Nirvanix Names VP of Marketing

Company appoints Steve Zivanic as Vice President of Marketing.

Nirvanix, an enterprise cloud storage service provider, today announced the appointment of Steve Zivanic as Vice President of Marketing, effective immediately. Zivanic will report to Scott Genereux, President and CEO of Nirvanix.

According to the company, Zivanic will be responsible for spearheading strategic marketing initiatives and driving increased brand awareness of the company on a global scale. Zivanic brings over 12 years of global marketing experience to Nirvanix. Prior to joining in January, 2011, Zivanic served as senior director of Corporate Communications at networking pioneer QLogic, where he spearheaded the company's marketing initiatives to capture mindshare in the converged networking space. Based on the rise of QLogic's switching business, Zivanic successfully positioned the company as a core data center brand, transcending its roots as primarily an HBA vendor.

"Steve's proven ability to deliver maximum marketing impact and visibility will be well suited to raising the profile of Nirvanix in the marketplace," said Scott Genereux, President and CEO, Nirvanix. "Steve's history of consistent execution, proven leadership, creative marketing concepts and high energy will be a compelling addition to the Nirvanix executive team."

"Nirvanix is positioned at the apex of the massive cloud storage market opportunity," said Zivanic. "With a trifecta of powerful offerings including CloudNAS Gateways, the public cloud Storage Delivery Network, and the hNode hybrid and private cloud solution, only Nirvanix offers a truly complete cloud storage portfolio and is clearly in a position to further accelerate revenue and share capture in 2011."
