Iron Mountain Extends Strategic Partnership With Carbonite
Iron Mountain Incorporated IRM recently announced plans to strengthen its strategic partnership with Carbonite, Inc. CARB.
Particularly, the partnership will enable Iron Mountain to integrate the Carbonite Data Protection Platform into its data management platform, Iron Cloud. This will aid businesses in safeguarding and improving recoverability of important data in case of any data loss, cyber-attack or disaster.
Iron Cloud enables organizations to make use of hybrid data management strategy in multi-cloud environments, driving operational efficiency and value from data, as well as ensuring security for each storage tier. The Carbonite Data Protection Platform offers robust data protection solutions that can be adapted by businesses across a range of IT environments.
The company is making efforts to deliver data protection solutions on the back of innovative measures and strategic relationships with preeminent industry players. Management believes that combining the company’s data management platform and data centers with Carbonite’s comprehensive data protection platform will enhance its ability to offer data protection to customers.
In the recent months, it has been beefing up its Data-Center Services offerings. Most recently, Iron Mountain added Secure Shredding Services to its General Services Administration (GSA) Schedule 36.
