Nirvanix Joins With Arkeia

Nirvanix and Arkeia Software have partnered to deliver backup protection of business-critical data to the secure, scalable Nirvanix Storage Delivery Network (SDN). The first of its kind solution utilizes the Arkeia Network Backup software solution and the Nirvanix CloudNAS, a software application that turns any server into a virtual NAS gateway to the cloud, to provide unlimited, cost effective storage for long term retention of backups and archives.

Combining Arkeia Network Backup, an enterprise-ready network backup solution with Nirvanix’s CloudNAS, organizations gain ready access to powerful data protection via secure, scalable storage at 80-90% cost savings over traditional storage solutions. Additionally, the joint solution safeguards a company’s digital assets with the ability to automatically replicate data for high availability and for high performance on any number of Nirvanix nodes as determined by the data protection policy of the customer.  

“Arkeia Network Backup provides seamless support for backup to tape, disk and virtual tape libraries,” said Dave Elliott, GM of Americas and Asia of Arkeia Software. “By adding support for the Nirvanix CloudNAS, companies can realize the significant benefits of cloud storage while leveraging a proven enterprise backup solution in Arkeia Network Backup.”

The joint solution’s federated architecture facilitates global backup policies and provides comprehensive control of remote office data. It offers enhanced secure data transfers to any of Nirvanix’s globally distributed storage nodes using integrated AES 256-bit encryption and SSL transfer. Through seamless integration between the companies’ technologies, customers benefit from a fast, secure and easy way to gain access to the benefits of enterprise-grade cloud storage.

“Our partnership with Arkeia brings enhanced data protection solutions to organizations looking to add globally distributed backup and restore functionality without compromising performance and security at a much lower price than expanding and managing their existing storage infrastructure,” said Patrick Harr, Chief Executive Officer of Nirvanix. “Every organization regardless of size has resource and capital constraints. By leveraging the economic benefits of Nirvanix’s cloud storage combined with Arkeia’s scalable data protection software, companies can now reduce their capital expenditures and stop worrying about storing their long term backups and archives.”
