Nasuni VP of Technical Marketing Tom Rose discusses the trend of “cloud washing” products that aren’t cloud-native. Large infrastructure vendors, are trying to stay relevant in the cloud era. They are acquiring cloud companies to offer new cloud services, but in the file storage category, the challenge they face is that their technologies were not designed for the cloud. So, when they “lift-and-shift” their software and hardware into the cloud, many of the advantages the cloud offers – lower cost, simpler IT administration, unlimited capacity on-demand – are not realized. This session addresses key differentiators of being cloud-native through several customer use cases and side-by-side cost comparisons.
