Twofold Increase for Nirvanix Cloud Storage Capacity in Dallas Area

To accommodate rising demand, Nirvanix, Inc. announced a twofold increase in its cloud storage capacity in the Dallas area through an agreement with CyrusOne LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cincinnati Bell and enterprise data center colocation solutions provider.

This marks the second data center location in Dallas for Nirvanix, with seven additional data centers in geographically diverse locations worldwide.

CyrusOne plans to deliver the first statewide Internet exchange in the country – linking its Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio data centers to one another – all integrated with Nirvanix enterprise cloud storage to serve the archive, backup and content collaboration needs of Fortune 1000 customers.

"Our capacity expansion at CyrusOne is based on customer demand, as more and more organizations generate massive amounts of unstructured data – many in the petabyte range, customers with terabyte-sized files – and it’s clear that conventional storage solutions aren’t addressing their needs," said Scott Genereux, president and CEO of Nirvanix. "Nirvanix fully managed cloud storage services with an on-demand, pay-by-the-drink model deployed within CyrusOne data centers provides the agility, security and cost savings customers are looking for; plus, customers benefit from CyrusOne’s interconnected Internet exchange, which means better backup and archival performance and a substantial reduction in network-connection expenses."

"CyrusOne is aggressively expanding its footprint in Texas and in Dallas we see significant opportunity for growth in computing infrastructure colocation within the oil-and-gas industry," said Gary Wojtaszek, president of CyrusOne. "We’re also strengthening our competitive advantage with our ‘Sky for the Cloud’ platform, which provides a home for the cloud in a customized data hall, designed for maximizing Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE), and interconnects an ecosystem of business partners, content providers, networks, carriers, Internet service providers, and Ethernet buyers and sellers."

CyrusOne currently has four facilities in Dallas, totaling 124,000 square feet; and the company recently purchased 30 acres in North Dallas to build 400,000 square feet of raised floor, the largest in Texas, with the goal of achieving LEED Platinum certification.
