Managing data and infrastructure at a large organization is more difficult than ever. Companies are desperate for operational and financial efficiency. One of our new European customers, an automotive parts supplier, is a perfect example. The company’s manufacturing hubs weren’t able to collaborate with each other. Backups were slow to restore, disaster recovery was unreliable, and IT was spending too much time managing file services. Nasuni demonstrated the capabilities of its hybrid cloud storage platform, then showed the customer how much money they’ll save, which included 40% savings on hard costs alone.
This deal added a valued new customer to the Nasuni family and marked the beginning of an exciting new strategic partnership with Kontron Services Austria. The IT services and solutions provider, a division of global giant Kontron AG, offers a comprehensive IT services portfolio. Kontron has seen firsthand how modern companies need scalable, cloud-native solutions that replace traditional NAS, reduce risks, drive workflow efficiencies, and optimize costs.
Nasuni’s technology stood out to Kontron because it provided all of this and more in a single platform designed natively for the cloud. In our initial deal together, Nasuni’s hybrid cloud storage platform is projected to provide Kontron’s client with:
- $237,000 savings relative to the object storage provider’s file services solution
- 40% savings on hard costs including software licenses and infrastructure
- $100,000 in projected annual soft cost savings through reduced management effort & increased employee efficiency
We know how difficult it can be for modern IT organizations to find dependable, reliable, scalable solutions. As a partner-centric sales organization, having a trusted IT services provider like Kontron is an important part of navigating these murky waters.
This is just the beginning of our relationship with Kontron, but we’re excited about the possibilities because they immediately understood what our hybrid cloud storage platform along with the people behind it can do for today’s organizations. “Modern companies need scalable, cloud-native solutions that replace traditional NAS, reduce risks, and optimize cloud costs. Nasuni fulfills these requirements perfectly,” says Armin Bernkopf, Head of Presales and Solution Architect at Kontron AG. “We look forward to continued collaboration to offer innovative, efficient solutions that help our clients navigate the complexities of today’s data landscape.”
And we look forward to working with Kontron and our other valued global partners to help more companies move away from outdated infrastructure and difficult-to-manage point solutions to a single, comprehensive, and truly scalable hybrid cloud storage platform.
