== Nimbus Plug Computer Draft ==

The Nimbus is designed and manufactured by Ionics and is based on the reference design of the original SheevaPlug. However Ionics has cleverly optimized the design and it is 50% smaller in size than the initial reference design from Marvell. The Nimbus was released in September 2009.
