As a company with operations worldwide, EthosEnergy needed a robust backup solution to reduce business risks and minimise any potential business interruptions.
"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."
According to ITIC's 2024 Hourly Cost of Downtime survey, downtime costs can reach approximately $300,000 per hour for most businesses and exceed $1 million per hour for 44% of midsize and large businesses. Nasuni’s platform provides a cloud-native alternative to traditional network-attached storage (NAS), offering effortless scalability, built-in security, and fast performance through partnerships with major object storage providers like Amazon S3, Azure Blob, and Google Cloud. Its ransomware protection capabilities further ensure real-time detection, rapid mitigation, and swift recovery.
Nasuni also played a surprisingly crucial role during Hurricanes Helene and Milton, which left EthosEnergy’s South Carolina and Florida facilities and local servers without power for more than a week. The storm damage was extensive, but many employees were ready to return to work remotely. With Nasuni, the company was back up and running quickly, ensuring data accessibility for essential operations like month-end closing. Now, EthosEnergy has gained the business continuity and flexibility to restore data among any circumstance and enhance collaboration across its global workforce.
“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,” said Jason DePardo, VP 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.”
