UniFS as a Service (UaaS) 1.3.3

New Features and Updates

General

  • Updated the Python runtime to 3.13 and refreshed third-party dependencies.

  • Removed unused capacity-tuning parameters from the AWS and Azure deployment templates.

  • Issue 3505: Updated the urllib3 package to address security vulnerabilities.

  • Issue 4061: Removed compromised eMudhra root certificates from the trusted certificate store and updated the certifi package to address CVE-2026-111943.

AWS

  • Moved periodic background tasks to Amazon EventBridge Scheduler, ensuring that all associated schedules are removed when a stack is deleted.

NDS

  • Improved S3 Object Lambda performance during high-volume ingestion through cache tuning.

  • Improved NDS read throughput by switching to a faster decryption library.

Resolved Issues

NDS

  • Issue 3305: Fixed an issue where S3 Object Lambda GET responses could fail with a stream error.

  • Issue 3306: Reduced DynamoDB throttling errors during high-volume reads by caching the latest snapshot lookup.

  • Issue 3406: Fixed an issue where ListObjectsV2 requests using continuation tokens could return a 404 error.

  • Issue 3428: Fixed an issue where files with out-of-order data chunks could fail to download or return incorrect data.

  • Issue 3491: Fixed an issue where Azure NDS Blob requests that included both the Range and x-ms-range headers returned an incorrect byte range.

  • Issue 3555: Fixed an issue where ListObjects requests timed out on large directories when maxKeys exceeded 100.

  • Issue 3557: Fixed an issue where HeadObject and ListObjects requests failed for items without a modification time, such as directory markers.

  • Issue 3985: Fixed an issue where ListObjectsV2 returned a 500 error for directories whose listings were stored in out-of-order chunks.

  • Issue 3998: Fixed an issue where ListObjectsV2 could return a LastModified value that SDK clients could not parse.

  • Issue 4003: Fixed an issue where the NDS API Lambda logged an error every three days for its scheduled refresh event.

  • Issue 4043: Fixed an issue where Azure NDS Blob listings, HEAD, and GET requests failed with a 500 error for items with an invalid timestamp.

Important: Existing AWS deployments only

Before upgrading to version 1.3.3, update the UaaS deployment permissions stack using the latest uaas-deploy-permissions.yaml template by completing the AWS CloudFormation wizard.

This update is required because UaaS 1.3.3 manages Amazon EventBridge Scheduler schedules and updates a DynamoDB table index, operations that earlier deployment roles do not have permission to perform.

If you upgrade the UaaS stack before updating the permissions stack, the CloudFormation update will fail and roll back. The UaaS stack will remain on its current version and continue operating. To resolve this, update the permissions stack and retry the upgrade.

If the UaaS stack enters the UPDATE_ROLLBACK_FAILED state, update the permissions stack, select Continue update rollback for the UaaS stack, and then retry the upgrade.

Azure deployments do not require this change. New AWS deployments include the required permissions automatically.

Released November 3, 2026

Self-service SSO access visibility: Users can now view their own SSO-based role and permission access directly from the Roles & Permissions page.

The new My Access view shows mapped roles, the SSO groups received during sign-in, and whether each group maps to a Portal role. This helps users and administrators troubleshoot access issues faster while preserving existing role management permissions and security boundaries.

Released June 17, 2026

NEA 10.4 and NMC 26.2

New Features and Updates

S3 Edge Bucket Restriction: S3 Edge now supports bucket-level access restrictions for S3 access keys. Administrators can assign granular permission roles to individual access keys on a per-bucket basis, enabling fine-grained access control. This enhancement improves multi-tenant security and data isolation while maintaining full backward compatibility.

Note: Existing buckets with no roles configured continue to work as before.

Improved Inline Encryption Performance: The optional inline encryption library introduced in release 9.3 is now enabled by default on all appliances. This library improves encryption and decryption performance, resulting in faster data protection (time to cloud) and faster retrieval of cloud data.

