Upgrade Also Includes New Functionality for Litigation Discovery
BOSTON, Jan 11, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Iron
Mountain Incorporated (NYSE: IRM), an information management
services company, today announced an update to its Connected(R)
backup for PC solution to support Microsoft Windows 7 users. The
upgrade, Version 8.4, will also include support for litigation discovery
and is available now for license. The subscription version of the
service will be available March 2010.
"Iron Mountain is committed to meeting and leading our customers'
evolving information management needs that come with the development of
new technology," said Ramana Venkata, president of Iron Mountain
Digital. "The latest version of Iron Mountain's Connected backup
solution offers compatibility with new platforms being deployed by
customers to ensure their data is protected - regardless of platform.
The optional litigation discovery support will also help
customers stay current with increasingly rigid demands for compliance."
"For the past seven years, we have relied on Iron Mountain's Connected(R)
backup solution to easily and securely back up, store and retrieve our
company's PC data and to significantly reduce the burden placed on our
IT resources," said Matt McKim, technology architect, Cerner(R). "Each
time a new platform is made available, there is a challenge to ensure
all of our resources are able to support the platform so that our IT
administration continues to operate seamlessly. Knowing that Iron
Mountain's Connected solution now supports the new Microsoft Windows 7
platform migration enables us to protect our business data so that we
can focus on mission critical objectives."
"Microsoft is excited to work with companies such as Iron Mountain to
better serve the needs of enterprise customers as they make the
transition to Windows 7," said Alex Pombo, senior director of ISV
partners for Microsoft Corp. "With Windows 7 and the new version of the
Connected backup solution from Iron Mountain, business customers can
more confidently manage and protect their PC data."
Iron Mountain's Connected backup solution offers complete security of PC
and laptop data, using industry-standard encryption and administrative
controls to ensure that data is always protected, whether on premises or
using Iron Mountain's services. The solution's patented data reduction
technologies, SendOnce(R) and DeltaBlock(R), reduce storage needs by up to
85 percent. All data is transmitted and stored in a compressed format to
reduce network loads and minimize storage needs. The EmailOptimizer(R)
option can reduce storage requirements for Microsoft Outlook and Lotus
Notes applications by recognizing duplicate email attachments and
storing them only once, significantly reducing storage requirements and
simplifying recovery.
