Case Study: Cooley Group achieves local high-performance file access and business continuity with Nasuni

Increasing Efficiency with Local Access to Global Shared Storage

Cooley Group, a U.S. manufacturer of high‑performance fabrics, was hampered by centralized servers in its Pawtucket data center that produced latency for remote offices and slowed manufacturing, reporting, and QA workflows. With a small IT team, the company needed a way to deliver fast local file access, simplify management of distributed storage, and improve disaster recovery and business continuity.

Cooley deployed Nasuni virtual appliances in its VMware environment and Nasuni Filers at each site to create a global namespace with local performance and centralized control. The solution sped file access across offices, simplified storage management, provided unlimited version retention and off‑site protection, and increased productivity while reducing downtime and strengthening business continuity.
