How does it work?

Cloud Backup – Adopting a new backup strategy and migrating to a new technology can be complex and costly. Iron Mountain’s cloud backup solution offers a flexible approach to back-up with differing levels of support and scale depending on your requirements.

Offsite tape storage provides a practical and cost-effective solution for protecting business data offsite, offline and out of reach. And when you do need it, our 24/7 emergency response, along with proven best practices, means you know exactly where your data is and how quickly it can be retrieved. With threats like ransomware, storing your data and media remotely offers the most secure data storage option for your business.
