Atempo, a provider of cross-platform data protection and archiving solutions, and Nirvanix (News - Alert), a "Cloud Storage" platform provider, announced a partnership to integrate Atempo Digital Archive (ADA) with the Nirvanix Storage Delivery Network (SDN).

 

This integration will provide an archiving software to seamlessly identify, link and move files from an enterprise out into cloud storage. The integration retains rich and unique features of ADA as well security, flexibility and economic advantages offered by Nirvanix’s powerful SDN.

 

Aimed at medium and large organizations, it provides long-term data retention capabilities at lower storage infrastructure costs.

 

"Atempo customers who select this cloud storage option powered by the Nirvanix SDN introduce new pricing flexibility to their organization," said Edgard Capdevielle, vice president of business development at Nirvanix.

 

"These companies can save between 80-90 percent of their current data center infrastructure costs by relying on our secure SDN rather than operating and maintaining their own storage media. Also, instead of having a flat service fee, Atempo customers will only pay for the amount of cloud storage space used on a monthly basis,” added Capdevielle.

 

Globally distributed storage nodes help ADA provide worldwide coverage and maintain consistent user experience. It also allows up to three live, geographically disparate copies of the data to eliminate any possibility of downtime.

 

"Atempo Digital Archive's integration with the Nirvanix Storage Delivery Network is not only an important partnership for our companies, but also marks a significant step for the industry overall," said Karim Toubba, vice president of marketing and product management at Atempo.

 

"As the world's first software to archive critical data from the enterprise directly out into cloud storage, ADA now delivers added flexibility and cost-savings on top of its already powerful file archiving capabilities. Atempo customers who expect the industry's greatest support and compatibility of storage media now have the benefit of preserving their most critical digital assets through this innovative cloud storage model,” Toubba added.
