National Geographic moves media archive to Nirvanix cloud

PanARMENIAN.Net - Nirvanix announced that the National Geographic Society has moved its backup and archival of large unstructured multi-media files to the Nirvanix Cloud Storage Network to take advantage of the economic and on-demand agility benefits that the cloud brings, Storage Review reported.

With the growth of their unstructured content files, the National Geographic Society needed an alternative to the traditional approach of continually buying physical storage capacity for their archival needs.

With the Nirvanix CloudNAS Gateway, they were able to encrypt data both in flight and at rest as well as securely transfer data to any of Nirvanix’s eight globally distributed cloud storage data centers.

Designed from the ground up, the Cloud File System was built for millions of users, billions of objects and exabytes of data (such as 3D movies, HD video and audio, 2K, 4K, 8K/IMAX files and CGI elements) and is available as one large global namespace. Additionally, it is accessible from any location, which makes this fully managed service perfect for leading content providers such as National Geographic.
