CommVault Joins Iron Mountain’s Developer Program
Partnership Will Offer CommVault Customers Access to Iron Mountain’s Secure Enterprise Cloud Storage
BOSTON (Feb. 1, 2010) – 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® 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® 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,” said Todd 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.
