Transforming File Data Management: Getting Fit for AI

Enterprise storage has become a challenge for many sectors, but the stakes are particularly high for the oil and gas industry. Reliable access to the cloud is critical in order to maintain connection to oil rigs and construction sites around the world, but their remote locations add a layer of complexity. On top of that, the sensitive nature of industry data makes these companies vulnerable to ransomware attacks. The oil and gas sector needs the ability to store and share large seismic files on a global scale — while maintaining the sanctity of data — but this is easier said than done.

To combat this challenge both today and tomorrow, Nasuni has created the industry’s first Blueprint for Unstructured Data. This guidance is designed to help IT leaders meet their responsibility of putting data first. If something fatal happens to your company’s intellectual property, housed within years of file data, this could put your entire organization at risk. Companies can’t be expected to handle this new landscape without the right support; Nasuni’s Blueprint is created specifically to aid the oil and gas industry through this process.

In the latest webinar from Nasuni, storage security experts will break down why the oil and gas industry needs to be paying attention to file storage and illuminate the key components of the Blueprint.

Tune in to uncover:
— What it means for IT to be responsible for the Sanctity of Data
— Why traditional file infrastructure and backups are inadequate for oil & gas companies today
— The 5 critical elements of the Blueprint for Unstructured Data for IT leaders
