A secure and easy-to-deploy solution for Geoactive
About Geoactive Limited
Geoactive Limited is a software development company specializing in geoscience software, primarily for the oil and gas industry, mining, and other related sectors. With a global workforce, they rely on efficient file management and data security solutions to support their operations.The challenge
Geoactive faced a handful of file management challenges within its legacy system.
Geoactive faced significant challenges with inconsistent file access, frequent service dropouts, and broken drive mappings, which disrupted operations for its global workforce.

Geoactive also required a more secure and resilient solution to protect unstructured data, particularly against ransomware threats. These issues highlighted the need for a more reliable and efficient file storage solution.How Nasuni helped Geoactive Limited
