Storage-as-a-Service Solutions Bridge Digital and Physical Information Management at InfoSecurity Europe

Iron Mountain to present portfolio for secure physical and digital information management and business continuity services at InfoSecurity Europe

LONDON - April 6th 2009 – At this year’s InfoSecurity Europe event in London (28-30 April), Iron Mountain will showcase its complete portfolio of secure physical and digital information management services.

Through its Storage-as–a-Service-(StaaS) concept, Iron Mountain combines physical and digital information  management solutions to help resolve the complex challenges of today’s information age: maintaining high levels of information security; simplifying data management complexity; cutting storage costs in the face of  growing volumes of data; conformity with increasingly stringent compliance guidelines; and minimising risks in the areas of disaster recovery, business continuity, litigation and compliance. 

Whether in physical or digital format, it is increasingly important for organisations to consider these factors and implement policies and systems to ensure business critical information is highly secure and highly accessible – from day-to-day use, or in the face of disaster or data loss.

Iron Mountain is one of the few worldwide suppliers to fulfil these demands for the all-inclusive management of both digital information and records. At InfoSecurity Europe, attendees can speak to Iron Mountain’s experts about Storage-as-a-Service solutions and Iron Mountain’s additional offerings:
- Highly secure and compliant back-up, archival, recovery and access to decentralised information on laptops, PCs and file servers.
- Active file management solutions and services. Organisations can securely archive and easily manage their original paper documents and digitised copies off-site at Iron Mountain’s records management centres. Depending on specific needs, physical documents can be quickly located and delivered to clients, and scanned and digitised documents can be called up directly online from anywhere in the world.
- Consultation on issues ranging from disaster recovery, business continuity, compliance and information management.

Customers who use Iron Mountain’s services typically note a reduction in costs, and increase in quality of service as key benefits. For example, de-duplication and compression technology can reduce backup volume by 80 per cent, and the StaaS model lowers digital storage costs by 20 to 50 per cent. Iron Mountain’s information management services typically reduce customers’ physical storage costs by 25 to 50 per cent by storing records off-site in Iron Mountain’s high-density records management centres.

With over 120,000 corporate clients and more than 55 years of  experience in information management, Iron Mountain has earned a reputation as a trusted advisor and solutions provider, and was recently ranked number two in Fortune Magazine’s “World’s Most Admired Companies: 2009” list in the Diversified Outsourcing Services industry.
