NaviSite has introduced NaviCloud Intelligent Storage (NCIS), enabling organizations to store, manage, and protect distributed, unstructured content. NCIS offers IT divisions a managed cloud storage solution that complements existing storage and retention requirements and addresses new business needs for mobility and on-demand storage. NCIS joins NaviSite’s established enterprise-class hosting, managed application, managed messaging and managed cloud services.

NCIS leverages the EMC Atmos cloud platform to make the cloud a viable option for organizations looking to outsource IT infrastructures to lower capital and operational costs.
