From the CEO

Welcome to Nirvanix

We recently launched our new B2B storage and delivery service to strong reception and now have over 40 beta customers both large and small that have been integrating their media-based web applications and services. These applications include: mobile digital lockers, social networking sites, mashables, photo and video sharing sites, next gen YouTubes, mobile content delivery networks, next gen SmugMugs and new backup and archival solutions to name a few. The Nirvanix SDS was built from the ground up to support Internet-scale media storage requirements and remove the hassles of building, managing and storing billions of files for millions of users. The Nirvanix SDS is available through a rich web services API and delivers developers the first true Internet file system, advanced media services (transcoding, image manipulation, streaming and large file support), a guaranteed SLA and 24x7 support. Our patent-pending Internet Media File System is the underpinning of the service and delivers unmatched performance, scalability and reliability. In addition, it is the backbone of our media storage delivery network that we are building globally with multiple nodes in the United States, Europe and Asia. By intelligently moving storage uploads, downloads and media processing closer to applications and their users we deliver guaranteed performance and reliability that applications require and the optimal experience that users demand.

We founded Nirvanix in 2007 after seeing a tremendous need to provide Internet storage in the cloud for emerging web business as well as those traditional enterprises that were moving to embrace the web 2.0 model. We designed the service on five fundamental principles:

  • World-class customer service and support
  • Guaranteed availability and reliability of data
  • Global scalability and industry-best performance
  • Richest media processing and storage services
  • Breakthrough economics

With the launch of the Nirvanix SDS, we have delivered on these key principles. Nirvanix is the only provider of live 24x7 phone, email and chat support, guaranteed data availability and reliability with our IMFS clustered file system that utilizes multi-node file storage, RAID 6, backup and archival and fully redundant infrastructure. In addition, with our patent-pending clustered node architecture and inter- and intra-node geographic load balancing, we have delivered the industry’s best performance and global scalability for the web’s most demanding applications. Finally, we have delivered the only media-optimized storage service that enables developers to create the richest web experiences for their users at a price point significantly cheaper than building their own storage infrastructure. Nirvanix is the nirvana of media storage.

As always, I encourage everyone to try the service and I personally welcome any and all comments at 619-764-5650 x500.

Best regards, 

Patrick Harr
