Nasuni Announces Its Cloud Storage Partner Program

Cloud storage startup Nasuni is preparing to introduce its first formal channel program. As reported on CRN, the new channel program recognizes the importance of building a partner base to bring cloud storage technology to customers as quickly as possible.

"Nasuni is the developer of the Nasuni Filer, a virtual appliance that links through the Internet to one or more third-party clouds for backing up and archiving files while providing local copies for fast access. Changes to the files are also copied to the cloud to maintain up-to-date versions.

"The Nasuni Filer helps solution providers take advantage of existing public storage clouds, including Amazon (NSDQ:AMZN) Web Services, AT&T (NYSE:T), Nirvanix, and Windows Azure to offer Storage-as-a-Service to customers.

"It allows remote and local caching of files, along with such services as thin provisioning and built-in snapshots to eliminate the need to back up data."
