Iron Mountain And EMC Enter Strategic Relationship For Cloud Services
Iron Mountain has launched a cloud data replication service for EMC Data Domain and Avamar Systems.
Iron Mountain® Incorporated and EMC have 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.
