Iron Mountain supports IT asset lifecycle management with services for many industries.

IT asset lifecycle management (ALM)

Protect your data. Protect the environment. Protect your bottom line.

Protect your data. Protect the environment. Protect your bottom line.

Your company’s data is valuable — to you, to competitors, and to cybercriminals. From the time it is created until it is securely destroyed, data is one of your most powerful resources.

To protect your data, it’s imperative to protect the hardware assets your data resides on through effective asset lifecycle management (ALM).

What is IT asset lifecycle management?

It’s a strategic approach to IT asset management that protects your data, ensures optimised use, maximises your return on investment, and minimises your environmental impact.

We can partner with you to develop a programme that cares for your assets from deployment and active usage to retirement and disposition, supported by our industry-leading data security and sustainability measures.

Iron Mountain’s ALM services include:

  • Configuration, imaging, asset tagging, rollout, and discovery
  • Inventory management and deployment
  • Decommissioning and data erasure
  • Remarketing, reclaiming, and recycling to recover value

Here’s how our approach to ALM elevates your IT practices to help you maximise efficiency, reduce risk, increase competitive advantage, and exceed your environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals.
