Customer success stories
Carbonite
The challenge:
Carbonite needed to find a partner that could provide data resilience, security, compliance, certifications and physical locations that were not susceptible to disasters. The company wanted to get out of the business of managing its own data center and focus on helping their existing customer base.The results:
Carbonite was able to leverage Iron Mountain for their deployment and focus on the service they provides to its customers rather than worrying about owning and managing their own internal data center.
In their words:
“The partnership that Carbonite has with Iron Mountain has always been based on trust. They have been focused on our business and that has been very important to us.”
