Iron Mountain's PC and Server Data Protection Solutions Now Available in Canada
Company Opens New Data Center in Toronto in effort to help Canadian Businesses meet Privacy Compliance
BOSTON, MA - August 21, 2007 - Iron Mountain Incorporated
(NYSE:IRM), the global leader in information protection and storage
services, today announced that its Connected® Backup for PC and
LiveVault® Server Backup solutions are now available directly to
Canadian businesses via a new data center operated by the Company in
Toronto, Canada. Now, businesses in Canada can enjoy the benefits of
the world's leading PC and Server data protection solutions knowing
their data is stored and protected in a Canadian data center operated
by Iron Mountain.
In today's global business environment, ever-growing regulations
combined with the explosive growth of data, make data protection and
recovery a key priority for all organizations, regardless of location.
Increased risks, ranging from natural disasters and human threats; to
security breaches from viruses, worms and hackers; to the development
of a litigious environment demanding quick retrieval for discovery
purposes, can also make data protection and recovery extremely
challenging.
"Increasing regulations, such as British Columbia's Bill 73 that
amended the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act,
mandated that Governmental agencies in British Columbia in possession
of personal data relating to individuals residing in British Columbia
must retain such data in Canada," said Pierre Matteau, senior vice
president, Iron Mountain Canada. "With the addition of our first
Canadian data centers, Canadian businesses now have the comfort of
partnering with Iron Mountain to store and protect their data, while
maintaining compliance with today's regulations."
Iron Mountain's comprehensive distributed data protection solutions
help thousands of corporations and tens of thousands of companies
automatically and reliably back up and recover server and PC data; meet
regulatory compliance requirements and contain storage costs. Iron
Mountain's Connected Backup for PC solution is the undisputed No. 1
solution for automatic desktop and laptop data protection and recovery.
The Connected Backup for PC solution virtually eliminates the risk of
PC data loss by automatically backing up desktop and laptop computers
as users go about their normal tasks. Additionally, Iron Mountain's
LiveVault server backup is a complete server data protection solution
for small and medium businesses, as well as remote offices and sites.
Combining proven disk and online technologies, LiveVault radically
simplifies the protection of servers including file, database,
application and Microsoft Exchange servers, eliminating the burden of
tape backup.
"We've had a growing demand from our customers worldwide for data
protection solutions and services," said John Clancy, president, Iron
Mountain Digital, the technology arm of Iron Mountain. "In addition to
opening the data center in Canada, Iron Mountain Digital is actively
broadening its global data center presence and in the process of
opening a series of data centers outside of the U.S. and Canada, to
better support our customers wherever they do business."
