Configuring the Nasuni Edge Appliance
•
Private cloud (on-premises) storage services IBM Cloud Object Storage, and Dell EMC Elastic
Cloud Storage (ECS).
The choices for the back-end cloud storage component are part of each customer license. Each
volume has only one back-end cloud storage component.
Nasuni Global Volume Manager™
Nasuni Global Volume Manager enables you to ensure that all volumes are uniquely aligned. Nasuni
Global Volume Manager is software that aligns and stores each change as its own unique, immutable
version, transmits the change to your third-party cloud storage system at a high speed, and distributes
that change to every Nasuni Edge Appliance in all locations, so that customers can ensure that all users
in all locations are accessing the latest files from the third-party cloud storage system.
Nasuni Global File Lock™
Nasuni is designed to enable multiple appliances to connect to a single volume, so that users in
different locations can collaborate on the same shared files. Nasuni Global File Lock is software that
works with third-party cloud storage to ensure that only one user can write data at a time, minimizing
the possibility of version conflicts. Nasuni Global File Lock ensures that only one user in the world can
make file changes at any time, by controlling the transmission of data by multiple users to your third-
party cloud storage system does not overlap.
Organizations benefit by having a simple, safe, and secure way to share data across any number of
sites. Nasuni's multi-site access capabilities include:
•
Secure data distribution to remote office/branch office (ROBO).
•
Remote offices forwarding data to a central point.
•
Two-way synchronized read-write.
Nasuni's multi-site access also does away with costly and cumbersome replication schemes and slow
WAN optimizers.
Nasuni Edge Appliance Web-based interface
Each Nasuni Edge Appliance offers a Web-based interface that enables you to manage volumes and
performance. To manage many Edge Appliances, you use the Nasuni Management Console.
Nasuni Management Console
The Nasuni Management Console enables you to monitor and manage many Nasuni Edge Appliances
from one central Web-based interface. Using the Nasuni Management Console, you can view the
status of all of your appliances, as well as configure their settings. Using the Nasuni Management
Console, you can also ensure consistent settings by applying changes to all appliances with one
operation.
