NIMBOXX Introduces Elastic Computing Alliance™


AUSTIN, Texas --(Business Wire)--

NIMBOXX™, creator of the atomic unit of the software-defined data center, today announced its Elastic Computing AllianceTM (ECA), an ecosystem of organizations forging the transformation of data centers throughout the world. Built around the NIMBOXX software-defined data center (SDDC) in a box, the Elastic Computing Alliance will allow NIMBOXX and its partners to deliver greater value to customers, leverage mature technologies and broaden technology functionality through key integrations.

"The transformation to data centers that are software-defined is already under way, but complexity has been a key inhibitor," said Rocky Bullock, CEO of NIMBOXX. "Customers expect and deserve integrated technologies and the onus is on vendors to make this happen. The goal of the ECA is to reduce complexity, remove existing barriers and make software-defined data centers accessible to businesses of all sizes."

The ECA allows members to leverage a rapidly growing community of organizations delivering innovative data center products, services and technologies. Members of the Alliance have more than 45,000 customers around the globe spanning a wide range of industries. The ECA will enable NIMBOXX and its Alliance partners to provide integrated, heterogeneous SDDC solutions through application programming interfaces (APIs) and integration certifications, working collaboratively to shape the cloud computing and data center architectures o the future.



"We are seeing a major shift in the way customers are purchasing critical infrastructure technologies - and that is toward scale-out, hyperconverged solutions," commented Amir Husain, president and CEO of SparkCognition. "Working closely with NIMBOXX and other Alliance partners allows us to stay ahead of the market and better leverage the technologies that are defining private cloud computing and virtualization."

Charter members of the NIMBOXX Elastic Computing Alliance, who also form the basis of the ECA Advisory Council, include:


  • Midokura: Global provider of network virtualization and software-defined networking
  • Novastor: Provider of seamless backup and recovery solutions for virtual and physical systems
