Iron Mountain Digital launches Email Continuity service
in Europe

~ delivers immediate and low cost business continuity solution addressing most critical enterprise application – email ~

August 30, 2006 - Iron Mountain Digital, the technology unit of Iron Mountain Incorporated (NYSE:IRM), the global leader in information protection and storage services, has launched a new Email Continuity service in Europe.

Iron Mountain’s Email Continuity service is designed to help businesses ensure their most critical communication and productivity tool is always available. It has been developed in response to the rising cost of email downtime, which can seriously impact on a company’s ability to continue its normal business activities and recover quickly in a time of crisis.

The service is a highly scaleable standby email system that guarantees continuous access to emails, contacts and calendars and other vital business and personal data often stored within email systems.

It provides simple and effective email continuity in three steps.  Firstly, corporate email is securely synchronised to top-tier data centres across Europe. Secondly, the email continuity service is immediately activated when the primary email platform goes down. Within minutes, employees have direct access to a fully functional Web-based email system, allowing them to send and receive email from their standard corporate email account. Finally, once email has been restored, all mails sent or received during the emergency are seamlessly and automatically merged into the company’s primary email system.
“Email has become the most pervasive form of business communication, impacting every aspect of an organisation. No business, large or small, is immune from the risks that cause serious disruptions or total failure of email systems,” said Hartmut Wagner, managing director for Europe at Iron Mountain Digital. “Email outages can cost companies millions of pounds in lost revenue and productivity and companies must have an email recovery and continuity strategy in place to ensure it’s business as usual in the face of a disaster.”

The Email Continuity service is fully compatible with Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Notes email systems, as well as BlackBerry and other mobile devices. The price of the solution is based on the total number of mail boxes. For further information please contact Iron Mountain Digital at infouk@ironmountain.com.
