New tools simplify management, streamline core administrative tasks and orchestrate provisioning and reporting operations.
"In 2021, we saw enterprise IT leaders increasingly turn to the cloud to solve their challenges with explosive data growth and endless threats of ransomware attacks. Our continued growth validates the approach of a file data services platform being the key to managing cost and providing outstanding data protection via the cloud," said Paul Flanagan, CEO of Nasuni.
