Comparing Panzura to Nasuni

When IT leaders are planning storage infrastructure modernization projects, including moving storage and workloads to the cloud, they typically find that file data poses a challenge that only a few solutions are well equipped to address.

Frequently, file data is amongst the most valuable data an organization holds. In many cases, files aren’t just valuable – they are the business product. Even files that aren’t actively in use hold immense value by way of business intelligence and insights.

That means the hybrid cloud storage and file services platform you choose has the ability to unlock immense value and productivity throughout the organization.

Conversely, it could enable incremental improvements that are less impactful than they could be.

Nasuni and Panzura are two hybrid cloud file services platforms that are almost always compared

At face value, both enable the modernization of legacy storage, allowing organizations to consolidate file data, reduce storage volumes, move file data to the cloud, and empower multi-site collaborative workflows. They also imbue data with ransomware resilience via immutable data, snapshots, and early detection to minimize disruption.

There is no doubt adopting either hybrid cloud solution will deliver welcome cost, resiliency, and efficiency benefits over legacy, NAS-based storage. Moreover, each enables improvements in data management that better position organizations to leverage AI.

However, deeper exploration reveals differences in these two hybrid cloud file data approaches that profoundly affect the way they operate in the real world. When considering the impact of file performance on productivity, and the potential for data loss alone, it’s Panzura that is proven to consistently enable superior outcomes and greater return on investment.

In this complimentary comparison we describe how these two solutions operate, why the differences matter, and how they affect what you can expect in your file environment.
