Nasuni earns AWS competency for manufacturing sector

Mon, 21st Oct 2024

Nasuni has achieved the AWS Manufacturing and Industrial Competency status, marking a significant development in its support for the manufacturing sector.

With this achievement, Nasuni distinguishes itself as an AWS Partner Network (APN) member with specialised capabilities in managing unstructured data and providing hybrid cloud services for manufacturing organisations. This status requires demonstrating extensive AWS expertise and the ability to deliver solutions efficiently on the cloud platform.

"Nasuni's commitment to cloud partnerships and AWS is reflected in our latest achievement of the AWS Manufacturing and Industrial Competency," stated Michael Sotnick, Senior Vice President of Corporate and Business Development at Nasuni. "The integration of our cloud-native file data services with AWS unlocks meaningful value for manufacturers in the form of greater global collaboration, stronger protection against ransomware, and increased scale."

As manufacturing firms increasingly seek to improve their infrastructure resilience and performance, the demand for hybrid cloud solutions has grown. Nasuni is among the providers helping large manufacturers such as Movado, AIXTRON, Western Digital, and Jakob Mueller to implement scalable, risk-mitigating, cost-optimising operations globally.

AWS supports this transition by offering scalable, flexible, and cost-effective solutions suitable for both startups and established global enterprises. The AWS Competency Program aids businesses in identifying APN Partners with the necessary industry expertise and experience.

Kenneth Borthwick, Senior Director of Infrastructure at Movado, shared insights on their choice of Nasuni: "There was some initial resistance to a cloud-based solution, as we're not out to adopt new technology just to say we're on the cutting edge. But we knew there had to be a better solution to our primary file storage and multi-site collaboration challenges."

"Some solutions offered a way to backup data to the cloud but didn't have the global file sharing component. Others offered global file sharing but were still too dependent on hardware which limited scale. Nasuni gives us both the global collaboration and data protection we were looking for. Overall it has greatly improved file sharing and made the whole process of managing unstructured data easier for Movado," Borthwick said.

Nasuni continues to support global organisations across various sectors, including manufacturing, construction, energy, and consumer goods. Offering scalable data platforms, Nasuni helps businesses manage unstructured data and leverage insights efficiently, paving the way for future technological advancements and improved infrastructure management.

The Nasuni File Data Platform is designed to provide scale with hybrid cloud storage that delivers secure data access at the edge and supports modern enterprise expectations for delivering AI-driven insights. Nasuni simplifies file data management while increasing access and performance. Its file recovery protects customers against a range of cyber threats and eliminates the need for specialised backup and disaster recovery - all while cutting the cost of infrastructure by up to 65%.
