Their announcement today is a proof point for our efforts to facilitate new business opportunities and exchange of innovative ideas.''
The solution is designed to enable developers to select the Nirvanix global storage network for the highest performance storage available in the market today. Additionally, by selecting the Nirvanix SDN, AppLogic customers will be able to send backup copies to multiple global locations simultaneously for best practices in disaster recovery. This integrated solution was demonstrated today, live, with a real application grid backing up multiple images and gigabytes of data to the SDN in just a few seconds.
Jonathan Buckley, Chief Marketing Officer for Nirvanix remarked, ''This solution blends together the best of both worlds, Utility Computing and Cloud Storage. The two companies are coming together to address a very real problem for their customer: How to complement the simplicity and automation of a robust Utility Computing platform, with a cost-disruptive, yet most-reliable layer of data protection based on Cloud Storage.''
