Partnership Will Offer CommVault Customers Access to Iron Mountain's Secure Enterprise Cloud Storage
BOSTON, Feb 01, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Iron
Mountain Incorporated (NYSE: IRM), an information management
services company, today announced that CommVault has joined the Iron
Mountain Developer
Program to integrate its Simpana(R) software with Iron Mountain's
Archive Services Platform. Once the integration is completed, CommVault
customers will have access to Iron Mountain's enterprise-class cloud
storage. The Developer Program allows application providers like
CommVault to integrate their solutions with Iron Mountain's cloud
archiving services so they can in turn provide their customers with not
only secure storage but with added services for accessing and leveraging
that data.
"As our customers look to take advantage of the cloud as another tier of
storage, Iron Mountain's trusted and secure Archive Services Platform
helps them meet their long-term data management, archiving and retention
needs," said David West, vice president of marketing and business
development at CommVault. "The combination of Iron Mountain's proven
reliability and the CommVault(R) Simpana software cloud storage connector
will give joint customers a powerful option to move on-premises backup
and archive data securely, reliably and transparently into, and out of,
the Iron Mountain Archive Services Platform."
CommVault is the latest application provider to join the Developer
Program since Iron Mountain introduced its Archive Services Platform to
developers and independent software vendors in Oct. 2009. Customers of
CommVault's cloud-optimized Simpana software will have access to secure,
offsite data storage, eliminating the need for custom scripting or
disparate cloud gateway devices.
"Iron Mountain's Archive Services Platform allows application providers
to extend our enterprise-class security and reliability to their
software developer end-users, giving them the assurance that their data
is both protected and easily accessed via our related information
management services," saidTodd Koopersmith, vice president of
strategic alliances for Iron Mountain. "We are pleased that CommVault
has chosen to join our Developer Program, and we view this as further
validation that security matters when it comes to protecting corporate
data in the cloud."
"Security and reliability continue to be key issues for customers and we
believe partnerships such as the one formed between CommVault and Iron
Mountain will alleviate the concerns of enterprises," said Henry
Baltazar, Analyst for The 451 Group. "Iron Mountain's Developer Program
gives application providers the security and privacy they require to
confidently offer cloud storage to enterprises."
The Iron Mountain Developer Program offers application developers
seamless integration with the Company's Archive Services Platform
through an Application Programming Interface (API) for secure, off-site
long-term data storage for data-intensive applications, as well as
information management functionality such as advanced indexing, search
and retrieval capabilities and retention and destruction.
