“Theย AEC industry’s entire business is dependent on file data and is in the midst of seismic change, with more digital solutions across entireย value chains, and innovative data use cases likeย digital twins, design automation,ย BIMย products, and triallingย artificial intelligenceย (AI)-basedย knowledge managementย to remain competitive and take operations to the next level”, saidย David Grant, President ofย Nasuni.“These capabilities, underpinned byย cloud-basedย file andย object storage, managed by theย Nasuniย File Data Platform, improve organizations’ competitiveness by optimizing their processes and enabling enhanced collaboration, sharing, andย data protection.”
Theย Nasuni File Data Platform integrates and supports applications like Adobeย InDesign,ย Autodeskย Revit,ย Dassault CATIA CAD,ย Siemensย Teamcenter, andย Windowsยฎ File Copy.ย Nasuni‘s intelligent edgeย cachingย allows AEC firms to leverage the infinite scale of cloudย object storageย of their choosing while meeting the needs of hybridized work environments and maintaining high performance data accessibility even for local and remote offices.
Research in 2022ย indicates that the construction industry is, alongside the education sector, the most likely target ofย ransomware attacks, makingย data protectionย and the ability to instantly recover from attacks without tying up internal resources imperative to maintaining competitive business operations. “The Nasuni-Azure snapshotting approach just works,” saidย Joe Marando, CIO at global architecture firm,ย JERDE.” If ransomwareย hits, you just go back and restore your data from right before the attack, and you get your data back.I love the file recovery functionality withย Nasuni.”

Ramboll, a leading AEC firm founded inย Denmark, with 16,500 employees in 35 countries and 300 remote offices, partners with clients to create the infrastructure behind sustainable societies. The company was relying on physical andย virtual storageย systems, backed byย NetAppย SnapMirror, at many of its global offices. The challenge of maintaining this worldwide infrastructure was significant, yetย Nasuniย successfully replaced their existing infrastructure with ease.
“We would have to do multiple updates on a weekly basis,” recalls IT Project Manager,ย Morten Madsenย ofย Ramboll. “[the current system] was not a scalable solution for a company of our size.”ย Madsenย selected theย Nasuniย File Data Platform to address the company’s storage, backup, and management problems and today,ย Rambollย trusts more than 3ย petabytesย (PB) of global file data to be stored, protected, and managed byย Nasuni.
APi Group,ย JERDE,ย Kimley-Horn,ย McLaren,ย Perkins+Will,ย Ramboll,ย SMECย (Snowy Mountainsย Engineering Corporation),ย Voessing, and theย Walsh Groupย have also selectedย Nasuniย to modernize their legacy file infrastructure, gain more value from IT investments, and recover fromย cyberattacksย likeย ransomwareย in minutes.
