Following a $60m (£47.8m) growth equity investment from Sixth Street in March, file data services Nasuni has bought the technology and products of DBM Cloud Systems, Inc, a cloud migration technology provider for hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
The acquisition of DBM will enable Nasuni to bolster its capabilities around data mobility, including cloud data migration, intelligent tiering and enhanced multi-cloud support.
“We are making file data migration, tiering and data movement between clouds a frictionless service,” said Paul Flanagan, CEO at Nasuni. “Today, enterprises don’t want to lock in all their data with a single cloud but are instead adopting a multi-cloud approach. DBM’s technology and the expertise we’ve gained will enable Nasuni to accelerate and innovate our support for data migration, multi-cloud and data mobility.”
The agreement sees Joe Slember, formerly DBM’s senior VP of engineering, join Nasuni as VP of engineering, leading its data mobility team.
“At DBM, we built technology that automates data migration and management between clouds while simplifying the movement of data among them,” added Slember. “By combining the technology with Nasuni’s file data services platform, users will gain faster file data migrations and more intelligent tiering, saving significant time and costs.”
