Cloud data services for AEC

The most cost-effective and durable data platform for fast, safe access to all architecture, engineering, and construction files, anywhere projects are being done.

Benefits

Data infrastructure and file management for architecture, engineering, and construction

AutoCAD, BIM, Revit, InRoads, Sketchup, and other popular AEC software have grown tremendously, taxing storage limits and requiring high performance. Data is often scattered across servers at remote job sites and global offices, making it difficult for teams to access. Nasuni is specifically optimized for AEC software and files — allowing you to safely store and share files from a single, global namespace anywhere in the world.

Built-in protection that reduces IT work

The traditional approach to backup is costly and time-consuming to manage. Nasuni’s unique approach to data storage uses immutable snapshots that can be restored to virtually any point in time, in minutes, from a simple drop-down menu — eliminating the need for backup. What’s more, you can recover petabytes of files from equipment failures at any location in as little as 15 minutes.

Unlimited cloud scale paired with local performance

Nasuni uses the scale and economics of object storage in the cloud for unlimited, on-demand file capacity. The Nasuni File Data Platform maintains fast, reliable local access to files with virtual edge appliances.

Synchronize files across locations and teams

Remote teams of architects, engineers, and BIM managers benefit from Nasuni’s ability to automatically synchronize files with its cloud-based orchestration center. Version conflict can easily be avoided with Nasuni’s powerful Global File Locking ® functionality.

Architecture, engineering, and construction customers

The world’s biggest brands have prepared for the future by modernizing their file storage and data protection with Nasuni’s cloud data services.

We use the continuous versioning feature and although we have not had to recover from a disaster, it has given us the confidence that if something like a ransomware incident should occur, we have the ability to restore to a previous safe version.

Josh Goldman, IT Infrastructure Manager, McLaren Construction Group

The bread and butter of what it does is the ability to sync data. Because in architecture, we are using unstructured data with a lot of big files and large file structures going from one place to another. Nasuni does that very quickly.

Joe Merando, CIO, JERDE

There were three areas where we were looking for new solutions. They were all separate but Nasuni solved all three problems for us at once.

Bernd Gwehr, Director of IT, Vossing

We don’t want to be bound by data centers. Nasuni makes a lot of sense as it gives us unlimited object-based file storage in the cloud, and offers the flexibility of moving or deploying a new appliance within a two-hour time frame and making the data available somewhere else.

Morten Madsen, IT Project Manager, Ramboll

We kicked off a project, signed a contract with Nasuni and we were off to the races. We eliminated 500 files servers and all the back-up licensing that went with.

Chris Moorhead, Director, Enterprise IT Systems & Engineering, Tetra Tech

Instead of managing separate file structures, and separate servers, and separate back-ups and all the patching and updating on all of those devices and platforms, we consolidated that to a single environment that is managed by a single console, by one team, which has made our acquisition process far more scalable.
