Nirvanix Adopted by Fox Network Group

Nirvanix Inc. announced that Fox Networks Group selected the Nirvanix
Cloud Storage Network for digital content collaboration to accelerate secure
access and deployment of key media assets.

The Nirvanix cloud has also been selected as a replacement solution
for multi-tier data and tape backup. The implementation of Nirvanix cloud
storage will enable Fox to speed up its content workflows and content
processing for global monetization.

"We expect that the agility and elastic flexibility of the
Nirvanix cloud will enable Fox to bring its creative content and business
projects to market significantly faster than with other IT architectures,"
said Ben Hope, SVP and CIO, Fox Networks Group. "By incorporating the
cloud as the core of our asset sharing and distribution strategy, we can
improve production performance and reduce the costs of our workflows, and
benefit from a pay-upon-content-ingest model as opposed to a CapEx-intensive
model that requires us to pay for physical infrastructure even when it’s not in
use."

Nirvanix has a worldwide network of data centers with a global
namespace that enables Fox to upload a file in one location and ensure that it
is accessible in any other location. This global namespace spans data centers,
countries, and regions, and pools all data into a single repository accessible
from anywhere.

With the data consistency of the Nirvanix Cloud File System, Fox is
assured that changes made to any file are reflected across the whole cloud, not
at some future point in time or during ‘consistency windows.’ This is critical
for businesses like Fox who cannot afford to waste hours editing dailies that
have been re-shot or make wrong decisions based on outdated files.

"Nirvanix has the only consistent data storage on the
Internet," said Dru Borden, chief strategy officer, Nirvanix. "Nirvanix
replicated files are not DR copies but live, active copies that do not have to
be recovered or restored to be accessed. For our customers, it’s about the time
to recovery not just the ability to get to an eventual state of recovery. Live
replicas across multiple geo locations provide for continuous business
operations for deadline-sensitive, 24×7 content engines such as those at Fox."
