Nirvanix Offers Hybrid-Public Cloud Storage

Calling it a hybrid private/public cloud with outsourcing, this report on The Register also says that Nirvanix will set up a cloud file storage node in your own data centre, federate it to other nodes and provide an on-ramp to its public cloud storage.

---

"The idea is to effectively out-source storage of your large file-based data sets to Nirvanix. It installs and manages a so-called hNode, with 'h' meaning hybrid, in your own data centre as your own private cloud, and delivers its services to you in a cloud economics way, meaning pay-for-use.

"Customers can federate multiple hNodes in several geographically dispersed data centers together, with a global namespace and policy-based replication between them. Policies can also be set up to transfer data to Nirvanix's own cloud, the Storage Delivery Network."
