Panzura vs. Nasuni
We're built different. That's why Panzura CloudFS is 98.3% faster, 128% more efficient, and keeps your data secure in ways that Nasuni can't.
You could make your users wait for files to sync, spend more on storage, risk losing more data, and slow down even more as you scale. Or, you could check out CloudFS — the choice is yours 😊
| Panzura | Nasuni | |
| Speed | Panzura CloudFS instantly syncs file changes everywhere. We're so fast, users can edit the same file at the same time, without overwriting each other. | Nasuni File Data Platform makes users wait for 1-5 minutes, multiplied by the number of locations for files to eventually sync. The more locations, the longer the wait. |
| Resilience | CloudFS makes data immutable and provides immutable global restore points, for a 60-second global recovery point objective. Snapshots can be configured and retained as you like. | File Data Platform offers restore points of 1-5 minutes per volume, not per file system, which means more data loss. Frequent snapshots impact file operations, so you have to choose between risk and performance. |
| Protection | CloudFS scans for ransomware in real time and shuts it off at the least-disruptive user level. | File Data Platform is slower to detect ransomware and shuts off ransomware at the location level, disrupting all connected users. |
| Security | CloudFS is FIPS 140-3 certified for military-grade encryption of data at rest and in flight. | File Data Platform has cloud dependencies, so does not hold this stringent level of certification. |
| Optimization | CloudFS moves the smallest possible amount of data over the shortest possible distance. All locations can achieve immediate peer-to-peer data exchange. | File Data Platform moves larger amounts of data from the edge into the cloud. Locations can only exchange data via the cloud store, which means delays. |
