EthosEnergy strengthens with Nasuni for data resilience

EthosEnergy has successfully augmented its data management and disaster recovery strategy by utilising Nasuni's File Data Platform, as the company bolsters its resilience against natural disasters.

The service provider, with a focus on rotating equipment for various markets, including energy and aerospace, has integrated Nasuni's hybrid cloud storage solution to mitigate business risks associated with downtime during unpredictable events.

"We asked ourselves, do we have an immutable offline backup? Our answer was no, and we realised that would impact our business continuity," said a spokesperson at EthosEnergy.

"We did our research, and Nasuni came highly recommended by others in our industry. We brought them in to support us with secure, scalable file storage plus added ransomware protection. We can now confidently say that Nasuni helps us embrace speed and quality, which are essential to standing out in our industry."

This strategic move has been particularly significant for EthosEnergy as it recovers from the effects of Hurricanes Helene and Milton.

These natural disasters left their South Carolina and Florida facilities without power for more than a week, severely disrupting local operations.

Nasuni's platform enabled EthosEnergy to swiftly return to operational efficiency, allowing employees to continue working remotely. This ensured continuity for crucial tasks such as month-end financial closing, emphasising the platform's role in the company's data accessibility and operational flexibility.

"EthosEnergy's ability to consolidate file data into the cloud has empowered their teams to securely access critical information from anywhere, streamlining operations and enhancing their focus on delivering exceptional results to clients," stated Jason DePardo, Vice President of Global Services & Support at Nasuni. "Their success underscores how hybrid cloud infrastructure can revolutionise the energy sector—not just in terms of storage, but by driving resilience, agility, and overall productivity."

Nasuni's file data platform offers an alternative to traditional network-attached storage, benefiting from scalability and security through its partnerships with major cloud storage providers.

These features are enhanced by built-in ransomware protection, providing real-time threat detection and swift data recovery capabilities.

The value of such a solution is highlighted by the high cost of downtime, with industry surveys indicating potential losses of USD $300,000 per hour for most businesses and exceeding USD $1 million per hour for larger entities.

EthosEnergy is joined by other significant players in the energy sector, such as AkerBP, Petronas, and Repsol, all utilising Nasuni's storage solutions to enhance their operational resilience and data management capabilities.
