Nirvanix Cloud Storage CEO Culls Executives

Channel Register reports that Nirvanix investors are happy with the way CEO Genereux is running things, after Genereux began a substantial paring down of Nirvanix' senior executives, and now has pretty much his own team piloting the enterprise cloud storage ship. Recently Nirvanix made an offer to aggrieved Iron Mountain cloud customers, launched its Cloud Sideloader technology to encourage data transfer from other cloud service providers, and marketed alliances with Front Porch Digital and Riverbed, for its Whitewater cloud gateway appliance.

"Nirvanix has its own hNode, a managed private cloud service. The company says: ‘The standard configuration is two hNodes, with a minimum of 200TBs each, scalable to multiple petabytes per location.’ NIrvanix presents this as the hNode providing private cloud-storage facilities to an enterprise with the back end being the Nirvanix public cloud service, a hybrid approach. We expect to hear much more about this.”
