Nasuni Accelerates Cloud Transformation in AEC Sector to Meet Data Infrastructure Needs

Driving Cloud Transformation in the AEC Sector

Nasuni, a pioneering unified file data platform, is making significant strides in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) sector, responding to an increasing demand for modern data infrastructure. As businesses in this industry adapt to growing technological challenges, Nasuni emerges as a vital contributor to their transformation journey.

In just 24 months, Nasuni has achieved an impressive 189% growth in managed data. Today, it supports over 250 global AEC firms, including eight of the ten largest firms in the United States alone. This remarkable achievement reflects a broader trend within the sector, where AEC companies are recognizing the need for scalable, secure, and high-performing file data platforms. As they face intensified cyber threats, Nasuni is helping these organizations foster global collaboration while fortifying their cybersecurity measures.

The Landscape of Challenges and Solutions

Companies in the AEC sector encounter unique hurdles, particularly when managing large files and necessitating collaboration among remote teams working in often challenging locations. According to Nasuni's 2025 industry report, "The Era of Hybrid Cloud Storage: How AI and Cybersecurity Are Shaping Enterprise Storage Strategies," the findings illustrate significant trends:

- A staggering 81% of AEC firms now leverage hybrid cloud models, acknowledging the importance of combining on-site performance with the flexibility of the cloud.
- 76% of these firms faced a cyber attack in the previous year, often spending over five weeks on average to recover, highlighting the critical need for robust disaster recovery solutions.
- The top anticipated benefits of adopting cloud infrastructure include scalability and improved collaboration—areas where Nasuni excels.

As Robb Muench, IT Infrastructure Operations Team Manager at The Walsh Group, remarked, "With our teams spread across the country and large construction files constantly in flux, we needed a solution that could keep pace with the speed and complexity of modern construction. Nasuni has revolutionized our data management and protection approach. We can seamlessly collaborate across time zones, quickly recover from ransomware attacks, and scale our storage without the fear of running out of space or slowing down crucial workflows."
