September 25, 2006 - Iron Mountain Digital, the technology arm of Iron Mountain Incorporated (NYSE: IRM), and its strategic partner, Backup Direct, have already signed an additional ten new partners in the first month of a UK channel recruitment drive.

"The partners recruited through Backup Direct's expertise are best of breed in their relevant sectors and are committed to providing their customers with the best products for their needs, as well as excellent after-sales service."

"Iron Mountain Digital's portfolio of online backup services provides corporate-class services at affordable prices for the SMB marketplace. This offers a business opportunity to the resellers whose customers rely on them for IT infrastructure and services," said Brett Raynes, managing director, Backup Direct. "We've had an extremely successful start to the channel push, which we fully expect to continue throughout the next 12 months."
