Overview
Product Overview
Nasuni Edge for Amazon S3 is an integrated component of the Nasuni File Data Platform, providing industry-leading hybrid cloud storage that revolutionizes how organizations manage and store unstructured data. The Nasuni File Data Platform is a cloud-native replacement for traditional network-attached storage (NAS) and file server infrastructure. Nasuni consolidates file data in easily expandable Amazon S3 object storage at a fraction of the cost of on-premises solutions. It dramatically eliminates the need for complex legacy file backup, disaster recovery, remote access, and file synchronization technologies, simplifying IT storage administration and enhancing worker productivity. The Nasuni File Data Platform delivers effortless scalability, built-in security, and fast edge performance that increases business productivity, all within a single, unified administrative experience.
BRINGING S3 TO THE EDGE
Nasuni Edge for Amazon S3 enables low-latency access to file data stored in Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3). It allows organizations to deliver a high-performance file services cache locally while leveraging Amazon S3 object storage to provide a single, global namespace for all unstructured data. Your disparate, disconnected file shares are a thing of the past, and you can scale and grow without limits. The Nasuni software extends an organizations central Amazon S3 storage into distributed edge locations, including on-premises data centers, AWS Local Zones, AWS Outposts, and AWS Wavelength zones. Locally cached file data is available immediately to edge applications, while all file changes are continuously synced to Amazon S3 object storage in the background
FILE STORAGE WITHOUT LIMITS
Nasuni unshackles your infrastructure from limitations such as the number of volumes, number of locations, file size, directory size, and number of users. Gain the flexibility to align your file storage to the business and easily adjust and expand as needed.
BUILT-IN SECURITY
Nasuni Continuous File Versioning takes snapshots as often as every minute and stores them as immutable versions without any retention limits (RPO). With Nasuni, you do not need expensive backup and recovery solutions for your unstructured file data. Millions of files can be restored in minutes (RTO). Built-in disaster recovery takes only 15 minutes to recover access to impacted file shares. Ransomware detection and mitigation at the edge stops cyber-attacks quickly and enables extremely fast recovery.
EDGE PERFORMANCE WITH S3 SUPPORT
Lightweight Nasuni Edge virtual machines can be deployed on-premises or in the cloud to intelligently cache copies of frequently accessed data from cloud object storage for high-performance access. Nasuni continually applies data and metadata analysis to predict the file data most likely to be accessed, maximizing Nasuni Edge cache utilization.
Highlights
- LOCAL PERFORMANCE Achieve LAN-like performance for applications accessing Amazon S3 data through Nasuni intelligent edge caching. Deploy edge appliances locally, including on AWS Outposts.
- MULTI-PROTOCOL ACCESS Unify access to your data using simultaneous support for file (NFS/SMB) and Amazon S3 protocols within the same global namespace.
- UNLIMITED SCALE Grow a single namespace across available Amazon S3 storage tiers with no limits on the number of files, directories, users or locations.

Seamless Global File Synchronization and Robust Data Security
Reviewed on Dec 03, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate Nasuni's quick synchronization, which ensures every location has the latest data, making collaboration across global offices seamless. The ability to access large files locally while maintaining cloud availability maintains high performance, essential for our engineering and architectural projects. I find the backup process effortless with Nasuni, where simply setting the retention needs allows the software to manage the rest, and restorations are impressively fast, taking just seconds. The optional ransomware addon has proven its worth by effectively blocking simulated attack attempts in seconds, providing a significant peace of mind. Nasuni’s robust disaster recovery plan is well-designed, enabling complete recovery and data access within minutes. The initial setup was easy with Nasuni’s support throughout the process. I highly value these features, as they have significantly improved our workflow efficiency and data management.
What do you dislike about the product?
I occasionally encounter an issue where file locks are not released properly, requiring manual intervention from a Nasuni admin. While this isn't a major inconvenience and happens rarely, it does require extra steps for resolution, which could disrupt the workflow if it occurs frequently.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Nasuni solves our global data synchronization issue, ensuring reliable, high-performance file access across locations. It provides quick backups and restores, robust disaster recovery, and effective ransomware protection, enhancing collaboration and safeguarding data.
