Accelerated remote and hybrid access to NetApp file and object data
Why Nasuni Access Anywhere Server and NetApp?
The Nasuni Access Anywhere Server™ platform enables users to work with NetApp file and object data outside the boundaries of the office.
NetApp servers are deployed all over the world, from data centers to branch offices.
Yet it's still difficult for those who work outside an office, even part-time, to access data they need, and challenging for everyone to collaborate within global teams and partners.
With the Nasuni Access Anywhere Server, all users, whether remote, at home, or offline, can search, browse, share and access files from anywhere.
Data remains on the NetApp platform.
Users can work remotely using desktop, mobile and web apps – alongside users accessing NetApp files directly from the office.
