Iron Mountain's CloudRecovery Solution includes Support for DPM 2010,
Increased Scalability, and Added Disaster Protection across Microsoft
applications such as Hyper-V, Exchange, SharePoint, and SQL Server
BOSTON, Apr 19, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) --Iron
Mountain Incorporated (NYSE: IRM), an information management
services company, today announced a new release of its CloudRecovery(R)
solution for Microsoft(R)
System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM). With Iron Mountain's
CloudRecovery solution, Microsoft DPM customers can automatically
protect their business data with Iron Mountain's secure cloud for
short-and long-term, off-site storage. This release includes support for
DPM 2010, multi-terabyte scalability and new options for additional data
protection.
"Since announcing our strategic relationship with Microsoft in January
2009 to offer DPM customers the CloudRecovery solution, we have made
significant enhancements to support the continuous data protection and
disaster recovery of Microsoft platforms to the cloud," said Ramana
Venkata, president, Iron Mountain Digital, the company's technology arm.
"Our customers' changing needs for storing, managing and utilizing
information on-premises and in the cloud, requires innovative hybrid
information management solutions like Iron Mountain CloudRecovery."
The new release of Iron Mountain CloudRecovery will provide support for
DPM 2010 in addition to continued support for DPM 2007 with Service Pack
1. To support rapid corporate data growth, the solution also provides
increased scalability - protecting multi-terabyte servers.
"We need to have systems that are always on, and always available. This
is especially true when it comes to the backup and recovery needs of our
Microsoft applications - including Exchange, SQL, and SharePoint," said
Alan Bourassa, CIO, Empire CLS. "The seamless integration between
Microsoft DPM and Iron Mountain CloudRecovery is ideal for addressing
these requirements and we are looking forward to taking advantage of the
new features that will be available with the new release."
With this new release, Iron Mountain CloudRecovery customers now have an
extra layer of disaster protection with an ability to restore the DPM
SQL Server database in addition to DPM data. Other new options include
an on-site Iron Mountain TurboRestore appliance with Data Shuttle
services for quickly backing up and restoring data, which allows
customers to ship an appliance for sending and receiving large volumes
of data without burdening their networks.
Iron Mountain and Microsoft have a strategic relationship that is
focused on helping customers reduce the risks and costs of managing
their information. Iron Mountain provides a broad range of information
management solutions, which address data protection, archiving,
compliance and eDiscovery needs, for a wide range of Microsoft platforms
including Microsoft Windows(R) 7, Microsoft Server 2008, Microsoft
Exchange, Microsoft SharePoint(R), and Microsoft System Center. The Iron
Mountain information management solutions are available as on-premise,
cloud and hybrid solutions.
"Over the past year, Microsoft and Iron Mountain have been working
together to extend System Center Data Protection Manager capabilities to
the enterprise, so customers can safely and securely store and manage
their data online and off-site," said Paul Ross, group product marketing
manager, System Center Marketing at Microsoft Corp. "With Microsoft DPM
2010 and the new version of CloudRecovery from Iron Mountain, customers
can get the benefits of Iron Mountain's seamless integration to DPM
backed up to Iron Mountain's secure data centers, along with a host of
new DPM 2010 enhancements."
"All but the most risk-inclined organizations adopt a data protection
strategy that includes an off-site copy of data for recovery. As more
companies adopt a local disk-based backup strategy, the option of
leveraging cloud storage services for an off-premises copy becomes a
more popular choice," said Lauren Whitehouse, senior analyst, Enterprise
Strategy Group. "Iron Mountain's CloudRecovery solution provides an
extra layer of protection to the data that Microsoft System Center Data
Protection Manager captures and stores, backed by a trusted cloud
services provider. With this new release, Microsoft DPM customers can
achieve seamless integration with the Iron Mountain cloud."
The Iron Mountain CloudRecovery solution can natively protect the DPM
server and data through automatic and secure transmission to Iron
Mountain's underground data centers. The solution extends the capacity
of the on-site DPM server by providing automated, reliable online backup
and archiving of DPM-protected data, with the flexibility for customers
to choose their data retention policies ranging from 30 days to 7 years.
