Transcript for "Modernising File Storage Infrastructure in the Age of AI": Hello, everyone. Welcome to our webinar. We will give it to some couple of time, maybe two, three minutes before we can start, give me a chance to people to join us. Welcome to the offer, and stay tuned. Thank you. Hi, Hammad. Hi, Eunice. How are you? Hello, mister.com? Hi, Hector. Morning. Morning, Elie. Morning, everyone. Thank you very much for attending today's webinar. It's going to be a very good use of your time. Amazing. So we'll give it another, two fast minutes before we can start. I can see people joining as well. Yeah. I believe we are good to go, Hector. Yeah. Sure. We may have more people joining the the webinar, but so we they can get in as whenever they arrive. Again, thank you very much everyone for for joining this webinar. It's a pleasure to have you all, and, we are going to cover very interesting topics. So without further ado, what we're going to do is we are going to start we are going to, go over the agenda for, for today's webinar. Yeah. So the agenda for today, what we're going to do is, basically, we're going to start with introductions. We will tell you who who we are, And we are going to go through, challenges. The challenges that, the IT managers, head of ITs, head of IC ICTs, they are having today when it comes to file data. This is a this is a webinar focused on file data, file infrastructure, all the products that can create. So we will cover those challenges. Then we will go to point number three, which is what is government telling us, government analysis about that. Then we'll move into, okay, we have these challenges. Government is telling this, and there is a platform there, which is the Nasuni platform, which can help you to address those challenges. And we will go through the benefits and and different use cases. And then we will, follow with, Digital Future Middle East. Our partner in The Middle East will explain a little bit more on how we partner there, and we will close, with remarks at the end. But also we will have q and a. But q and a, we want this to make an interactive, very casual, webinar. We don't want to be talking all the time. So you have a chat where you can put your your questions, and we will be answering them as fast as we can. So let's go with, introductions. So, Elie, do you want to start? Yeah. Thank you, Hector. Here's Elie Nahas. I am the digital transfer at Digital Future Middle East. Very happy to have you here with us here. Actually, I have a very interesting topic, to be addressed today. So during this, webinar, we'll go over different, different stuff. We discuss all challenges. We discussed our. We discussed our file storage. We discussed our field cases. That's what it looked like an interaction between me and Hector answering your questions as well. I thought I got a lot of, questions, in my mind. Alice already through different meetings, but wanted to share it with you. So as well during this, webinar, we'll have a polls where we'll have, raise questions so we can interact on that, also we can answer these questions, and we can share with you as well the answers. I'm very happy to have you with us. Definitely, we'll be conducting after that webinar. Looking forward to meeting you later on. Thank you. Right. Thank you, Elie. So my name is Hector Vidal. I work for Nasuni, and I've been working for Nasuni just over four years. I am part of the, presales, department. I am covering quite EMEA, mostly focused on on the Middle East and Southern, Europe regions. And my role basically is I am more in the business side of things, commercial side of things, although I love technology. I have to I have to admit. I'm always learning new things about technology. But my role is more in the business case and understanding use case and making sure that we have the right, use cases with our platform for that specific customer. So we need to pair those those two. When it comes to, very technical points, that we have to address, we have an army of people. So I will be participating on those conversations as well, but we have subject matter experts for every different use case. When it comes to SharePoint lifecycle management, when it comes to AI, discussions, so we have people for that. We have as well our solutions architect. So I am more in the part of commercial things, but we have lots of people that can cover the technical aspects. So that's what I've been helping, onboarding to the platform a variety of customers, from different geographies, including the, of course, the The Middle East. So that's about me. Then we move in with, point number two, in our agenda, which is the, the challenge. Now, again, we are talking about file data, file infrastructure, and and that will be we see that needs to change. And what challenges and this is based on our conversations with customers, over years and present. And what challenge we see and you're facing is file data. It keeps growing. It's explosive, the the growth of file data. It normally accounts to, for 80% of the file data that a company or the data that a company has. Then you want that data to be protected and to be protected against against ransomware or you want to recover. So that's another challenge that you have in your mind or can happen at any point in time. Then file storage infrastructure, you have to manage the silo infrastructure. You have NAS and file servers, and then you have backups. That's a headache, to manage. Then you want your distributed file teams to be productive, so you need to enable them. And and then you need to give them tools to interact with files, to access files, and to share those files and to provide. That's another challenge that you have. The current solution, they don't normally count with, visibility, about, what you have, how your users are accessing that by data, what is really archive? What is really active active data? What is really inactive? You don't have that. Then