Company Opens New Data Center in Toronto in effort to Help Canadian Businesses
Meet Privacy Compliance
BOSTON, Aug. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Iron Mountain Incorporated
(NYSE: IRM), the global leader in information protection and storage services,
today announced that its Connected(R) Backup for PC and LiveVault(R) Server
Backup solutions are now available directly to Canadian businesses via a new
data center operated by the Company in Toronto, Canada. Now, businesses in
Canada can enjoy the benefits of the world's leading PC and Server data
protection solutions knowing their data is stored and protected in a Canadian
data center operated by Iron Mountain.
In today's global business environment, ever-growing regulations combined
with the explosive growth of data, make data protection and recovery a key
priority for all organizations, regardless of location. Increased risks,
ranging from natural disasters and human threats; to security breaches from
viruses, worms and hackers; to the development of a litigious environment
demanding quick retrieval for discovery purposes, can also make data
protection and recovery extremely challenging.
"Increasing regulations, such as British Columbia's Bill 73 that amended
the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, mandated that
Governmental agencies in British Columbia in possession of personal data
relating to individuals residing in British Columbia must retain such data in
Canada," said Pierre Matteau, senior vice president, Iron Mountain Canada.
"With the addition of our first Canadian data centers, Canadian businesses now
have the comfort of partnering with Iron Mountain to store and protect their
data, while maintaining compliance with today's regulations."
Iron Mountain's comprehensive distributed data protection solutions help
thousands of corporations and tens of thousands of companies automatically and
reliably back up and recover server and PC data; meet regulatory compliance
requirements and contain storage costs. Iron Mountain's Connected Backup for
PC solution is the undisputed No. 1 solution for automatic desktop and laptop
data protection and recovery. The Connected Backup for PC solution virtually
eliminates the risk of PC data loss by automatically backing up desktop and
laptop computers as users go about their normal tasks. Additionally, Iron
Mountain's LiveVault server backup is a complete server data protection
solution for small and medium businesses, as well as remote offices and sites.
Combining proven disk and online technologies, LiveVault radically simplifies
the protection of servers including file, database, application and Microsoft
Exchange servers, eliminating the burden of tape backup.
"We've had a growing demand from our customers worldwide for data
protection solutions and services," said John Clancy, president, Iron Mountain
Digital, the technology arm of Iron Mountain. "In addition to opening the data
center in Canada, Iron Mountain Digital is actively broadening its global data
center presence and in the process of opening a series of data centers outside
of the U.S. and Canada, to better support our customers wherever they do
business."
