Nirvanix has raised over $25Min a Series C funding round led by Khosla Ventures. Current Nirvanix investors Valhalla Partners, Intel Capital, Mission Ventures and Windward Ventures also participated in the round. The new investment brings Nirvanix’s total capital raised to $70M.

Nirvanix is a cloud storage services provider for enterprises with massive amounts of large unstructured content files. It offers fully managed services with usage-based pricing across public, hybrid and private cloud storage deployments.

David Weiden  (General Partner, Khosla Ventures):  The advantages of cloud computing are becoming more clear all the time, and it is inevitable that storage will also move to this architecture.  Data, particularly unstructured data, is exploding in volume and ways to leverage it.
