Nasuni Posts 1Q13 Record Quarter

Nasuni Corp. announced that the first quarter of 2013 surpassed the previous quarter as the best in the history of the company, setting new records in every category.

"The secret of our growth is that we solve a real problem for IT," said Andres Rodriguez, CEO of Nasuni. "Until Nasuni, providing consolidated, uniform storage to all locations of a global enterprise had been a nightmare for IT. We provide a powerful, scalable, cost-effective service that gives everyone access to the global fileshare, but it looks and feels like the local storage they already know. Customers are buying Nasuni because our service solves a problem that many customers have been wrestling with for years."

During the first quarter of 2013
compared to the same period in 2012,
the company:

• More than doubled bookings, which increased by 156%;
• More than doubled the number of enterprise customers, which grew by 164%;
• Doubled average transaction size, which grew by 109%;
• Nearly doubled the total terabytes of storage under management, which grew 80%; and
• Now supports installations in 27 countries across six continents.

"Customers considering cloud storage often want to move away from procuring and managing on-premise infrastructure. Nasuni offers a storage service that eliminates the hassle of procuring on-premise hardware," said Laura DuBois, program VP at IDC. "Their pricing model of charging a predictable TB/year subscription and embedding any hardware requirements into the service has proven very appealing to enterprises, as has the ability to provide any number of locations around the world with fast access to a global fileshare without compromising security or control."

"Many storage VARs worry about the cloud and what it will do to their business," said Eric Page, director of territory sales at Adaptive Communications, LLC. "Not us. Nasuni has been a fantastic partner, with a model that understands the channel and the value we provide. As Nasuni grows, so does our opportunity."

Combining this success with the recent round of fundraising from late 2012, Nasuni is investing in the growth of its sales and marketing teams.
