How Alternatives Are Selected

1. Nasuni File Data Platform

4.8

I was initially a skeptic, when I joined the company there were performance questions around the product and a large proportion of the company wanted to replace the Nasuni platform with alternative products. After articulating our issues and concerns about what we were seeing, the customer success team mobilised a task-force of technicians, developers and a project manager to address our concerns. It turned out the main performance issue was caused by a misconfiguration on our part - this was quickly identified and rectified by the team. In addition to the headline problem, we also did a deeper dive into our performance concerns and all of these were addressed one by one. From my many previous experiences with multiple technology suppliers, spanning many years of trouble-shooting and escalating to the deep technical resources of storage product manufacturers this told me I was dealing with one of the 'good' ones. The best measure of a product/support organisation is what they do when presented with a difficult problem. The ones you want to work with are the ones that jump into the trenches with you, take ownership of the problem, and come back to you with good technical answers and actionable solutions.

3. AWS Storage Gateway

By Amazon Web Services (AWS)

4.4

(74 Ratings)

Our on-premise system, which we have developed, integrated and is currently in operation, collects a large quantity of data. The data is organized in several tiers, where the most recent data is accessed frequently, while older data is accessed very sporadically. To be compliant with business and disaster recovery requirements, we cannot keep this data just on one site because in case of disaster recovery, an instance of the system needs to be available at another site. Instead of developing our own solution, we use AWS Storage Volume Gateway in stored mode. It provides the necessary glue between the on-premise infrastructure on which the system runs, and the cloud storage where data is asynchronously synchronized to.
