Nasuni grabs money again

Nasuni, a long time player in cloud storage gateway, is still alive despite a lack of visibility. The company founded in 2008 needs a new round of financing and just unveiled $25M for a total of $147M, wow.

With the cloud swallowing more and more data and the file storage offerings present in the cloud, the positioning of Nasuni becomes a bit fragile. Avere understood that move and got acquired by Microsoft one year ago. The two other players, Nasuni and Panzura, are getting a bit confidential and seem to lose the window of market opportunity. We'll see but again the company was founded in 2008 and is not yet profitable, it's a real sign. Is this business a profitable one with current market climate? not sure. On the other side, who cold be the acquirer? and at what value?
