Chapter 1: Installing on the Amazon EC2 Platform Overview This chapter explains the recommended procedure for the initial installation of the Nasuni Filer or the Nasuni Management Console on the Amazon EC2 platform. For additional information on the initial configuration of the Nasuni Filer, see the Nasuni Filer Initial Configuration Guide. For additional information on the initial configuration of the Nasuni Management Console, see the Nasuni Management Console Guide. Note: The vendor changes their interfaces occasionally with little notice to the users. The exact screens and text on these platforms might change at any time. Nasuni NAS Nasuni delivers an advanced storage solution using a cloud infrastructure. The core technology is a next-generation storage controller the Nasuni Filer that offers the security and performance of traditional storage, while adding unlimited scalability, automatic offsite protection, and global multi-site access to files. The Nasuni system is managed through a single, small-footprint point of control within the enterprise s data center. The Nasuni Filer is an on-premises storage device supporting NFS, CIFS, FTP/SFTP, iscsi, and HTTP/ REST protocols. The Nasuni Filer is fully integrated with Active Directory, LDAP, Distributed File System (DFS), and Windows Previous Versions. It includes a high-performance cache and takes periodic snapshots that enable file-level restores. Its reach and capacity far exceed those of a traditional controller, however, because it does not rely only on memory and local disk to manage its data: it has the entire capacity of the cloud at its disposal. All data is deduplicated, compressed, and encrypted before storage. Several choices are available for the back-end cloud storage component, including the following: Nasuni s integrated service, which includes a Nasuni-managed Microsoft Azure account. Your own public cloud service from Microsoft Azure Blob Storage or Amazon AWS S3. Installing the Nasuni Filer on the EC2 Platform 7

Installing on the Amazon EC2 Platform Nasuni Filer Private cloud products, including Cleversafe and EMC ViPR/ECS and Atmos. The choices for the back-end cloud storage component are part of each customer license. Each volume has only one back-end cloud storage component. Multi-site access enables organizations with several locations to work on a single set of shared data. Nasuni s architecture allows multiple storage controllers to have live access to the same volume of data. Organizations benefit by having a simple, safe, and secure way to share data across any number of sites. Nasuni s multi-site access enables capabilities that include: Secure data distribution to remote office/branch office (ROBO). Remote offices forwarding data to a central point. Two-way synchronized read-write. Multi-site access does away with cumbersome replication schemes and slow WAN optimizers. Nasuni Filer Nasuni s NAS is delivered through the Nasuni Filer, a storage controller that runs in your data center and provides primary storage with built-in backup, offsite protection, and multi-site access. With your Nasuni Filer, you manage your volumes and performance using the Web-based Nasuni Filer user interface. The Nasuni Filer is available as a virtual appliance, as a hardware appliance, and as a Microsoft Azure and Amazon EC2 virtual appliance. Nasuni Management Console The Nasuni Management Console enables you to monitor and manage many Nasuni Filers from one central appliance. Using the Nasuni Management Console, you can view the status of all of your managed Nasuni Filers, as well as configure their settings. Using the Nasuni Management Console, you can ensure consistent settings on all your Nasuni Filers. Note: If a Nasuni Filer loses internet connectivity with the Nasuni Management Console, the Nasuni Filer can still leave the Nasuni Management Console. Installing the Nasuni Filer on the EC2 Platform 8

Installing on the Amazon EC2 Platform Creating a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) Creating a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) Before launching the Amazon Machine Image (AMI) for the Nasuni Filer, you must create a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). If you already have a VPC, you can use the existing VPC. Using a VPC gives you more control over networking features, such as assigning static addresses and enabling Active Directory or LDAP in the cloud. Important: You must create and maintain your own AWS account. Nasuni does not have access to your AWS account. To gain access to the Nasuni AMIs, contact Nasuni Technical Support with your AWS account number. To create an EC2 account, visit http:// aws.amazon.com/ec2/. Important: This procedure assumes that you have already configured Active Directory, LDAP, and any domain controllers in the cloud. To create a VPC on the AWS web site: 1. Launch your Web browser. 2. Go to the Amazon Web Services VPC console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/vpc. The VPC Dashboard appears. 3. Click Start VPC Wizard. The Create an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud screen appears. 4. Select the type of VPC that suits your networking needs best from the following types of VPC: VPC with a Single Public Subnet Only. VPC with Public and Private Subnets. VPC with Public and Private Subnets and Hardware VPN Access. VPC with a Private Subnet Only and Hardware VPN Access. 5. Click Continue. Depending on the type of VPC you selected in step 4, different screens appear for the VPC Wizard. Complete each screen with settings appropriate for your networking needs. Important: Whichever type of VPC you selected in step 4, ensure that you only provide a single network interface to the Nasuni Filer, and ensure that you assign an IP address to the Nasuni Filer. 6. After completing all screens of the VPC Wizard, click Create VPC. A message appears notifying you that the VPC is created. 7. On the VPC Dashboard, click DHCP Options Sets in the left-hand menu.
