TeraNimbus Cloud Archive and Backup Service by Hie Electronics

Hie Electronics, Inc. announced the availability of a cloud-based archive and backup service called TeraNimbus, which was developed under a software licensing agreement with General Electric Inc.

It provides customers with public and private cloud-based archive and backup services. It uses archive technology in its storage architecture. The system uses patented technology for 50+ year data integrity. This same technology has previously only been available to corporate and government agency clients as an onsite offering.
