fourth consecutive year, Iron Mountain Incorporated (NYSE: IRM) has been named
to the InformationWeek 500, a prestigious listing of the most innovative users
of information technology in the United States. The global leader in
information protection and storage services was among the top companies
recognized by InformationWeek at its gala awards ceremony held during this
week's InformationWeek 500 Conference in Rancho Mirage, CA.
For the past 18 years, InformationWeek has identified and honored the
nation's most innovative users of information technology with its annual

the power of innovation in information technology, rather than simply
identifying the biggest IT spenders.

been recognized by InformationWeek for the fourth consecutive year," said
Kevin Roden, chief information officer for Iron Mountain. "Iron Mountain is a
very diverse company, providing a wide array of records management and data
protection services. In order to deliver innovative solutions to our
