3Tera and Nirvanix Partner
On 'cloud computing' for Web application developers
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on March 21, 2008 at 2:15 pm3Tera, Inc. and Nirvanix, the premier “Cloud
Storage” platform provider, announced
that the two companies have entered into a partnership to offer new
advanced cloud computing solutions, including global distributed
storage, content distribution and remote backup capabilities, for Web
application developers.
3Tera and Nirvanix will be integrating the Nirvanix Storage Delivery
Network (SDN) into the standard AppLogic catalog of virtual appliances.
The first such integration is the inclusion of the Nirvanix SDN as a
backup target option within the AppLogic Grid Operating System backup
dynamic appliance. The solution enables developers to select the
Nirvanix global storage network for the highest performance storage
available in the market today. Additionally, by selecting the Nirvanix
SDN, AppLogic customers will be able to send backup copies to multiple
global locations simultaneously for best practices in disaster recovery.
This integrated solution was demonstrated today, live, with a real
application grid backing up multiple images and gigabytes of data to the
SDN in just a few seconds.
“This solution blends together the best of
both worlds, Utility Computing and Cloud Storage,”
said Jonathan Buckley, Chief Marketing Officer for Nirvanix. “The
two companies are coming together to address a very real problem for
their customer: How to complement the simplicity and automation of a
robust Utility Computing platform, with a cost-disruptive, yet
most-reliable layer of data protection based on Cloud Storage.”
