Nirvanix, provider of cloud-based storage services for enterprises, said Tuesday it gave customers that have data stored at its Dallas data center the option of moving it to the company’s locations on the West Coast, in Europe or in Asia.

Multiple tornados rummaged through the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) metro Tuesday, causing major damage to buildings and vehicles, as well as numerous power outages, according to news reports.

Nirvanix’s data center in Dallas did not lose utility power and therefore did not have to switch to back-up generators. Steve Zivanic, VP of marketing at Nirvanix, said the option to move data was for customers who were feeling nervous because of the disaster and wanted an extra layer of assurance.

Nirvanix president and CEO Scott Genereux said the company was ready to assist its customers as they faced the extreme weather, pointing out the benefits of a cloud-based infrastructure in incidents like Tuesday’s.

“By storing their data in the Nirvanix cloud, customers benefit from the transparent movement of data from one region to another with no impact to their business operations,” Generaux said.

Nirvanix is leasing its data center space in Dallas from SoftLayer, Zivanic said. SoftLayer is a major US-based data center services provider.

Other major providers contacted by DatacenterDynamics reported no direct impact from the tornados or from the resultant power outages. Representatives from ViaWest, Equinix, Telx, CyrusOne and Digital Realty Trust all said their DFW data centers were humming along as usual.
