Back to All Partners Nasuni INVITE Networks is a Nasuni cloud file storage partner, deploying unified file infrastructure for enterprise and mid-market organizations in Salt Lake City and Phoenix. INVITE handles platform deployment, edge appliance rollout, and cloud integration — so customers get one global file namespace across every office and cloud without maintaining a rack of aging file servers. TL;DR: INVITE Networks deploys and manages Nasuni’s cloud file platform to consolidate NAS, file servers, backup, and disaster recovery into one governed, cloud-backed system. This page is for IT directors and infrastructure leaders evaluating a Nasuni partner who can own the file infrastructure, not just license the software. What does INVITE Networks deliver as a Nasuni partner? INVITE Networks deploys and manages the Nasuni File Data Platform, which fuses cloud object storage with enterprise file services — permissions, versioning, and a global namespace — to give organizations high-performance file access from every location without traditional file servers. Nasuni consolidates NAS, distributed file servers, backup, disaster recovery, and multi-site file synchronization into a single platform backed by AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or Oracle Cloud. INVITE’s role covers the deployment work most IT teams don’t want to own: sizing and installing edge appliances at each office, migrating data off legacy file servers, and configuring cloud-side policies for versioning and disaster recovery. Customers get a single, governed namespace across every site without dedicating internal staff to run the underlying infrastructure. Why do Salt Lake City and Phoenix organizations choose INVITE for Nasuni cloud file storage? Organizations in Salt Lake City and Phoenix with multiple offices or remote teams often end up with file data scattered across aging NAS boxes and file servers at each site, each with its own backup process and none of them talking to each other. That sprawl makes disaster recovery unreliable and file access between sites slow and inconsistent. INVITE brings the local infrastructure expertise to consolidate that sprawl into a single Nasuni environment and keep it running as offices and data volumes grow. A multi-office professional services firm with locations in both Salt Lake City and Phoenix was running separate file servers at each site, with backups that frequently failed silently and no consistent way for staff to access shared files between offices. INVITE deployed Nasuni edge appliances at both locations, migrating file data into a single cloud-backed namespace with automated versioning. The firm eliminated its legacy backup infrastructure entirely and cut file server hardware refresh costs going forward, while giving staff at both offices real-time access to the same file set. How does INVITE manage Nasuni as part of its cloud and infrastructure services? Nasuni deployments are typically delivered through INVITE’s managed services practice, which covers ongoing edge appliance monitoring, cloud storage cost management, and file data lifecycle policies so the platform keeps pace with a customer’s growth instead of requiring periodic hardware refreshes. For customers consolidating file infrastructure as part of a broader cloud migration, INVITE also draws on its cloud solutions practice to architect the connectivity between offices and cloud storage backends that makes a Nasuni deployment perform consistently across every location. What Nasuni services does INVITE deploy and manage? INVITE architects and manages Nasuni deployments based on a customer’s office footprint and data profile. Edge appliances are deployed at each physical location to provide local-speed file access while writing changes back to the cloud object storage tier. INVITE configures global file locking and multi-site synchronization so teams across different offices can work from the same files without version conflicts, and sets up cloud-based backup and disaster recovery policies that eliminate the need for separate backup infrastructure. INVITE also manages the ongoing operational side of a Nasuni environment: monitoring appliance health, tuning cache sizing as usage patterns change, and adjusting cloud storage tiering to keep costs predictable as data volumes grow.

Frequently Asked Questions: Nasuni Cloud File Storage Is INVITE an authorized Nasuni partner? Yes. INVITE Networks is an authorized Nasuni partner, with engineers trained to design, deploy, and manage the Nasuni File Data Platform across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Oracle Cloud backends. Can INVITE manage Nasuni if we don’t have an internal storage team? Yes. Most organizations running Nasuni don’t have staff dedicated to managing file infrastructure full-time. INVITE handles edge appliance deployment, cloud policy configuration, and ongoing monitoring as part of a managed services engagement, so customers get a modern file platform without building out internal infrastructure staff. What makes Nasuni different from traditional NAS and file servers? Nasuni’s core differentiator is its patented architecture that combines cloud object storage with full enterprise file services in one system, eliminating the need for separate NAS boxes, backup software, and disaster recovery infrastructure at each site. INVITE configures that architecture so customers get one global namespace instead of managing storage location by location. How long does a Nasuni deployment take with INVITE? Timelines depend on the number of sites and how much existing file data needs to be migrated, but a typical initial deployment — covering edge appliance installation and baseline migration for one site — runs three to five weeks. Additional sites are usually rolled out on a staggered schedule to avoid disrupting active work.