The front-end performance impact that previously made this library “opt-in” has been resolved. No additional action is required; existing and new appliances will automatically benefit from this change upon upgrading to 10.4.

Web Access Enhancements:

  • Bulk Delete Operation: You can now delete multiple files and folders, including nested files and folder content, with a single operation. Larger deletion jobs run in the background, so you can keep working without interruption.

  • Quick Access Menu: Account information, settings, and sign-out menu items are now available from the avatar icon in the top-right corner, making these actions easier to find and access.

  • Activity Tracking for Local Edit: A new activity view shows the status of files you’re working with in Local Edit, including uploads, downloads, completed actions, and items that may need attention. This provides you with greater visibility and confidence while using Local Edit.

Note: “Activity Tracking for Local Edit” is only available for Advanced Web Access.

Improved Oplock Performance: Improved file access responsiveness for workloads using AGFL-Opportunistic Locking with heavy read contention and occasional writes. The Lock Arbiter now directly notifies waiting clients when an oplock break completes, thus significantly reducing polling-related latency.

Expanded Support for Cache Striping at First Boot: Striping the cache across multiple disks allows Edge Appliances to exceed the performance or capacity limits of a single disk. Automatic cache disk striping at first boot now supports all hypervisors, including KVM, Xen, Nutanix, Scale, and AWS EC2, which were not supported in 9.3. GCP-based Edge Appliances do not yet support this feature. All devices must be the same size and present when the Edge Appliance boots for the first time.

Ransomware File System Data Collection (Opt-In Required): To better safeguard your data from ransomware attacks, Nasuni requests your permission to collect pseudonymized data on file system activity. Pseudonymization means that identifying details like file names, paths, and user information are replaced with consistent stand-in values before the data leaves your environment, so normal file system behavior can be modeled without exposing what the files actually are or who touched them. By allowing pseudonymized data collection, you’ll be contributing to the fight against ransomware and helping Nasuni improve your ransomware defenses and those of the entire Nasuni community. Your file system activity is pseudonymized before it's collected. Nasuni never collects the contents of your files, and all information is handled with strong security measures and respect for your privacy.

  • To participate in this research effort, please enable the service from the NMC-> Account Status page.

Note: Participation in this research will be enabled on all appliances and volumes.

Update – Lock Arbiter feature enabled automatically on update to NEA 10.3

Customers with a Multisite Collaboration (MSC) license who update any NEA to version 10.3 will have the Lock Arbiter feature automatically enabled at the account level. Once enabled, Lock Arbiter — which coordinates Advanced Global File Locking (Adv GFL) functionality — becomes active across all NEAs running version 10.0.2 or later that are deployed under the customer's account.

Lock Arbiter is also now enabled by default for all new Nasuni customers with MSC licenses. Refer to the Global File Locking section of the Nasuni Documentation to understand the Adv GFL feature, how to configure it in your Nasuni volumes, and usage best practices.

Resolved Issues

NMC and Edge Appliance UI and API

  • Issue 84692 and 84693: Resolved issues introduced in NMC version 25.3 that increased memory consumption in some cases, which could result in slow UI performance.

Nasuni Platform

  • Issue 81369: Fixed an issue where appliance-generated certificates incorrectly appended subjectAltName to the subject distinguished name. The certificate generation process now correctly specifies subjectAltName using the x509v3 extension.

  • Issue 84319: Fixed an issue introduced in 10.2 where certain older volumes without an explicitly defined permissions policy were unable to connect to or disconnect from remote Edge Appliances.

Network Protocols and UniFS

  • Issue 81072: Addressed a rare race condition that could occur if data was written to a volume immediately after disaster recovery (DR) and before full initialization. This could result in snapshot failures and impact data protection.

  • Issue 81119:  Fixed an issue where internal file system operation files were incorrectly flagged as unprotected data, resulting in inaccurate snapshot notifications.

