When speed, efficiency, and optimization matter, moving the least amount of data over the shortest possible distance enables immediate data delivery.

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.

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.
