Don’t Be Fooled: Nirvanix IS Mediamax!

Autor tombassett

Lately, there has been some debate as to how closely related Nirvanix, the new competitor to S3, is to MediaMax, the failed online storage company. As it turns out, it is quite hard to tell them apart. Here are some facts:

Patrick Harr is CEO of Nirvanix. He was formerly CEO of MediaMax.

Greg Bohdan is the CFO of Nirvanix. He was formerly CFO of MediaMax. He was also formerly CFO and is currently on the Board of Directors of the “San Diego Venture Group”, which FUNDED MediaMax.

Geoff Tudor was Senior Vice President of Products and Engineering at Streamload. He is now COO & VP of Engineering at Nirvanix.

Adrian Herrera was the Director of Business Development at Streamload.   He is now the Director of Business Development at Nirvanix.

Steve Iverson is the current president of MediaMax, founder, and former CTO. He has admitted that Nirvanix is a spin-off company from MediaMax, and that the behind the scenes creation of Nirvanix BY MediaMax is part of the reason for the massive failures experienced by them in the past few months.

• Nirvanix is located at 525 B St, San Diego, CA.
• MediaMax is located at 600 B St, San Diego, CA.

According to Google Maps, those locations are only 203 feet away from each other. However, if you search California corporate records, they’re both listed as 525 B St.

• Nirvanix Corporate Records
• MediaMax Corporate Records

So the next time someone tells you that these are two different companies with two different teams, remember this article. And ask yourself if you really want to trust any of your data to MediaMax.com.
