Panzura LLC, maker of a global cloud file system, today announced the general availability of Nexus, a new platform designed to connect enterprise file data to Microsoft 365 Copilot while preserving existing security controls and permissions.
The launch addresses what the company said is a longstanding limitation in enterprise artificial intelligence: Most unstructured data stored in file systems has been largely inaccessible to large language models.
“Customers have tons of data that they historically have not been able to leverage because it’s by nature unstructured,” said Chief Executive Officer Karthik Ramamurthy.
The Nexus platform integrates with Panzura’s CloudFS hybrid cloud file system to expose data through Copilot’s conversational interface. The goal is to allow users to query enterprise knowledge using natural language without changing existing workflows or data architectures.
