Nasuni has launched the general availability of AI Activate and Resilio 6.0, with Enterprise Search expected to roll out later this quarter, as the company expands its File Data Platform for enterprise artificial intelligence and unstructured data.
Combined with Nasuni’s recent acquisition of DryvIQ, the new capabilities bring content intelligence, automated governance, high-performance file access, enterprise search and governed AI activation into a single platform.
Nasuni’s approach centers on maintaining one governed copy of operational file data that can be accessed by both employees and AI systems rather than creating separate copies specifically for AI applications.
AI Activate connects AI applications and agents directly with enterprise file data through the open Model Context Protocol.
The product uses a metadata and content index designed to reduce the amount of searching AI systems must perform before identifying relevant information. Existing permissions are enforced before AI can access content.
Nasuni said AI Activate can connect live operational files with MCP-compatible AI platforms and agents without requiring organizations to build and maintain a separate AI data repository.
The company’s new Enterprise Search offering will provide hosted, permission-aware full-text search across operational file environments.
Resilio 6.0 extends the platform to edge environments through peer-to-peer file distribution. Nasuni said the technology can move governed file data at speeds of up to 200 Gbps using commodity hardware.
Potential environments include construction sites, studios, remote field offices and survey vessels where teams need fast local access to centrally governed files.
Nasuni is also integrating DryvIQ technology following its recent acquisition of the company.
DryvIQ can analyze content across more than 40 repositories, including Microsoft 365, Google Drive, Box, Amazon S3 and on-premises network-attached storage.
The technology classifies content across 550 file formats and more than 75 languages and can identify personally identifiable information, protected health information and payment card data.
Nasuni also introduced PSYCHIC, a vendor-neutral framework intended to help companies evaluate AI data readiness.
The framework focuses on seven characteristics: Proprietary, Secure, Yours, Current, Hybrid, Indexed and Continuous.
Nasuni developed the framework using research involving 1,000 enterprises along with customer feedback and discussions with industry analysts.
Customers are already applying the expanded platform to large-scale enterprise environments.
Engineering and surveying firm McKim & Creed consolidated 27 file servers onto Nasuni and reported a 50% productivity improvement among remote engineers during early Resilio testing.
Wood has moved from a fragmented legacy environment to a governed global platform and is connecting AI tools including Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT and Claude with its operational file data through AI Activate.
Omnicom Group has operated Nasuni at petabyte scale for more than a decade and is now extending that infrastructure to AI through AI Activate and Enterprise Search.
KEY QUOTES:
“Enterprise AI has moved past the hype and on to the hard part. Many organizations have achieved broad adoption of LLMs, but turning that usage into measurable business value is proving much harder. Rising token costs, limited production-scale deployments, and data governance that has not kept pace are exposing the real challenge: your advantage is not the model, but your proprietary data, your business context, your enterprise intelligence. Most companies don’t fully understand the data they have, and cannot activate it for AI safely. That is what we set out to solve: helping enterprises understand the data they have and put their own intelligence to work securely. Today, we are delivering on that promise with capabilities built on our proven file data platform architecture. We are excited to keep innovating with our customers and partners to further advance this first-of-its-kind platform.”
Sam King, Chief Executive Officer of Nasuni
“Every architectural decision we have made comes back to one principle: one governed copy of the data, wherever the business needs it. A global namespace, immutable versioning, native permission enforcement, and customer-owned object storage let enterprises meet sovereignty and residency requirements without fragmenting their environment into regional silos. It also means security teams are not approving a new data pipeline every time the business adopts an AI tool. The permissions and controls already in place carry forward automatically, to people and to agents alike.”
Nick Burling, Chief Product Officer of Nasuni
“It’s become less of a support conversation and more of an enablement conversation for the business. With AI Activate, we can now use a front end that everyone already has, whether it’s Copilot, ChatGPT or Claude, and it can reach in and actually perform these functions for our users.”
Jamie Alberts, CISO and VP of IT at Wood
