Nasuni, a unified file data platform, has announced the promotion of Nick Burling to Chief Product Officer (CPO) and the introduction of two new Model Context Protocol (MCP) solutions.
Burling promoted to shape product roadmap and build on AI momentum
Formerly Nasuni’s senior vice president of product, Burling will continue to help shape Nasuni’s multi-product roadmap in his new role and advance the company’s mission to deliver an unstructured data management platform.
Additionally, he will help Nasuni continue to build on the momentum of NDS and MCP as the organization’s product roadmap focuses on “enabling customers to manage and activate unstructured data securely and at scale in the age of AI.”
“I’m thrilled to join our executive team and investors in building the next growth chapter for Nasuni,” said Burling. “Enterprises are looking for more than storage; they need a foundation that can actively power AI and data-driven insights. NDS and the MCP solutions are core to that vision, opening new ways to activate data securely and at scale and advancing a product roadmap designed to make unstructured data not just protected, but truly intelligent.”
Burling first joined the organization in 2021, bringing with him experience in product management and strategy at startups and tech giants, IBM and Microsoft.
“Under Nick’s leadership, Nasuni has transformed from a single product into an end-to-end platform with a strategic vision for making unstructured data storage intelligent and actionable in the age of AI,” said Sam King, CEO of Nasuni. “His strategic thinking, customer focus, and unmatched energy embody our commitment to innovation and customer success. I’m thrilled to see him step into the Chief Product Officer role as we enter this exciting next phase of growth.”
Two new MCP solutions mitigate migration and integration concerns
Further, the organization made two product announcements, advancing the company’s AI strategy.
The Desktop MCP Solution and the Nasuni Management MCP Solution are now available. Both products build on their recent File IQ Premium and Ops IQ solutions, making enterprise data available for advanced workloads and AI services without duplication, costly migrations, or complex integrations.
The new solutions allow natural language interactions with file data and Nasuni management tools from any local client supporting the MCP standard. The solutions also “enable safe, conversational engagement with files and real-time administrative insights, helping IT teams and knowledge workers unlock the full potential of their unstructured data with ease.”
The two solutions are both freely available through the Nasuni Labs page on GitHub.
