe InDesign, Autodesk Revit,
Dassault CATIA CAD, Siemens Teamcenter, and Windows® File Copy.
Research in 2022 indicates that the construction industry is,
alongside the education sector, the most likely target of ransomware attacks,
making data protection and the ability to instantly recover from attacks without
tying up internal resources imperative to maintaining competitive business
operations. "The Nasuni-Azure snapshotting approach just works," said Joe
Marando, CIO at global architecture firm, JERDE. "If
ransomware hits, you just go back and restore your data from right before the
attack, and you get your data back. I love the file recovery functionality with
Nasuni."
Ramboll, a leading AEC firm founded
in Denmark, with 16,500 employees in 35 countries and 300 remote offices,
partners with clients to create the infrastructure behind sustainable
societies. The company was relying on physical and virtual storage systems, backed
by NetApp SnapMirror, at many of its global offices. The challenge of
maintaining this worldwide infrastructure was significant, yet Nasuni
successfully replaced their existing infrastructure with ease.
"We would have to do multiple
updates on a weekly basis," recalls IT Project Manager, Morten Madsen of
Ramboll. "[the current system] was not a scalable solution for a company of our
size." Madsen selected the Nasuni File Data Platform to address the company's
storage, backup, and management problems and today, Ramboll trusts more than 3
petabytes (PB) of global file data to be stored, protected, and managed by
Nasuni.
APi Group, JERDE, Kimley-Horn, McLaren,Perkins+Will, Ramboll, SMEC (Snowy Mountains Engineering Corporation), Voessing, and the Walsh Group have also selected Nasuni to modernize their
legacy file infrastructure, gain more value from IT investments, and recover
from cyberattacks like ransomware in minutes.
