Nasuni, the leading unified file data platform for hybrid cloud environments, is making a big impact in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) sector. Over the past two years, the company has seen a 189% growth in data under management, now supporting over 250 AEC firms worldwide, including 8 of the top 10 in the U.S.
As more companies demand scalable, secure, and high-performance file solutions, Nasuni is helping AEC firms embrace cloud technology, improve collaboration, and protect against growing cyber threats.
Tackling the Unique Challenges of AEC Data
AEC firms handle some of the largest and most complex files in any industry — from detailed 3D models to geographic data — all while managing teams across multiple remote and rugged job sites. Traditional file systems can’t keep up.
Nasuni’s 2025 report, The Era of Hybrid Cloud Storage: How AI and Cybersecurity Are Shaping Enterprise Storage Strategies, highlights how AEC firms are evolving:
- 81% of AEC companies now use hybrid cloud storage, balancing on-site performance with the flexibility of the cloud.
- 76% were hit by cyberattacks in the past year, and recovery often took over five weeks — showing the urgent need for built-in ransomware protection.
- The top two benefits firms look for in cloud systems are scalability and collaboration tools — two areas where Nasuni leads the pack.
Real Impact in the Field
“With teams spread across the country and massive design files in motion, we needed a smarter solution,” said Robb Muench, IT Infrastructure Operations Team Manager at The Walsh Group. “Nasuni completely changed the game for us. We can now collaborate across time zones, bounce back fast from ransomware attacks, and expand storage with zero disruption to our projects.”
What Nasuni Brings to AEC Firms
Nasuni’s File Data Platform is designed with AEC needs in mind. Key benefits include:
- High-speed performance with software like AutoCAD, Revit, Civil 3D, and ArcGIS