  • Issue 85372: Fixed an issue where file operations on NFS volumes could fail with “permission denied” errors on certain Edge Appliances, despite permissions appearing correctly set. This was caused by an internal database limitation that led to inconsistent permission evaluation across appliances.

  • Issue 1419: Removed an internal metadata push failure notification that could cause unnecessary concern. These transient failures resolve automatically with the next snapshot and do not require action.

Data Propagation and GFL

  • Issue 81647: Improved connection handling to fix an issue where temporary exhaustion of internal traffic ports could cause sync and fault-in operations to fail on an Edge Appliance.

  • Issue 82053: Fixed on where certain file operations in GFL directories, such as writes and deletes, could fail if the directory or file had been renamed or moved.

  • Issue 82707: Resolved an issue with the lock arbiter that prevented access to files under GFL.

NEA 10.2.3, File IQ 10.2.3, and NMC 25.3.3

New Features and Updates

UniFS Change Log

  • UniFS has a new internal change logging capability that records file and directory changes within the file system. The change log, which is not currently customer-facing, enables Nasuni to track and respond to file system activity more accurately and lays the foundation for enhanced functionality across Nasuni products and tools.

  • For shared volumes, UniFS automatically enables change logging after all Edges connected to the volume have been updated to version 10.2.3 or later, ensuring consistent behavior across the environment. After enabling change logging on a shared volume, only NEAs running version 10.2.3 or later can connect to the volume.

  • For local volumes, UniFS automatically enables change logging after updating to version 10.2.3 or later.

Note: Nasuni manages change logging internally. Change logging requires no customer configuration. The change log does not contain file contents. Change logging does not affect file data, access controls, or user workflows.

Enhanced support for large NTFS Alternate Data Streams (ADS)

  • Nasuni now optionally supports NTFS Alternate Data Streams (ADS) larger than 64 KB (up to 1 MB), improving compatibility with data classification and security platforms such as Microsoft Purview and Stealthbits. This enhancement enables customers to preserve and manage extended file metadata more reliably, supporting compliance and security workflows without size-related limitations. If this configuration is required, contact Nasuni Support.

Resolved Issues

Platform

  • Issue 82614: Fixed an issue where configuration update checks from the Nasuni Orchestration Center (NOC) inadvertently caused cache data traversal, resulting in a spike in cache disk I/O.

  • Issue 81902: Resolved an issue introduced in NEA version 10.0, where Active Directory query operations that took longer than usual could cause system timeouts during domain join and service startup.

Security

  • Issue 83222: Enhanced security for KVM-based virtual appliances by limiting privileged guest agent operations, reducing the risk of unauthorized access to internal system functions.

Released January 29, 2026

Resolved Issues

Data Propagation and Global File Locking (GFL)

  • Issue 83118: An issue introduced in NEA version 10.2 causes appliances with advanced global locking enabled to indefinitely retain file locks under specific file operation scenarios, blocking read-write access for other connected appliances.

Network Protocols and UniFS

  • Issue-78077 - Fixed an issue where internal file conflicts could cause the UnityFS service to crash and restart, resulting in temporary NFS and SMB unavailability.

New Features and Updates

Ops IQ Enhancements:

  • New Disk Metric (IO Latency): A new IO Latency chart has been added to the Ops IQ Appliance dashboard for every disk, providing deeper visibility into disk performance. The chart reports read and write latency, serving as a key indicator of disk responsiveness. When viewed alongside IOPS and IO Time, IO Latency delivers a comprehensive set of metrics that help assess disk health and quickly identify performance bottlenecks.

  • Ops IQ API: We are introducing a comprehensive set of Portal APIs for Ops IQ telemetry, providing programmatic access to Ops IQ telemetry and data points. These APIs enable integration with external monitoring tools, custom dashboards, and automation workflows across your Nasuni environment.

    • Note: Ops IQ APIs are currently in private preview. If you are interested in early access or would like to explore integration opportunities, please contact your Nasuni representative.
