Logicalis Opts for Nirvanix

Nirvanix, Inc. announced that Logicalis Group Ltd,
an international IT solutions and MSP with
annualized revenue of over $1.2 billion, has selected Nirvanix cloud storage services, with
public, hybrid and private deployment options, to expand and differentiate its
cloud solutions portfolio.

This move strengthens Logicalis’ position in managed services by
offering Logicalis’ customers on-demand, secure storage designed
for backup, archiving, collaboration and DR of large-scale,
business-critical enterprise data anytime, anywhere, from any device.

Through this agreement, Nirvanix expands its addressable market, both companies
are positioned to capture increased market share, and Logicalis customers gain
access to a usage-based, enterprise-level cloud storage service designed to
support millions of users, billions of objects and exabytes of data-all under a
single global namespace.

"This is a win-win partnership. By
reselling the Nirvanix cloud storage service Logicalis is gaining a material
competitive advantage by shortening its time-to-market and gaining access to a
mature platform. Nirvanix further expands its reach and opportunity with
Logicalis’ extensive customer base and global presence," said Philbert
Shih, MD at Structure Research Ltd,
an hosting and cloud infrastructure research firm. "We have closely tracked a number of Nirvanix
wins over the last few months and seen enterprise companies such as Fox Networks, National
Geographic, USC and Cerner, deploy
large quantities of cloud storage. Service providers can feel confident that
Nirvanix has a solution that is capable of meeting or exceeding enterprise
requirements-with multiple global storage locations to satisfy both in-country
and out-of-region data retention requirements and toolsets to facilitate
collaboration."

"Our customers have been requesting
an enterprise-class cloud storage service for their business-critical data
backup, archiving and content collaboration requirements," said Bob
Hankins, VP, storage and data solutions, Logicalis. "With our new Storage-as-a-Service offering powered by Nirvanix, we are
expanding and differentiating our cloud solutions portfolio with an
industry-leading solution for the enterprise and broadening the market we can
now pursue."

With Nirvanix’s second-generation STaaS, Logicalis can
offer its clients cloud storage solutions designed for five
nines of data availability with built-in data consistency and self-healing
software for continuous data integrity. Nirvanix’s secure,
granular multi-tenancy capabilities enable Logicalis’ customers to create a
sub-account for each branch office, equip each office with its own user name and
password, and provide clear direction on where in the Nirvanix Cloud Storage
Network the data is to reside.

"Nirvanix’s industry-leading,
enterprise-grade object storage-based cloud services enable Logicalis to
address the exploding market for backup and archiving unstructured files and
infrequently accessed content," said Scott Genereux, president and CEO
of Nirvanix. "Logicalis clearly has
a highly differentiated portfolio and a significant time-to-market advantage
over other offerings in the market, which will enable the company to drive new
growth in new markets."
