Nasuni Edge Appliances may be deployed on virtual appliances on-premises, in the cloud, or as physical devices. They securely transmit all files instantly to the cloud using customer-owned encryption keys, while locally caching only the active files, to provide "NAS-like" file access. Regardless of which way you deploy your Edge Appliances, you'll get the same secure, high-performance access to your unstructured file data.
Edge Appliances are stateless: any number can be deployed to meet business requirements. Multiple appliances located anywhere in the world can mount the same volumes, providing universal access to Nasuni UniFS, Nasuni's cloud-native global file system. Virtual and physical appliances can be mixed and matched within the same customer environments.
All Edge Appliances present file shares via standard NAS protocols (CIFS, NFS), and integrate with Active Directory and LDAP to leverage existing authentication and access policies.
Virtual Edge Appliances are proven to work with hyperconverged infrastructure solutions such as Nutanix, all-flash storage systems such as Pure Storage, and flash-optimized storage systems such as Nimble Storage.
