July 2009 by Marc Jacob
Iron Mountain Digital, the technology arm of Iron Mountain Incorporated and provider of STorage-as-a-Service (STaaS) for backup and archiving, announced that it has signed its first European customer for its recently launched Virtual File Store™ service.
Iron Mountain’s Virtual File Store solution is an enterprise-class cloud-based data archiving service designed to help companies reduce the costs of storing and managing inactive data. Multinational IT security company, Integralis chose Virtual File Store due to its proven ability to achieve efficiencies for businesses.
Integralis currently uses the Virtual File Store solution to store inactive data and Iron Mountain’s LiveVault® server backup and recovery solution to protect its active operational data. With the Virtual File Store service in place, Integralis anticipate a 30 percent reduction in storage spend in the future. In particular, the company has found that specifically by combining LiveVault® and Virtual File Storage services, significant cost efficiencies can be made to the business.
Integralis currently combines Iron Mountain Digital’s Connected® Backup for PC, Connected® Backup for Server and LiveVault® server backup and recovery solution for protecting and managing its information.
