Nasuni Corporation, a provider of file data services, has acquired the technology and products of DBM Cloud Systems.
Founded in 2016 by Dixon Doll, Jr., DBM provides cloud data migration technology for hybrid and multi-cloud environments. The acquisition comes after a $ 60 million investment from Sixth Street in March. Dr. Joseph Slembert, former Vice President of Engineering at DBM, joined Nasuni as Vice President of Engineering, leading the data mobility team.
Businesses are aggressively adopting data management approaches that are first and foremost in the cloud to enhance cyber resilience, maintain hybrid performance models, and gain seamless scale to meet business needs. Data migration is an important part of any cloud strategy. Moving data from legacy file storage systems to and from the cloud should be seamless. Since 2021, according to Accenture, almost all companies (93%) have adopted a multi-cloud strategy, making high-speed data mobility between clouds a critical feature.
With this acquisition, Nasuni will improve its data mobility capabilities to ensure seamless data migration and improved multi-cloud support for its customers so that they can effortlessly move data from local to cloud and between different cloud hyperscalers. Integrated technology will allow Nasuni to improve its data mobility capabilities, including:
• Cloud data migration: Migrate petabytes of data from local to the cloud or to public, private or hybrid clouds.
• Smart tiers: Automatically move data between cloud storage levels to optimize costs.
• Improved multi-cloud support: Move and maintain data close to desired cloud services and applications for optimal performance while minimizing security risks through flexible data portability.
Slember said: “At DBM, we have built a technology that automates the migration and management of data between the clouds, while simplifying the movement of data between them.
“By combining technology with Nasuni’s file data platform, users will get faster file data migration and smarter sorting, saving significant time and money.”
Paul Flanagan, CEO of Nasuni, said: “Nasuni’s file data platform includes the world’s only global file system that combines file and object storage with unlimited scale and capacity, and we have built strong partnerships with Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud for storing backend objects.
“We make file data migration, sorting, and data traffic between the clouds a frictionless service. Today, businesses do not want to lock all their data with a single cloud, but instead adopt a multi-cloud approach. DBM technology and the experience we have gained will enable Nasuni to accelerate and innovate our support for data migration, multi-cloud and data mobility. ”
