Boston, March 14, 2024 (ots/PRNewswire) –The new solution extends Amazon S3-compatible storage to the network edge and delivers powerful application performance for AI and other data-driven processes
Nasuni, a leading hybrid cloud storage solution, announces Nasuni Edge for Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3), a cloud-native solution that enables enterprises to accelerate data access while maintaining low latency, through a single, unified platform. This is critical for edge workloads, including cloud-based artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) applications.
Amazon S3 is an object storage service from Amazon Web Services (AWS) that provides industry-leading scalability, data availability, security, and performance. Nasuni Edge for Amazon S3 supports petabyte-scale workloads and enables customers to run S3-compatible storage that supports select S3 APIs on AWS Outposts, AWS Local Zones, and customer on-premises environments. Nasuni’s unique cloud-native architecture is designed to improve performance and accelerate business processes. Instant file access is essential in various industries such as: Examples include manufacturing, real estate, engineering and construction, and healthcare and energy, where remote facilities with limited bandwidth generate large amounts of data that must be processed quickly and ingested into Amazon S3. Additionally, customers increasingly value a unified platform for accessing and protecting file and object data, enabling them to handle small and large projects with on-premise and cloud-centric workloads through a single offering.
“Nasuni Edge for Amazon S3 gives us the ability to seamlessly interact with Nasuni,” said Alex Serban, senior manager of site reliability and operations at Electronic Arts. “This approach to collaboration with Nasuni not only increases our operational efficiency, but also leads a standardized process. The potential of Nasuni Edge for Amazon S3 is reflected in its ability to increase performance and accelerate the distribution of software builds to teams around the globe. This improvement is critical to the delivery of our products for the global market.”
With the influx of large amounts of data, simplified storage is a priority for any business collecting and quickly processing data in 2024. Forrester Research predicts that 80 percent of new data pipelines in 2024 will be designed to ingest, process and store unstructured data. Nasuni Edge for Amazon S3 is designed specifically for IT professionals, infrastructure managers, IT architects and ITOps teams looking to improve application performance and data-driven workflow processes. The solution enables application developers to read and write using the Amazon S3 API in a global namespace secured by Amazon S3 from multiple endpoints in AWS Local Zones, AWS Outposts, and on-premises environments.
Nasuni Edge for Amazon S3 improves data access in the following ways:
Performance at the edge: Customers can now deploy Nasuni Edge for Amazon S3 wherever high performance with low latency is required, in AWS Local Zones, on AWS Outposts, or in self-managed on-premises environments. Local caching via Nasuni provides LAN-like performance to meet the expectations of application owners and users.
Multi-protocol read/write scenarios: Accessing data often requires protocols other than Amazon S3, typically Server Message Block (SMB) or Network File System (NFS). Nasuni offers multi-protocol flexibility that enables a wide range of application access.
File metadata support: Nasuni expands file management scenarios where classification and compliance are important by supporting a larger number of tags, the number of characters in tags, and the size of file metadata.
“Nasuni is a long-standing AWS partner, and our current collaboration provides an ideal solution for modernizing existing enterprise file infrastructures. “Nasuni Edge for Amazon S3 enables organizations to support traditional workloads and take advantage of modern Amazon S3-based applications,” said David Grant, President of Nasuni. “Nasuni Edge for Amazon S3 enables organizations to leverage unstructured data for cloud-based AI services to make it easily available.”
In addition to quick access to a single, globally accessible namespace, the ability to capture large amounts of data in a single location opens up new opportunities and potential for innovation and powerful insights through the integration of AI services. Nasuni’s multi-protocol support means these new data workloads are accessible from a variety of existing applications without the need to rewrite them.
