Nasuni Acquires Resilio to Accelerate Edge File Access & AI

Nasuni has acquired Resilio to strengthen high-speed file synchronization and edge acceleration capabilities within its cloud-native file services platform.

The Boston-based unstructured data management vendor announced March 4 that the deal brings Resilio’s file synchronization and caching technology into the Nasuni File Data Platform. 

The combined offering is designed to improve end-user access to shared content across distributed and hybrid environments, while reducing reliance on VPN-based access, disconnected point solutions, and hardware-heavy architectures.

Expanding cloud-native file services with edge acceleration

Nasuni said the acquisition enhances its ability to support distributed teams by improving performance and reducing friction in file access. 

“Our customers already rely on Nasuni to manage, protect, and activate their enterprise file data on a global scale. With Resilio, we’re extending our platform to help improve enterprise productivity by removing friction from how distributed teams and applications access files while continuing to simplify operations and protect IT environments,” said Sam King, chief executive officer at Nasuni.

The integration is intended to reduce dependence on standalone synchronization tools and traditional VPN connectivity, while expanding support for enterprise workloads that require consistent performance in bandwidth-constrained or remote environments.

Focus on high-speed data transfer and AI pipelines

Nasuni executives also positioned the acquisition as a step toward broader data orchestration capabilities, particularly for AI and analytics use cases.

“Resilio complements our strategy for the Nasuni File Data Platform, further strengthening our leadership in high-speed data access, distribution, and intelligent caching at the edge,” said Nasuni’s Chief Product Officer Nick Burling. 

“In addition, Resilio’s technology and talented team open up new use cases and value for our customers around high-speed data transfer and orchestration for AI and analytics pipelines,” Burling continued.

Resilio has been recognized for delivering high-performance file access in environments with limited bandwidth or geographically dispersed teams. 

Its technology is designed to maintain speed, resiliency, and flexibility in remote and edge scenarios.

“We’re proud of what the Resilio team has built, and joining Nasuni represents an exciting next step for our employees and customers,” said Resilio CEO Eric Klinker. “Together, we expect to help organizations collaborate more effectively on mission-critical content, regardless of location.”

Integration plans and customer impact

Nasuni said the acquisition is complete and that both companies are focused on a phased integration of teams, technology, and operations. 

Both companies promised in statements that existing customers and partners will continue to receive the same level of service and support during the transition.

KPMG Corporate Finance served as Resilio’s exclusive investment banking advisor on the transaction.

As Nasuni continues to execute on its evolving platform strategy, the company said it plans to share additional updates in the coming weeks.