you have regulatory compliance. You have data you you need to keep because of, legal terms, you need to keep your data for twenty years. So you need to have long term data retention. You have operational complexity. Then now it's AI is coming into the picture. So it's not coming into the picture. It's already there. It's very well advanced. You need to do something. You want to make you want to use AI, but you want to use against your your silent infrastructure. Is that efficient? Then you have your the CEO of your company, say, well, we need to move to the cloud because I read this article, and we really need to move to the cloud. And then you say, okay. Well, for a second, yes. There's a mandate to go to the cloud. Then you have SharePoint. SharePoint is a great solution from from Microsoft for cooperating and collaboration. But what if you surpass that storage capacity that you get with your, Microsoft agreement, with your Microsoft three sixty five agreement? That is extremely expensive. It might be more. I'm sure that there are more, challenges, but this is just to paint, to paint the picture paint, I would say, about, file data. Elie, anything you want to add? Or Yeah. Very important, challenge that we are seeing to, nowadays. People who are paying a lot of money to manage their hybrid file storage on prem, on cloud. They're moving to the cloud. Paying money to host this, the storages is extremely expensive. We have the right solution for you guys here. I will take this opportunity to pull in our first, question. What do you think, Hector? Yep. I think that would be it's a great time to do it. Yep. Yeah. So we'll ask you that question here. You can see it now. You will it will see you will see it in your in the polls. Would love to see, your question. So the question is, where are your files stored now? Is it on prem, in the cloud, or on hybrid? So let's see how the votes are distributed. And we share back the results with you in couple of months. You can take over, Hector. Yep. Yeah. Thank you very much. And, again, we have, the chat, and your where you can put your questions, and we have as well technical people in the backstage that can answer, your questions. So if you have any technical question as well, you can drop in the chats in the q and a chat. Okay. So we covered the challenges that you have that you may most likely you will have more. And now what is Gartner telling us? I mean, you have a Gartner account. It's very common. It's where you go and then you you check about everything about IT. And Gardner is telling us in regards to file storage, and it's telling that the market is evolving towards a hybrid cloud storage, setup or way of of doing things. And and that is, so these are based on it's kind of research, talking to, to companies, to customers, basically, that the the amount of, the the PHY data that is sorry. What's the amount of PHY data that would be storing in the amount of PHY data is going to triple, by 02/1926, the structured data. The the 60% of the IO, I and O leaders, they are going to, implement hybrid cloud deployment. So this is gathered telling us what is going to what is happening, what is the marketing, trending to. Then 70% of organizations, they want to reduce cost, and they want to accelerate that. It might be more depending on the country, depending on the region. We have the companies, they can save up to, if not more, 10% by replacing the traditional CapEx. And then we have as well the surface plan that is this is a slide. I don't want to go through all of the points here. But basically, that what Gartner is hinting that is the market is trending to a hybrid cloud storage, way of doing things when it comes to file storage infrastructure. So great. So we we cover the challenges. We cover okay. What is Gardner's telling us about? Where are we heading to? Now I'm going to pause the video, take a step back, and I'm going to speak about us, about Nasuni. And Nasuni is a is a software. It's a SaaS company. We are headquartered in Boston in the East Coast Of United States. But we have, operations in Australia. We have people as well in Australia, in The Middle East, in India as well. We have also a big big footprint in The UK and in Ireland, in in Europe continental as well, and, of course, in The US. And so, Nasuni is a as well, again, it's a it's a SaaS company. It's all about file data. So we are file expressing file data. It's a That's where we are. And we are we have hundreds of petabytes under management. We don't we don't use our tenant. We use our customers' tenant. I will I will dig deeper into that, but we don't use our tenant. We use our customer tenant, which speaks volumes about, the the control that our customers have over their data, over their value structure infrastructure, over their buy data. We're in the marketplace. So you can go in the marketplace and you can transact through the marketplace. That's an option. We are a Vista backed firm. I will go in a little bit more in I will discuss a little more about that in the next slide. We have a 99.6% retention rate, which is great. That means that our customers, they stay with us. And we have and our expansion rates are higher. So when customers going to do the Nasuni platform, it's a platform, it's a hybrid cloud storage platform. The customers, they expand. A huge expansion. We have over 1,000 customers. You have few customers here. You can we highlighted a few of them in in the slides. So we work with a variety of organizations that are from Drexel Myers in the automotive. We have with we work with Pie Porters in in UAE, with Repsol in Spain, with Lego, with Under Armour, you you name it. Yeah. Yeah. But we have more. Because we are a SaaS solution, we have an NPS score, and that NPS score basically is that net promoter score. That basically means the likelihood of a peer in your industry to recommend Nasuni to you. Now it's it's very interesting because the big part of