Multi-site allows organizations with several locations to work on a single set of shared data.

"Multi-site does away with cumbersome replication schemes and frustratingly slow WAN optimizers" said Andres Rodriguez, CEO, Nasuni. "This is an engineering milestone. The combination of two new technologies--one, a file system that consolidates data from multiple locations into a single snapshot stream, and, two, an encryption scheme that secures all data on customers' premises -- this combination unlocks the full potential of file-level snapshots to global organizations."

The extend Nasuni's file-level snapshots to create a controller architecture that allows multiple storage controllers to have live access to the same volume of snapshots.

"We have begun to deploy Nasuni in our offices around the world and initial testing indicates we can expect top local performance. The overall experience has been a positive one thus far," said Jim Sokoloff, VP, Technology for Vistaprint.

To enable this capability, customers need to deploy either the Nasuni virtual appliance or one of Nasuni's new hardware options at each site, which enables them to access Nasuni's Data Continuity Services.

The Nasuni services capture an encrypted snapshot of the entire file system, while the most commonly accessed files are stored locally to provide optimal performance. At any time, end users can roll back to an earlier version of a file, directory or the complete file system altogether eliminating the need for additional back-ups, claims the company in a release.

Nasuni's multi-site access opens up several possibilities which include, data distribution to remote office/branch office (ROBO), remote offices forwarding data to a central point, two way synchronized read-write.
