Introduction
In a world where data is becoming ever more crucial, Nasuni has emerged as a leader in unified file data platforms. On July 29, 2025, the company unveiled two innovative tools: File IQ Premium and Ops IQ. These offerings are designed to provide intelligence layers that can fundamentally change how companies gain insight from unstructured data and machine data.
Advanced Features
Real-Time Analytics and Operational Insights
Both File IQ Premium and Ops IQ come equipped with functionalities that provide real-time analytics and operational visibility. These advancements allow global IT teams to not only secure and store their data but transform huge volumes of unstructured file data into actionable insights. Such capabilities contribute to operational agility and prepare organizations to leverage artificial intelligence more efficiently.
John Stachlewicz, a service leader at DOW, has shared the positive impact of these tools: “The proactive alerts and reports from File IQ gave us the visibility we needed to stay ahead of storage challenges and make faster, smarter decisions.” With Ops IQ, he noted that the same level of intelligence extends to infrastructure, offering operational insights via the Nasuni portal without deploying additional resources. This brings data-driven control to different levels of an organization.
Unified Intelligence Layer
As organizations' IT departments face increasing demands for secure governance and justification of their data pools, File IQ and Ops IQ address these needs with a unified intelligence layer. This layer enhances data visibility and control across the entire file environment. File IQ Premium specifically boasts tools that facilitate in-depth analysis and discovery, helping IT departments identify usage patterns, anomalies, and trends traditionally buried in data noise.
Key Capabilities of File IQ Premium
- - AI-Ready Data Structuring: Prepares metadata for machine learning and AI initiatives.

The Future of Filers and Operational Intelligence
As Nick Burling, Senior Vice President of Products at Nasuni, stated, “Unstructured data shows no signs of slowing down in enterprises, making it vital to accelerate the insights gleaned from this information.” The combination of File IQ and Ops IQ effectively turns the file system from a quiet repository into an active intelligence layer, providing customers with the visibility and autonomy needed in a data-centric future.
These two services represent the next generation of intelligence for enterprise file systems, where infrastructure not only stores and protects data but also helps organizations comprehend and leverage this vital resource. One confirmed benefit is how File IQ has enabled organizations to identify their most accessed files instantly, alerting them of capacity issues before they escalate.
Conclusion
As the demand for efficient data management continues to rise, Nasuni's solutions evolve to meet these challenges. File IQ Premium is now available under capacity-based licensing tiers, while Ops IQ can be accessed at no additional cost as part of the enhanced Nasuni portal experience. Together, these offerings position Nasuni as a frontrunner in transforming unstructured data from a burden into an opportunity, helping companies across various industries optimize their data strategy effectively.