our customers, they come to Nasuni because they've been recommended to come. Not from us, from all the customers. And that's what we want. We want happy customers that they they spread their their word-of-mouth and they say, go with Nasuni. It's a great solution. And you can don't take my word because I work for Nasuni. Well, take it lightly. And and go to gather print sites, and you can see the reviews. So that's public. We have 4.7 mark. So this is about, very quickly about Nasuni. I mentioned that we are, Vista backed firm. So Vista Equity Partners is the company that is, will acquire a majority of the of Nasuni. Vista is the sixth, largest software company in the world, and we are part of their portfolios. Vista, basically, they have a large portfolio of software companies that includes Infoblox, Forcepoint, Finastra, Jamf, LogicMonitor, SalesLoft, you know that. No. You can go to the website of Vista, and we are there. So we are part of the portfolio. One thing in this is to give you the peace of mind that we have the, one, the financial backing from a huge entity, and, two, because we have the financial backing that we can reinvest in product development, in product roadmap, and in our customers, you know, customer support, in our customers, in in our customer care. That way we can do so. That's what I'm highlighting. So any questions? If you have any questions, just, again, please feel free to drop them in the q and a, chat. Now so we we have been getting to the point about, okay, what is exactly that Nasuni says? Hybrid storage platform. That's great. We with a software company. Great. But what use cases we, we normally cover. And they are pairing with those challenges that we mentioned before. So use case, we have companies to consolidate that, NAS and file server, boxes, basically. We we help with the, SharePoint lifecycle management. So we help companies to to offload, the, SharePoint, into Nasuni. So they can, one, they can save money, That's what they can do with Nasuni. They can save money, but still they can see that, those files through through SharePoint. Then the other use case about file backup and data recovery. We help companies to modernize, to adopt cloud, and we'll explain how. We in the in the, in the AC industry, we help companies to improve, file collaboration. The likes of Autodesk Street, that's something we improve, the file collaboration across large files. The other use case is, disaster recovery, ransomware protection, ransomware detection, and mitigations. I will touch on that. Another one is, AI feeds, how to efficiently leverage AI, to when it comes to file data. And then the another interesting one is about data visibility, Okay. What what what really is in in what what do we have? How the the users accessing that the the files? How much is being consumed? So all of this, is a part of our use case. Open that. I'm going too fast paced. Thank you. Before we get into the Nasuni solution itself, And we touch on the challenges. What is Ghana telling us? And we will discuss about Nasuni use cases. But what the what we see, what we realized when we discussed with customers is they have an aspiration. Where do they want to go? So, yes, they want to go to cloud because that's, yeah, that's fantastic. Right? You could get cloud and you can leverage the economics of the cloud. Now economics of the cloud take it with a pinch of salt, but there are ways to control your consumption. Right? But also, it depends on what services you consume from cloud. But also you with cloud, they want to go to cloud because it's simpler to manage. Right? But also, because you can't get the durability of the data because you someone is doing it for you. You don't have to transfer you. You don't have to do things, all these things. But on the other side, they also want to get the best of on prem. So it's not yes. We want to go to cloud, but we want to keep, some level of on prem because we want to be, we want to maintain the performance for their users. Right? And and also we want to maintain some level of control. We want to see the boxes. We want to see what's happening there. So that's the explanation of the where are the IoT leaders they so the I I know leaders they're going to go when it comes to file search infrastructure. Okay. So and then we start the conversations within customers. And we ask, okay. How do you doing it today? What's your current so you we know your challenges. We know where you want to go, and and, you know, you we know your use cases. How do you do it today? How you're doing how you're storing the files and how you are sharing those files? So, they explained that they want to, basically, they the the file storage infrastructure, the way you are doing it today is they have a data center. They have, NASS and file service on those data centers, then they have solutions to back up that those, those NASS and file service. They may have as well a an it is after recovery of site that are connected to MPLS, DAF file, Internet links, etcetera. Then still people are using tapes, and then they're sending to another mining team. And then you have the remote locations. And those remote locations then you have a similar setup. You have locations where you don't have any infrastructure at all. But on top of that, you have as well the the the distributor workforce, remote workers or hybrid workers. And they need to access files and need to share and collaborate on files that you need to enable them and then you have the likes of SharePoint and OneDrive and Microsoft Teams, but you also have Dropbox and Box. And then also you have things like pre transfer to share files that we can't they are not good in SharePoint and things like that. So this we are not saying this is a bad approach, but, but what we see is, okay, that is seems looks very complex. That is a complex to manage. It's a massive headache. Then it's inefficient and and is is costly. And and then you have