Nirvanix

Overview

The cloud storage market is growing and gaining popularity as customers realize the cost advantages of moving unstructured data like documents, video, and medical images out of their own data centers. The need only grows due to the amount of non-essential archival data that needs to be stored for reasons of governance and compliance.

Nirvanix is a well-funded startup (over $23 million) competing with Amazon S3 to deliver Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) to companies of all sizes. The Nirvanix Storage Devliery Network (SDN) is a highly-scalable and available global cluster of storage nodes driven by the Nirvanix Internet Media File System (IMFS). Nirvanix SDN intelligently stores, delivers, and processes storage requests in the best network location, while decreasing overall costs and time-to-market and increasing flexibility and control. By moving vast amounts of data out of the data center, companies save on the hardware and management costs associated with it.

With a pay as you go, self-service model, Nirvanix makes it easy for customers to get familiar with cloud storage and then, as experience and storage usage grows, transition to an enterprise account for direct support and negotiated rates of service.

Today, Nirvanix has more than 500 customers, ranging from the Fortune 500 to startups.
