Health Care Provider Cerner With New On-Demand Storage Service

Nirvanix, Inc. announced that Cerner Corp., a nearly $2 billion health care
solutions provider, will deploy as part of their Cerner
Skybox solutions, a new on-demand managed storage service offering based on
a Nirvanix Private Cloud Storage solution.

The Cerner Skybox Storage service
enables Cerner’s clients to consolidate PACs, radiology, lab, clinical systems
and patient records in a secure enterprise-grade cloud storage environment.

Cerner has initially deployed a multi-petabyte scalable
private node of cloud storage located within its data centers,
maintained as a service by Nirvanix. The Nirvanix Cloud File System enables Cerner
to provide usage-based pricing for its health care clients and a global
namespace that ensures instant content access regardless of location.

With the Nirvanix private cloud storage solution, Cerner can offer its clients
enterprise-grade cloud storage designed from the ground up for data
availability. This solution is capable of supporting millions of users and
billions of objects, with built-in software capabilities that provide for
continuous data consistency and a self-healing cloud that performs continuous
data integrity checks on all stored files and automatically repairs corrupt
files.

"Our objective is to optimize
processes and enable the use and sharing of information across the health care
industry," said Tony Linville, vice president of Infrastructure
Services at Cerner. "To that end, we
are positioned to lead the way in the adoption of cloud storage in the health
care industry. We believe that the economics and elasticity of cloud storage
based on Nirvanix technologies will provide our clients a secure solution which
eases collaboration and drives down costs."

"Cerner is a thought leader and a
visionary in the healthcare sector," said Dave Vellante, President of
IT think tank Wikibon.org. "This
large-scale deployment is yet another strong indicator that cloud adoption is
going increasingly mainstream. While many traditional healthcare providers are
struggling to figure out their cloud storage strategies, Cerner is driving
innovation in the sector and focusing on delivering trusted cloud solutions
today."

"The benefits of the cloud are
spreading across a multitude of industries," said Scott Genereux,
President and CEO, Nirvanix. "Our
cloud storage technology is ideally suited for the health care industry as it
was designed from the ground up to accommodate massive files, which is critical
for the unstructured data that is so prevalent in this space."

Nirvanix cloud storage technology also helps Cerner protect and secure
personally identifiable health care information, ensuring that all files stored
in the cloud are obscurificated as Nirvanix software de-identifies each
physical file, removing the file name, owner and type.
