Review: Nasuni Offers Secure Cloud Storage

Computerworld recently conducted a review of Nasuni Filer, a CIFS share and backup solution that relies on cloud storage vendors for its back end. While Nasuni Filer is useful for disaster recovery, a downside identified was that the program's failure to delete snapshots will increase storage costs. The cost for customers is $300/month or less, but users must also pay for data storage charges from any cloud storage vendors used.


"In turn, data can be restored by file, folder or in its entirety should disaster (or thieves) strike. The downside is that snapshots currently aren't deleted. We uploaded a snapshot containing an ISO image at the beginning of our tests, and then deleted the ISO, but the snapshot with the ISO in it is still alive. This increases storage costs."
