Iron Mountain joins EMC Corporation’s Business Partner Program as a
Cloud Service Provider, Launches Cloud Data Replication Service for EMC
Data Domain and Avamar Systems
BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Enterprise businesses are challenged with managing the trade-offs
between exploding data growth, stringent availability and security
requirements and tighter IT budgets. Iron
Mountain® Incorporated (NYSE: IRM) and EMC
(NYSE: EMC) announced a strategic relationship today to deliver cloud
backup and replication services which will help customers optimize their
on-premise and off-premise data protection strategy. This is a natural
alliance for both businesses. EMC is the industry leader for purpose
built backup appliances and Iron Mountain is an industry leader in
offsite data vaulting - services customers usually buy together. Iron
Mountain is also one of the only providers to offer Data Domain
replication to the cloud with ‘tape out’ capabilities and a service to
help customers migrate from tape management.
“Our collaboration with EMC means companies can protect their data
offsite, improve their disaster recovery processes and benefit from the
scalability and efficiency that the cloud provides,” said Eileen
Sweeney, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Data Management,
Iron Mountain. “We look forward to continuing to meet the needs of our
customers as they look for new and innovative means to manage their
data.”
“We’re excited to have Iron Mountain as a Cloud Service Provider in our
Business Partner Program,” said Jim Clancy, Senior Vice President of
Data Protection Solutions, EMC Corporation. “When you consider Iron
Mountain’s security, compliance and off-site data protection expertise
combined with EMC’s market-leading technology, the result is a solution
ideal for our shared customers.”
The Iron Mountain® Cloud Data Replication hosts fully managed Data
Domain and Avamar replication targets in highly secure and compliant
Iron Mountain data center facilities. Iron Mountain provides secure,
high-speed, reliable network connectivity to make replication efficient
over the wide area network (WAN). The solution securely replicates your
critical data offsite. As a result, customers can:
-
Fully protect data offsite: Replicate critical data to a fully
managed Data Domain target hosted in a secure, compliant Iron Mountain
data center.
-
Modernize disaster recovery process: Eliminate legacy tape and
backup infrastructures, simplify recovery, and protect data for the
long term.
-
Leverage cloud scalability and efficiency: Pay as you go with
the help of capacity-based subscription pricing that is driven by
optimized secure multi-tenancy.
EMC and Iron Mountain will discuss the benefits of this solution during
a webinar,
“Cloud, Disk or Tape? What You Absolutely Need to Know to Optimize Data
Protection.” Moderated by MTM Technologies’ Bill Kleyman, and presented
by Iron Mountain’s Sam Gopal and EMC’s J.P. Corriveau, the webinar will
cover market trends and industry perspectives, customer benchmarks for
solution maturity and discuss best practices on optimizing backup and
off-site data protection. The webinar is scheduled to take place at 1 pm
EDT on Wednesday, April 29. To register for this event, please visit http://bit.ly/1FTFwA8.
From May 4-7, Iron Mountain will be exhibiting (Booth #175) at 2015 EMC
World at The Venetian, Las Vegas, Nevada. Iron Mountain’s Gopal will
speak in a session, “Inside Look at Data Domain Software,” scheduled for
12 pm PDT on Monday, May 4. This session provides an in-depth look at

Domain software options - that power EMC’s industry leading protection
storage. Learn how the Data Domain Operating System delivers scalable,
high-speed protection storage. In addition, discover ways to optimize