those you need to do capacity planning. You have date silos. You have a file sync complexity because it's not within the same file system. And then you have shadow IT. And and also you have the lack of data visibility and analytics. And then, then if you want to leverage, AI tools that are in the cloud, that is going to be inefficient and slow to deploy those AI cloud tools against on prem infrastructure. So what we are saying is there should be more modern clouds, a simpler approach to all of this. There should be a solution. Okay. So, basically, that is what you get with Nasuni. We are going to give you and going back to with the the slide that we we showed before is we are going to give you the best of clouds. We are going to give you the best of on prem, and we are going to provide you with tons of simplicity, when it comes to file storage infrastructure and file storage services. It's it's simple very simple solution, simple architecture. And, also, what you're going to get with Nasuni is scalability, for the scalability. You're going to get security and and performance. So back to the previous slide, we are going to transform that, kind of complex and silos file storage infrastructure and difficult to manage, into a very simple solution, very easy to manage. This is going to give you tons of benefits as I as I am highlight highlighting in this in this slide. Now I'm going to explain, okay, how is that possible. Okay? So you say I have all these challenges. This is how I'm doing it today, and you can come up with a solution that is going to solve all those challenges. How from a from a technology standpoint? Before I get into, the explanation of the Nasuni from a product, standpoint, I think it's it's a good time to do another poll. Yes. %. Thank you, Hector. At the same time, I just wanted to mention mention for everyone here on the webinar that, all your questions that are submitted in the q and a section will be answered. We'll leave it until the end. Maybe, the last time ends of the webinar. And now we'll be closing the if you still don't have the chance to answer the first poll, please do so before we close it. So, again, where are your files stored? On prem, in the cloud, or on hybrid? Majority of people who are here are answering with, with hybrid. So it's like around 80% of the answers, but if you are on prem or completely in the cloud, which is the case where we when that's only % fit. So we closed this first, okay. Yeah. I can see still some answers coming in. Let's let's let's give it another two, three minutes. Maybe we meanwhile, Hector, we can answer that question very fast, coming on the in the QA. How does Nasuni handle file access performance across global teams? So if we can answer this, before we close the poll, it would be great. Yeah. Yeah. That's something I'm going to discuss, in this slide. So how we can this is a great great great question. And and the the, the audience will understand very quickly. Our technical audience will understand very quickly how it's possible that okay. How we can address that, how we can handle that access across, well, global sites. So I will go into that. Okay. So Oh, okay. Let me come back. Yes. I can see also, Ariel, who already answered this technical question in the background. So but at the same time, we can we can share it with everyone here in the course. Yeah. So now we'll close this, first poll of, questions. We'll go to the next one. I will open that one now. So the question is, how much file data in terms of office file, images, audio, video, CAT file, all unstructured data that your organization have. So we are talking about sizes. So you can see your, the different options. Please go ahead and answer it. So let's see with us numbers, of that webinar. How what is the size storage so we can see. Back to you. Hector, you can continue. Yes. And also they say there is a in the chat, someone is, well, missed. So, like, how we is is talking about license schema and also migration from other competitors. That's something I mean, we need a separate call to discuss that, because we have different options to to migrate. I've been involved in number of migrations, so I'm very happy to to take that, that, to take that question. I'm going to go back to, okay. About Hector, we can we can only vary high level just to inform, mister Akram, how how does it look. So it's like license per terabyte, just in a very high level. Yeah. That's that's a good point, sir. The the way we license the, our platform, which is a SaaS solution, is, per terabyte, per usable terabyte, per year. So that's how it works from our, our license, model. And then we have some add ons as well that we will cover, and they are based as well on the amount of file data that you move into the into the Nasuni platform. From a migration perspective, it depends. So, it's very dependent. Now we are doing a migrate well, we conclude the migration of 450 gigabytes in less than one month and a half. And, that was a little bit different because we're they were moving away from, travelers on top. They have the data in the in the in in Azure. So what we do what we did is we we have Edge Appliance. I will explain that concept as Edge Appliance right now, in the cloud. We spin those Edge Appliance in the cloud. So we ingest data, that was in Azure already in the into the Nasuni appliance in the cloud and then back to to Azure. That was very straightforward and very simple process. The Edge appliance is what you need to go to the Edge appliance for to do the migration, and and the you can do you can do parallel streams so you can increase the speed of, migrating of all the solutions. I will explain as well about SharePoint life cycle because there's there's another, there is another migration tool that we use. And that and and that's how you can migrate as well. Kind of, yeah, migrate. You can set up, like, regular migrations and and and well, regular migration. I can it don't