Organizations are increasingly relying on cloud-based backup and
disaster recovery tools to protect their critical data and business
operations. Iron Mountain (NYSE:IRM) and Seagate Technology plc

brings together distinct capabilities in security, services, and
scale from two industry leading information storage and management
companies. Seagate will co-locate parts of its data center
operations to Iron Mountain’s National Underground Data Center.
Additionally, Iron Mountain will resell Seagate EVault Cloud Server
Backup and Cloud Disaster Recovery solutions.
“This partnership offers customers a unique combination of
technology and trust,” said Jason Buffington, senior data
protection analyst for the Enterprise Strategy Group. “Combining
Seagate’s expertise as an early innovator in hybrid data
protection, built on on-premises appliances and cloud repositories;
with Iron Mountain’s solid reputation as a trusted protector of
data and assets, should be a welcome pairing for customers and
partners looking for hybrid protection. As the business
continuity/disaster recovery market continues to evolve, this
combination will be one to watch and partner with moving
forward.”

management leaders,” said Mike Palmer, senior vice president and
general manager of Cloud Systems and Solutions at Seagate. “The
unique combination of our cloud systems and solutions being housed
in Iron Mountain’s highly secure and compliant data center provides
organizations with unparalleled security, reliability, and
confidence.”
