Nirvanix today announced that DRFortress, a managed service provider in Hawaii is using its Nirvanix Hybrid Cloud Storage solution to provide backup and archive services in the Pacific Rim. DRFortress will deploy a cloud storage node in their data center that allows it to access and replicate data to the eight other nodes in the Nirvanix Cloud Storage Network. This Hybrid node will be managed by Nirvanix and DRFortress customers will pay only for the storage they use.

Our Take: Nirvanix is talking about actual customers, not proof of concept relationships. The company has a real chance to win in the cloud storage arena.