don't have the word right now. To do those, to do the to automate, the process. So, in regards to Nasrin, okay, we say, okay. We we can help you with all of challenges. We are going to simplify everything, and it's going to be it's going to be cheaper. Right. So the the main thing to understand about Nasuni and don't get me wrong. Nasuni can be deployed on on prem, object storage. That's possible. That's true that my data for our customers are using public cloud. Now the main point to understand is that Nasuni is a cloud native solution. So we come from cloud. We extend, to the to the to the on prem. What I'm telling trying to say here is that all the solutions, they came NetApp, for example. I'm not saying it's a bad solution, but they came from from on prem, and they are going to the cloud, and they went to the cloud. So what they are doing is they have code that needs to shift a lift to the cloud. That means that they are that complexity that you have on prem, you're moving to the ground. And if there those that are familiar with things that are in top that, you know, it's not it's not that simple. What you've been working, you know it's not that simple. So Nasuni is a cloud native solution. We come from cloud. That's that's a great thing that we extend to the to the to on prem. We go to on prem as well. The main thing to understand is that, we create, a file system. It's a global file system called called UniFS. And that global file system is a file system that is global. It's single global namespace. And that's also great because you're not gonna have silo anymore. So that global file system resides in object storage in object storage of your choice. That could be Azure Blob or for those in Saudi, that would be Google Cloud, of course, and hosted in the land region. That could be AWS, but also there are other options. But this is what we normally see. Right? So the global file system resides in object storage. And the we store there all your file data, the versions of the files, the metadata, the system states, the items, everything is in object storage of your choice. We use your tenant. We don't use our tenant. So that gives you that control as well. And, great, everything is in object storage so that you get the durability of the data because that is per the definition of the the the goal. Sorry. The the object storage. You get the, the scalability. So it's it's just infinitely scalable, the object storage. Infinite. It depends on your data cloud provider. Right? But, also, you get cost savings. It's it's very cheap. You check Azure Blob, CoolRS. The spreadsheet. So that's great. Everything. So you have a single source of true where your data, file that will reside. We unify everything in object storage. Now you will say, okay. You will question now a challenge in how I'm going to access the data. How is the users and applications that they're going to access the data? Now that's the point. So what we do is because otherwise, they will have performance issues. What we do, we extend our performance to the edge. So the way your users and applications will access that data, file data, that file system, the global file system, will be through edge appliance, edge caching appliance. These are lightweight edge caching appliance. So that will be your the replacement of your file service and lattice. This is not applying to file server anymore. So it's just a it's going to be a mother of having to put spinning a virtual machine. It's a virtual machine. We'll give you the image template for the virtual machines, and it's it's a lightweight edge caching appliance. So, basically, the role of this escalation appliances to, what we do, the access that board, to to access the the file system that is in the cloud. And it's also to cut the or the role is to cache that, the most frequently used file data And and and then continuously send copies of the deltas of the change that happens on those files up into the cloud. So we are pushing those changes continuously to the cloud, and and then we are we are storing them as immutable objects in object storage. So you what we are creating as an immutable version of your files in object storage of your choice. And that's great because you can retrieve versions of your files. We don't have limitations around the the the versions of the files. We can retrieve or you can retrieve those versions at any point in time that version history, and then you can extremely quickly recover because it's just a virtual machine pointing to the previous version. And the also these, again, it's a lightweight caching appliance. So you just need a small amount of, resources, CPU, memory, and disk for those escalation appliance. And, again, we will give you the image. So that's for free. So you can deploy as many as you wish. Those escalation appliance can be hosted on prem or in the cloud depending on use cases or hybrid. You can have both, depending on the different use cases. So, that's the role. And now you can have multiple. And I'm going to answer the question about, okay, how we manage that, global access to find it across multiple locations. So you can have as many edge appliance as you wish. We don't charge for that. And and they are going to be all in sync because we have a service cloud that is included in our, subscription that will make sure that all these edge appliance in a network. You could be fileless. All these edge appliance are in sync. You don't have to do anything. They just show with the metadata, so they are all in sync. And that's that's how you get to where, that's, global access to the file system and that you get the same seamless speakers for the user regardless of where they are. And, again, so now the other point of pain testing is that, we will so the way the the the users will access with SMB shares sorry, SMB and NFS and also S3 protocol. And so, basically, there's not going to be changes for so you will see all these, as map drives. So