Recently Nirvanix, a California based cloud storage provider announced that it is closing its doors on September 30,2013 with all the data becoming totally inaccessible with no chance to recover (Source: Information Age). That leaves all of Nirvanix’s customers in quite a bind. There are less than 7 days for them to move their data to another provider. Needless to say, this is not a situation any company should find itself in. This should remind all of us that providers come and go in this industry, and there will be many that won’t make it in the cloud space.
Many hosting and cloud storage providers tout their great service, exceptional support team, but how confident are you in their business model and their financial competency?

A shift in any one area of the industry will not affect us, and we will continue to be here and be successful for a long time to come.
