Ensuring the financial well-being of the military and their families

USAA is a Fortune 500 provider of financial services to active and retired members of the US military and their

families. As part of a strategic initiative to improve customer service, USAA is implementing virtual desktop

infrastructure (VDI) to give its employees secure access to their digital workspaces from any location and any

device. But VDI only addresses desktop mobility. How would USAA provide the same anywhere, anytime access

to its growing number of files, home directories, and project shares? A hybrid cloud solution using EMC object

storage and Nasuni’s cloud-based global file system was the answer. USAA is now consolidating all its Windows

file servers on Nasuni and EMC, providing capacity on-demand for end users and simplifying share and volume

management, backup, and DR for IT. By getting out of the desktop and storage hardware refresh business, USAA

can focus on what really matters – ensuring the financial well-being of its military clients and their families.

Transforming government IT into a revenue-generating MSP

Ohio, the state that gave us eight presidents and the inventors of the airplane, also boasts an innovative

government IT group. With the help of CDW, they’re implementing Dell EMC ECS and Nasuni to transform

themselves into an MSP, and offer robust file services to 500+ agencies state-wide. With Nasuni’s global file

system powered by ECS object storage, agencies such as the Department of Transportation can store and

synchronize files across all sites without any capacity constraints or single points of failure. Nasuni Edge

Appliances that cache active data locally ensure employees in any location have the high-performance file access

they need to drive revenue and deliver essential services. And with all files, shares, and volumes consolidated in a

single solution, with backup, archive, and disaster recovery all built-in, IT has a modern, easy-to-manage, and

cost-effective file infrastructure to lead Ohio.gov far into the future.

Making medical image repository scalable and HIPAA-compliant

ARA handles the majority of imaging studies in central Texas, adding more than 900,000 radiological exams each

year. These images have grown in both volume and size, as MRIs, CT scans, and mammograms continue to

improve in fidelity and resolution. A new 3D mammography image, for example, is 20 times larger than its 2D

predecessor. This massive growth, combined with strict medical and legal retention policies, meant ARA could no

longer afford to rely on its legacy EMC storage infrastructure. The combination of Nasuni enterprise file services

and Azure object storage is providing the on-demand capacity ARA needs to expand to an estimated 1.5 PB by

2020. Image retrieval is faster, improving the quality of patient care. HIPAA compliance and IT storage operations

are easier, with the complex mix of on-premises arrays, backup software, forklift data migrations, and DR

eliminated. And the cost savings of nearly $1.2M is enabling ARA to tackle other strategic IT projects.

Supporting PACS image growth and mitigating Ransomware

Faith Regional is one of Nebraska’s fastest-growing health systems. To better serve patients, especially in its

highly regarded cardiology department, the health services organization has invested in multiple PACS systems.

With each new system upgrade, typically every 3 years, the size and complexity of the images increases. When

Faith Regional’s HPE SAN could no longer handle the demand, the IT team looked to the cloud for a solution.

Could they get unlimited capacity, fast image retrieval, more frequent backups to eradicate Ransomware, HIPAA

compliance, and geo-redundancy to protect their data against ”Tornado Alley” threats – all in one solution? With

the combination of Nasuni enterprise file services and Azure object storage, the answer is yes. And saving over

$1M in the process by replacing legacy SAN, backup, and DR infrastructure.

Curing rare diseases faster and at lower cost

Shire is a leading pharmaceutical company and a biotech pioneer in the treatment of rare diseases. With its

medicines available in more than 100 countries, Shire is in a position to provide solutions that enable more

patients and families around the world to live their lives to the fullest. Supporting Shire’s operations are petabytes

of unstructured data that must be shared by teams of researchers, engineers, marketing, legal, and administrative

personnel across many offices. Protecting this critical data is just as important. When traditional NAS, backup,

and DR solutions could no longer keep pace with Shire’s file infrastructure needs, they turned to a limitless private

cloud solution based on Dell EMC ECS and Nasuni enterprise file services. Nasuni’s global file system that lives

within ECS object storage is enabling Shire to share, protect, and manage files in project directories and group

shares with greater efficiency and less cost. So the Shire team can focus on what really matters – life.

Discoveringnext-generation treatments through collaborative research

Pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline aims to help people do more, feel better, and live longer. It depends on

scientific innovation from globally distributed research teams to fulfill this mission. Dell EMC ECS object storage

and Nasuni hybrid cloud file services delivered through partner CDI are enabling GSK R&D teams in the UK and

US to efficiently collaborate on the same scientific data. Gone are the slow NetApp NAS replication times,

Robocopies, and out-of-space issues that restricted file access. Now the research centers are unified under a

single global file server that offers limitless capacity (critical for a group that can write 8-12 TB of files daily),

continuous file versioning (to replace problematic backup), and simplified volume and share management. Jointly

driven by the Computation Molecular Sciences and Enterprise Information Systems (EIS) groups, GSK is now

focusing less on file storage and sharing issues and more on discovering the next generation of treatments.

adidas is the second-largest maker of sporting goods and apparel in the world. Its core brands – adidas and

Reebok – have some of the strongest identities in sport. The company’s “Creating the New” 5-year business plan

aims to make adidas “the first true fast sports company” – fast in satisfying consumer needs and fast in internal

decision-making. When its global design teams could no longer collaborate effectively on increasingly large

Illustrator and Photoshop files, adidas realized a cloud-scale file sharing solution was needed. Its design and IT

teams jointly selected Nasuni’s cloud-based file system powered by Amazon S3 object storage as its new global

file infrastructure. With unlimited space for project directories, cross-site collaboration without version conflict, and

faster file recoveries, adidas can focus on its core competency – sport – and the power sport has to inspire people

and change lives.

Absolut Vodka and Jameson Irish Whiskey are two reasons Pernod Ricard is the world’s second largest producer

of wine and spirits. In its drive to become #1, the company is executing a strategic growth plan based on four

essentials, the first of which is reducing cost and complexity through digital transformation to achieve operational

excellence. CANCOM delivered Nasuni enterprise file services backed by Azure Storage to help Pernod Ricard

achieve this goal. The joint solution provides secure, limitless file storage capacity and high-performance file

access to 6 locations throughout Europe, consolidating hard-to-manage and harder-to-scale NAS. Nasuni’s

continuously versioning global file system eliminates the need for traditional file backup, which was causing slow

recoveries and up to 7 days of downtime. By unifying file data management under a single cloud-scale solution,

Nasuni and Azure are ensuring files don’t stand in the way of Pernod Ricard’s race to the top of its market.

Getting games to market faster and with higher quality

Electronic Arts is one of the most popular and successful video game makers in the world. The code that makes

up its best-selling titles is developed at multiple locations in 4 continents. Sharing this code and running daily

software builds was taking longer and costing more as the company grew. Realizing its NetApp NAS environment

could no longer keep pace, EA turned to the cloud, first trying Panzura cloud gateway technology. When that

solution could not offer the necessary scale, EA turned to Nasuni enterprise file services, powered by its cloud-

native file system and Amazon object storage. Today, with more than 500 TBs stored using Nasuni, EA is able to

complete more than 30 game builds a day using a follow-the-sun development and testing model - a 10X increase

over when it was using on-premises NAS. With file sharing, collaboration, and protection no longer issues, EA is

accelerating time-to-market for its games. And making the world’s teenagers much happier.