you will have a single global namespace with all the different map drives. That is not going to change your user experience. And also, it will be the same UNC path for your applications. So, basically, we are not changing anything from a user experience perspective, so they will not notice, the change. So, that's so you you see here now okay. You get that, the way I explain is you get that unlimited capacity on demand in the cloud. So it's fully scalable. It's built in backup because we replace that solutions to backup your file data because we have all the versions of store in the cloud, and you can recover at any point in time. It's also built in disaster recovery because you you can have an edge appliance. You use edge appliance. Actually, your data is an object storage. You just need to rehydrate at the edge of a USB and you and you you rehydrate that edge appliance and you retrieve the data from the cloud. But also, you can there are different options, the the the the disaster recovery. You can also do, DFSAs that you have a you point your users to a different, HSI so they are not gonna they are gonna able to notice the that downtime. So it's built in disaster recovery. It's built in file backup. And, also, you get the performance on the edge because they're accessing from on prem depending on the use cases, but, also, they are all in sync. So, so they you have a company which sites from all across Asia, I don't know, all across Australia and and and also Asia and Europe. They will have access to the same single global in the space with all the map drives, and they will be in sync. So that's also great from from from empowering that global collaboration. So this is the the bread and butter of, the of the the core Nasuni platform. We have also, other, add ons, optional add ons. So the the way I explained, the solution is built in rapid ransomware recovery. Right? Because you have the version of the files, so you can go to the previous version. And then it will be a more manual process, but you can't recover from a ransomware attack by yourself, within Nasuni backbone. We also offer Nasuni ransomware protection as an option. And and that that is that is having a huge success and acceptance within our customers. Basically, it's a detection, right at the edge, edge appliance level of a the an attack, a ransomware attack. So we detect real time detection, at the edge and automatic mitigation. So it's automated. And and then you will also get a comprehensive reporting, a report with, when the ransomware happened, the files that were impacted, the, the user that because basically, how this it worked. Let me let me be precise. Let me be more precise. The way we identify the ransomware attack is by, scripts. So we will see the scripts, and then we will block the IP address that is, well, having that anomalous behavior. So, we will isolate that IP address. So in that report, you will get the IP address of the, of the user, basically, that, was impacted by the ransomware attack. We will, the report will tell you when it happened, the ransomware attack, which files were impacted, and the versions the previous versions that have been recovered. You don't have to do anything. So that is great. Now the we also integrate with other enterprise, solutions like Microsoft Sentinel. So all the logs will go to, Microsoft Sentinel. We have as well a CrowdStrike integration. We have Verones. You can also deploy Verones. You we also integrate with all the, SIM and and and all the SIM solutions. So, that is a great tool, but I wanted to call at this point. Yes. So you you have the call that the problem is going to simplify and going to give you tons of benefits, but also you have a ransomware protection on top. If you if you wish, you will have that. And it is that's very unfortunately, it's very trendy. I'm I'm a little bit fast paced, but I'm conscious of the time. So I have a few slides now about SharePoint and, AI. I can quickly cover those and then, give it to you now, Elie. Wonderful. Sounds. Thank you. Thank you for that, Hector. We are trying to cover as much as possible the full, spectrum of, Nasuni, how we can help, what are the solution, the scheme, the benefits out of, of that technology. Before we we continue, I just want to close the that poll of, last question. We can see most of the attendees here have storage size between twenty five and forty nine terabytes, and couple of people are between 200 to 500, and much. So we'll close it and move to the next one. Yeah. You can you can proceed further, after finishing. Okay. Very quickly, I'm going to cover, SharePoint. Okay. That is something we we are seeing all the time now. SharePoint is great. And don't take me wrong. The many of our customers, they use SharePoint as part of their Microsoft, three six five and and is is a great tool to use. So, now the downside of SharePoint, and it's great for office files. You might have all the files which are not good for SharePoint. The downside with SharePoint is the cost. So we have a you can use Nasuni as a SharePoint as a SharePoint lifecycle management solution. So with that said, what you can do with Nasuni, and I don't want to get too much into details because otherwise we are running out of time. But what you can do is you offload SharePoint sites into, Nasuni. And then, so that immediately is going to reduce your SharePoint bill if you have surpassed your kind of free storage capacity that you get with SharePoint by your agreements. But still, with, with this, with this, life cycle management solution, with Nasuni, so the data will flow in the back end to the Nasuni platform. So the other thing that you get, okay, you offload, so you get cost savings because you upload into Nasuni. The data, the files are still searchable and, discoverable discoverable through, SharePoint. But the all the other thing that you get is that the data, the file that is immediately better protected because you have