Iron Mountain Establishes Digital Business Unit

Iron Mountain Inc. announced the formation of its Digital business unit upon completing the integration of recently acquired Connected Corp.

The company reports that it is experiencing significant demand for its technology solutions for archiving and protecting corporate information.

Former Connected Chief Operating Officer John Clancy was appointed executive vice president for the Iron Mountain's Digital business unit. "This is an exciting time for us, having moved beyond market acceptance and into market leadership for our technology solutions and services," said Clancy. "With a dedicated focus, Iron Mountain's Digital business is organized to quickly respond to customer needs in the rapidly growing data protection and archiving market. Complementing this agility is the foundation of the world's trusted partner for records management and data protection, affording us the ability to take a long-term view and make the right investments for our customers and for the business."

Several trends are driving Iron Mountain’s records management and data protection businesses, including heightened regulatory compliance requirements, the need for real-time litigation response, the requirement to contain storage costs, and the ever-present need for disaster recovery readiness.
