Case Study: Barry Isett & Associates achieves fast, enterprise-grade file access and 50% cost savings with Nasuni

Simplifying the Storage Ecosystem

Barry Isett & Associates is a full‑service consulting engineering firm with five regional offices whose designers and engineers rely on large Revit and 3D files. As file sizes ballooned (from a few MB to hundreds), the firm’s WAN‑acceleration setup and two‑person IT team struggled with latency, slow saves, complex remote backups, limited mobile access and rapidly growing storage needs.

BIA migrated 7 TB to the Nasuni Service and deployed branch Filers (keeping its Microsoft DFS front end), giving users local, gigabit‑class access to large design files. The solution centralized management and automatic versioned protection, enabled secure mobile access and improved collaboration, avoided a costly WAN upgrade, delivered roughly 50% savings versus the prior setup, and provides unlimited, on‑demand scalability.