in Nasuni, which is backed by your cloud object, storage of choice, is is protected against ransomware, is built in backup, and there's no retention well, we have retention on service. You can keep the files as long as you win as you wish. So that's you get a lot of benefits by offloading that, SharePoint into, the Nasuni platform. So that's one thing I wanted to touch on. And, if someone wants to, deep delve with us on that point, we have SMEs. I've been doing calls. Oh, sorry. I'm not on the stage. I'm sorry. And we have SMEs, and we've been doing calls, with our experts on how does it work, and happy to have that, one to one discussion. And then the other point, I'm not going to this is, migration path, but we don't have much time. And but we can cover in a one to one call. The other point, which was, okay, we discussed about we we published this as an modernized job file storage infrastructure in the a of in the age of AI. And, yes, Dash three. So we are not an AI solution. We are not. However, we enable, companies to better use AI more efficiently. So one of the things is because you move to Nasuni, so we are going to unify all your file data in one single source of truth. So you have a single repository with all your data. Now the good thing is that we don't replicate data. There's no replication with Nasuni. Forget about replication. There's no replicated data. You moved the right data to Nasuni. And and also you have something that we didn't cover today because I don't have time. It's a lot of to talk. But we have a solution or, yeah, it's a tool that is embedded in our solution that gives you that visibility across the entire platform. And that gives you analytics, and it's a it's a it's a visibility tool about what is going on. You have very comprehensive dashboards about what is going on in the Fireflies product, how your users are accessing that pie data, How they are interacting with the data? The size of the folders? How inactive or, do you have to archive this this file data? So because of that, you can use also that tool to create to file the create the data as in Nasuni. So at the end of the day, you have a single source of truth with all your pilot that unified all that data, all file data in the cloud. That's one thing that you get. And that's great. The better the better is your data, the better is going to be your AI outcome. When you leverage an AI model, the better the cleanest is your data, the better is going to be the outcome. So that's one thing you get with Nasuni. And very quickly, and I'm going to stop here. So we know that data scientists are good for when it comes to when it comes to, AI. And, again, with Nasuni is a unified, source, for your your file data, which is great for AIs. And so let me get into this. I'm gonna skip this part. Right. You have your data unified in one single global m s space, but also you want to you may want to you want that data as well to be accessible from anywhere. Right? So, and you may have, let's talk about agentic. Right? You have an agent, that you, you you deploy in a specific, office, and then you want to access the data. So that's great. With Nasuni, what you have is you can move the data so that the data is accessible from anywhere. So you can have, your AI tool that is deployed in a specific office. And with Nasuni, it's great because the data will move. You can access that data from anywhere, where from the edge appliance, basically. So, that's what you get with Nasuni. You have a unified access to all your, your file data, to all your created and clean data. So, again, we are not an AI tool. However, we enable companies to more efficiently leverage AI tools, because your data is in the cloud. Now that's another thing. Because your data is in the cloud, you may have an edge upwinds as well in the cloud. And then if the AI tool is in the cloud, that is going to be closer to the data. So the closer it is, the better. And and then we are going to because if you want to ask, for example, a five zero one us with a a cloud tool, so from cloud to on prem, then you have the it needs to be SMB access that is going to be clunky and slow. But if you have the data in the cloud, that is going to be more efficient to leverage, those AI tools. But again, as well, you have that, portability of the data across the different edge appliance that you can leverage the AI tools, across any offices. So we have a well integration with Copilot so the data I don't have to guide to go into this. But we also, you we can the data that is in Nasuni will be presented to the Graph connector, and it can be and therefore, you can see in Copilot. So you can you can use Copilot as well with your data in in in Nasuni. So lots of things here. I'm going to pause here, but you can see as a summary, and I promise to pause here as a summary. Nasuni is a hybrid cloud file at the platform, that is going to solve all those challenges that we mentioned before. And the good thing is one single file data platform. And and it's going to unify your file data and is going to, is going to reduce complexity. It's going to be cheaper. It's going to be easier to manage. It's going to help you as well to, adopt, cloud and adopt AI. And you have a SharePoint use case that is going to help you with that. Thank you very much. That is for me. I know it's a lot of information. And, again, I would be, in I will be delighted to have a one to one call with our partners as well to, discuss further on your specific use cases on how Nasuni might help. