Cloud data management that achieves cost efficiency with advanced data protection features
I am currently using Nasuni for seismic data. We have a huge data size, and we want to reduce costs. Nasuni acts as a caching solution, so we put some data into the cache, and the rest goes to the blob, which helps us save on costs. We use it for applications like Petrol and Tech Log, where 3D…

Veeam Backup for Google Cloud provides significant cost reduction with NETIO Cloud's offering. It serves as a reliable solution for backup and reporting capabilities about the health of the backups. Even though I am not utilizing all tools and options, it meets my comprehensive requirements and allows backup of emails as well, making it a versatile tool.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"With a shift to more remote work during this past year, we deployed a new instance of Nasuni in Azure, which allowed us to be more flexible and support remote work better, something we wouldn't have been able to do with legacy file storage."
"We have absolutely seen an ROI, and we are super happy with our ROI."
"The feature I have found to be most valuable is the revision control of the files. If somebody deletes or accidentally makes a wrong change to files, we can go back to the revision history and restore the previous versions. That is a very good feature that we rely on."
"I like the unlimited snapshotting."
"My clients are happy with Nasuni because the transmission is seamless, and it consolidates all the existing file servers into one location. Also, Nasuni has no boundaries. It's infinitely expandable. They don't have to rely on the service provider for backup and restoration. It's self-serve."
"Snapshot backup is most valuable. It's quick and easy to use. It's controlled only by an administrator, which is very good. It takes 10 seconds to back up a spreadsheet of three or four megabytes."
"I can see who is logging in on files from all over the globe. For example, if a file is locked, maybe a user in Shanghai has locked files or something, I can see that from the Management Console, then unlock the file."
"Nasuni reduced our overall storage footprint at our sites by 70 to 80 percent."
"Dealing with cloud solutions is simple and removes many headaches from troubleshooting and implementing the solution."
"Veeam Backup for Google Cloud’s most valuable feature is data backup and replication."
"I find Veeam to be a good tool for backing up Office 365 and virtual machine environments."
"I recommend it to other companies due to its reliable solutions, significant cost reductions, and comprehensive functionality."
"The application backup is excellent, and using Veeam for backing up Kubernetes environments is a valuable tool."
"Veeam Backup for Google Cloud provides significant cost reduction with NETIO Cloud's offering."
 

Cons

"They could lower the cost, but it saves so much money when you go into it (by losing all the backup)."
"We forecasted that the data at my client's organization would grow by about ten percent annually, but we are migrating more data because we are bringing in some servers that had not previously been within the scope of our license. We expected it would take us two years to reach a specific amount of data, but we hit that mark in one year. The licensing cost skyrocketed, so we need to renegotiate. It puts us in a bind because we are reliant on Nasuni for our service strategy. We can't deny our customers, but we also struggle to pay for that."
"Customer support and response time on issues should be improved because their support can be hard to get in touch with and we have to wait for a long time to get a call back."
"The performance monitoring could be improved."
"The speed at which new files are created is something that could be improved. For example, if you create a new file in another country, I won't see it for between 10 and 15 minutes."
"Migration from existing systems, specifically StorSimple, could be improved, but that solution will be end-of-life by the end of the year. Also, the documentation could be more accessible."
"Nasuni recently implemented a health system for filers. However, it needs better visibility because it lacks data and an explanation, or reasoning as to why a particular filer may be unhealthy."
"One area that we've recently spoken to Nasuni about is single sign-on. Another is integrating Nasuni with Azure Active Directory. In our particular case, that would allow for third-party consultants to access our Azure Active Directory environment as opposed to coming to our on-premises environment."
"The licensing could be improved, particularly by providing a 'pay-as-you-go' option through Azure, AWS, or GCP portal itself."
"There could be a feature to take a snapshot for version backup."
"The licensing could be improved, particularly by providing a 'pay-as-you-go' option through Azure, AWS, or GCP portal itself."
"Some of the prerequisites for Veeam are challenging."
"I do not have notes for improvements."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They could lower the cost, but it saves so much money when you go into it (by losing all the backup)."
"The pricing is fair. It's an enterprise-level solution so it's not inexpensive... The cost is pretty stable year over year."
"With this solution, the license renewal is pretty swift. With the virtual appliance, you just need to take care of the OS versions and patches. In a way, we don't have to struggle much with renewals because the only thing that we need to take care of are the licenses. We renew it every three years. This aspect goes with infrastructural costs because it doesn't cost us too much to maintain the solution."
"The cost is based on the capacity, which is approximately $100 USD per terabyte."
"Nasuni pricing is average; it's not too high or too low."
"The cost of licensing is negotiated and billed annually per terabyte."
"There are cheaper forms of storage, but Nasuni is fairly priced for the functionality it offers. I can get basic file shares provisioned in Azure and pay for the storage and the CPU. The overall cost would be much less than Nasuni, but I would need to build the management console and encryption process, so it would cost a lot to develop that kind of functionality."
"It's cheaper than a lot of alternatives but it's not cheap."
"The solution is affordable."
