STORMS utilize the virtualization technology from VMware, software and database platforms from Microsoft, server hardware from Dell, and solid-state storage from Nimbus.

"We are delighted that Nimbus was selected as the Flash memory storage platform for this critical new DIA program," said Thomas Isakovich, CEO of Nimbus.
