Last week, San Jose, California based Nirvanix caught the industry by surprise when it announced it was shutting down its cloud services. The company has given short notice to its customers so that they can retrieve their data and move it to some other cloud service provider.

Nirvanix has told customers they must stop replicating data to its cloud service and download any data they wish to save by Oct. 15, although it still hasn’t made a public statement or changed any of the marketing or other information on its website till the time the article is written. With the spread in the industry, a host of other cloud service providers have started to cash in and grab Nirvanix’s retreating customers.

It can be difficult to sort through the virtually endless cloud storage and filehosts available, so below is a list of the some of the more popular options to migrate to other cloud storage services provider.

Attunity

Attunity, a leading provider of information availability software solutions, announced a fast and easy migration service from Nirvanix to AWS’ S3 Cloud. The company’s CloudBeam service offers existing Nirvanix customers to migrate data without any unplanned disruptions.

Attunity CloudBeam offers accelerated transfer of data between different cloud platforms and has been cited by Amazon as a solution for loading data to Amazon S3 and Amazon Redshift. The company Nirvanix customers’ migration tasks would be done by Attunity’s propriety transfer protocol, which is designed to offer secure, fully-managed, industry-standard SSL encryption and guarantee delivery of data.

CoreSite

CoreSite, a provider of network-dense, cloud-enabled data center solutions and the CoreSite Mesh, have started offering Nirvanix users to find alternate cloud and storage options from the hundreds of other options deployed in and across its data center platform.

Hundreds of Nirvanix customers are faced with the task of moving vast amounts of mission-critical data to other cloud storage providers in very little time. CoreSite through its CoreSite Mesh community began working with impacted Nirvanix customers to move data to alternate providers, such as Amazon Web Services, Synoptek, and others.

Oxygen Cloud

Oxygen Cloud has a unique technology to minimize the risks around storage providers. Its storage broker solution lets you use one or more storage providers, cloud-hosted, on-premises, or both such as Amazon Web Services and on-premises storage can be used in the same account.

Leo Leung, VP of Product Marketing for Oxygen Cloud, said in theCUBE that Oxygen’s storage broker is useful helping Nirvanix customers as it allows for working on multiple clouds and on premise storage at the same time. Leung welcomes Nirvanix customers who are trying to retrieve data.

Google Drive using Linkgard

Nirvanix cloud users can think of Google as the future home of cloud data. CloudNAS is a free software for Nirvanix users that mount your storage and make it appear as a mount point in Windows. User can then install Linkgard’s Nava Certus and create a migration job to migrate from the Nirvanix Directory to Google Drive.

Rackspace

Rackspace is offering a month free Cloud Files for Nirvanix customers to move to Rackspace cloud hosting services. The company is also offering free migration and pay only for the storage you need starting start at $0.10 per GB/mo.

The Cloud Files service offers highly scalable, redundant online storage for files and media of any size backed by Rackspace’s Fanatical Support.
