LiveVault 7.0 Delivers Increased Scalability for Application and
Server Backup
BOSTON, May 25, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) --Iron
Mountain Incorporated (NYSE: IRM), the information management
company, today announced the availability of LiveVault
7.0, a solution designed to meet the application and server backup needs
of mid-sized companies. Iron Mountain's cloud-based data protection
solution comes with increased scalability to protect large servers and
environments and built-in data deduplication technology.
The LiveVault solution is a fully managed, cloud-based data protection
solution with proactive administration and monitoring. Iron Mountain
manages not only the storage and protection of the information, but also
the data protection processes, removing the burden of backup tasks from
IT administrators so that they can focus on business-critical projects.
The latest version of LiveVault allows customers to protect seven
terabytes of data per server and restore data fast through the
TurboRestore(TM) onsite appliance. LiveVault 7.0 also includes enhanced
vulnerability management and threat detection programs to safeguard
customer information.
"In California, earthquakes are a part of life, so we need to ensure our
data is protected and available should a catastrophic event occur," said
Mark Heryer, IT manager, Pipeline Systems, Inc., a world leader in
pipeline engineering services. "LiveVault is an incredible data
protection offering compared to traditional tape and in-house data
deduplication. No other cloud-based backup solution in the market comes
close. The solution is one of the best ideas I have seen for the cloud
and I have peace of mind knowing my data is safe and protected with Iron
Mountain."
"The enhancements made in Iron Mountain's LiveVault 7.0 help IT
organizations in mid-sized businesses address the information management
challenges resulting from relentless data growth and greater dependence
on digital content," said Lauren Whitehouse, senior analyst, Enterprise
Strategy Group. "Iron Mountain embodies robustness as a cloud data
protection provider and offers businesses a full spectrum of information
management solutions."
For the initial deployment of the solution, customers can use a
LiveVault data shuttle service to transfer multi-terabytes of data
quickly and securely to Iron Mountain's underground data centers. In the
event of disaster recovery or large data restores, the service allows
customers to restore server data at Iron Mountain's data center and have
it shipped to them potentially before their electricity or Internet
services are even available.
"We've seen a growing interest among mid-sized companies to use the
cloud for protecting data. Our LiveVault solution accommodates their
needs through a managed service without the headaches of traditional
backup architecture," said T.M. Ravi, chief marketing officer, Iron
Mountain Digital. "Customers can protect their servers in a
heterogeneous environment with built-in data deduplication. They can
also reduce the risks and costs associated with their information, while
optimizing the value of their information by leveraging Iron Mountain's
solutions for archiving and eDiscovery."
