The shutdown announcement from Nirvanix has led to a lot of scrambling for customers and the final-closure-date is looming with the upcoming October 15th as the deadline. But fortunately, other cloud providers are stepping into the breach. We have covered a few of the top popular options to migrate to other cloud storage services provider.

As the final turn-off date is finally on the horizon, SiliconANGLE figured that it’s a good time to update the list of likely candidates to move data to. Consider this a last-minute-shopping list (including the previous we’ve run.)

While some customers are looking for alternatives to the major cloud providers such as Amazon, Microsoft, IBM, HP, Box, Dropbox, Google and Rackspace among others, there are a long list of others jump in to ensure that Nirvanix customers experience a seamless transition in this emergency situation.

Aorta Cloud

U.K.-based Aorta Cloud is trying to rescue Nirvanix customers with a special package. The company with the help of its sister company Aorta Capital has set up a Nirvanix Rescue Package page on its website to provide full continuity of service for Nirvanix customers. Arota is capturing any data volume by physically getting it out of the data center and its CEO Steve Ampleford claims his group has a “seven-figure commitment” to save the soon to be dead cloud storage provider. The plan is to raise enough money to keep the company going for at least two months, and then try to secure more funding to save it long-term or at least give customers more time to get their data off the Nirvanix cloud.

IQ Storage

IQ Storage, the online backup services for files & databases, is helping Nirvanix customers to migrate their data to IQ Storage for a limited time.