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you, Hector. I can see a lot of coming questions, and promising to start one on one meetings with everyone, who was interested. We'll be closing the last, the before the last question, the simple question that we are raising here, at the end. What is your monthly five storage draw? Because this is this is a big problem that all big companies who has big five storages, to pay for it and to expect how much they will, forecast, the storage size. I would go from myself present Digital Future Middle East very, very, very fast. As well for those who don't know our company, we are Digital Future Middle East. We are a company established in UAE. Our head office is there. We have another office in Saudi. We do cover, and, serve the complete, decision from our offices. Established seven years back. We started with the skills uplifting and threat augmentation for one of the major vendors in the region, Google Cloud. So most of the some programs like Google for start ups, Google for developers, Google Maps, YouTube, all these folks are running under the secure channel. We have established our cloud tech arm, to help customers across the region to use adopt the cloud, in in the region with the new, data centers coming, especially from Google in Saudi, Qatar, Kuwait, and so on, and and it's on in the region. As part of our main partnership, Nasuni is one of them, but we are also a Google, partner, and we are also a GitLab partner we serve in the region. Our methodology is very straightforward. We help customers across the whole, aspects starting from consultancy to solution design and offering. We do the implementation and the rollouts. We also cover the management and the support and the, professional sales and management, post the implementation, and we continue with our review and optimization cycle once it comes to our methodology. As part of, our complete three sixty portfolio, we have customers adopt the cloud from cloud strategy, assessment, planning, cloud migration, and optimization. We are also security specialized, so we do cover it in all aspects from, on prem to on cloud to hybrid using third party vendors. As well, we do modernization. This is where Nasuni come in place when we talk about modernizing file storage and so on. And we ended up with our operation access must come to manage services, support, implementation. And here, we we have all our customers maintained that architecture, the standard infrastructure, from all aspects. I'm going super fast because we still have four minutes. We'll go over that fast slide when it comes to migration because I've seen Akram and many other, asking about that question. We will tackle it on the one to one meeting, how we can help you, use Nasuni in your environment. We will do assessment for you. So we'll start assessing your current infrastructure, your current environment. Where is where is your storage file sitting? You are on a hybrid, so this is our practice. So we assess, then we plan, then we help you in the solution. Me and Hector as well will be helping you to position all kind of report, ROI, DCOs for for your management. So to really showcase the business use case of of Nasuni and how we can really help you, giving you a full spectrum of of the solution. This is how we can really be your extended arm as it comes to the business and the technical part. Yeah. That's it. Maybe there's still one one slide that we can cover. So study that we are, digital future, we are the partner of Nasuni in the region, and we are, ready to help you in all kind of implementation and support all the way being with, part of Google where we can put your, storage files or integrated through Nasuni and Google Cloud, hybrid with your on prem storage size and as well, once it comes to multi cloud, work, this is our work and really happy to have you here. Not sure if anyone has any more question before we wrap up. Would love to see any question coming in the q and a so we can answer it. And as well, I would pull in the last, question in the poll was, what is your multi file storage growth? 80% are saying that the one terabytes, and one of them is between one and five terabytes, which is big size. Maybe this is your account. Yeah. Amazing. Let's go and check if there is any other questions in the q and a that were not answered. Yeah. Libo was asking how often are file changes snapshoted. Do we have an answer for this? And I can see Ario who responded back. Yeah. What are the capacity limits in Nasuni? There is no hard limits. Thank you, Ario. We have discussed about the integration part with other cloud founders. This was not answered. Maybe you can take it very fast. We are sort of the integration with Office three sixty five. So, I mean, integration per se, something that we we touch on a lot more in the, is a life cycle management. It's a not soon as a SharePoint lifecycle management. From a integration per se, our customers, they keep using the, Microsoft Office three sixty five. That is obviously that's that's something we come, and we we still use that. So that's how we the the way we can integrate is, I would say, more from a Copilot perspective because we you can't present that data. The data is not something that will be presented to the Microsoft Web Collector, and then it will be, in in your Copilot. So that's the way, I can say that we can integrate. And then you can use, when it come to SharePoint, you can use as a SharePoint, life cycle management. So very, very quickly, but we can have a more, detailed discussion on that. No. Is there any other question raised here in the q and a? I think I'm not I think it's good. I think it's I think we are good. Yep. I think and we we are just at the top of the hour. So so post the webinar, will, everyone will be receiving the recording of that session, I believe, and the presentation. I'll be reaching out, one on one to each one of you. We'll definitely set up our upcoming, meetings to dig deeper into your current situation, your current infrastructure, your current challenges that you are facing so we can help you and properly set up the best solution for each one of you. Thank you again for attending this program, and hopefully, it was beneficial for everyone here. Looking forward to our upcoming webinar. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, everyone. Take care.
