Aqcuisition will bolster data management & remote work capabilities
Nasuni has acquired Storage Made Easy (SME), a leading file data management company that offers remote work and compliance solutions for cloud file storage. Financial details of the transaction are not being disclosed. The acquisition of SME is Nasuni’s second transaction within the last few months following a $60 million investment earlier in the year.
“Providing secure, high-performance access to file data from any location while complying with a stringent regulatory landscape is challenging every IT organisation,” said Paul Flanagan, chief executive officer of Nasuni. “By adding remote work and compliance capabilities to the Nasuni platform through the acquisition of SME, we are giving organisations even more reasons to modernise their file data infrastructures, all while reducing capital and operational costs. This adds further capabilities to our ‘work from anywhere’ strategy, accelerating our file data services leadership.”
“The combination of SME and Nasuni creates a suite of highly complementary, multi-cloud file data services for our customers and partners,” said Jim Liddle (pictured), founder and chief executive officer of SME. “Joining Nasuni is a natural move, and the SME team is thrilled to join the company and help advance their leadership in the file data services market.” Liddle will join Nasuni as vice president of product, file fabric.
The SME acquisition gives organisations more reasons to adopt the Nasuni File Data Platform for their file storage, backup and ransomware concerns. It uniquely leverages object storage from Azure, AWS and Google Cloud to transform legacy file infrastructure with a suite of file data services that enables files to be accessed from anywhere and protected from anything.
In addition to augmenting Nasuni’s remote work and compliance capabilities, the acquisition of SME gives Nasuni an additional presence in the UK as it continues to expand its EMEA footprint, which grew in March with the opening of the company’s new innovation center in Cork, Ireland.
