Iron Mountain Signs on as Google Cloud Premier Services Partner by Jennifer Burl

So you've made the decision to store your data into the cloud, but you need to know how you can migrate TBs or PBs of data with your limited network bandwidth, budget and experience. As a new a Google Cloud Premier Service Partner, Iron Mountain teams up with Google Cloud Storage Nearline to help our customers address this challenge. As experts in the areas of data migration, security and chain-of-custody, we have the experience and the high-speed infrastructure to move your data safely and efficiently, and our new partnership with Google further strengthens that ability.

Google Cloud Storage Nearline was created with the idea that it's important to keep the world's growing data safe, yet still easily accessible. After all, today's companies can't afford to throw data away due to compliance issues, but they also don't wish to spend outrageous amounts of money on storage solutions as it continues to grow rapidly.

A simple, quick and cost-effective storage service with fast data backup, retrieval and access, Google Cloud Storage Nearline allows users to easily backup and store limitless amounts of data for a reasonable cost and access it anytime in a matter of seconds.

Nearline offers unmatched performance and price for long-term storage. Some highlights of the solution include: full integration with other Google Cloud Storage services, an extremely low cost at 1 cent for GB for data at rest, 3 second response times for data retrieval (to improve SLAs!) and redundant storage at multiple physical locations to fully protect your data.

The partnership between Google and Iron Mountain will make adopting Nearline a seamless experience for our customers. We are working with Google technical team to develop an on-ramp to the cloud via an offline ingestion service. Crafted with our dedication to data, logistics and security in mind, the Iron Mountain program offers companies with massive amounts of data and limited network connectivity the opportunity to simply send your disks to our secure locations, where they'll be uploaded directly into the new Google Nearline platform.

How exactly does this process of uploading, or seeding, information work? Follow these three simple steps:

Save your data to hard drives or LTFS tapes. Ship them to us through your preferred courier service.

Iron Mountain data migration experts will upload your data to the Google Cloud using secure, high speed infrastructure, with every step following our chain of custody.

Finally, we can send the storage media back to you, store it within our offsite vault, or securely destroy it. The choice is up to you!

Iron Mountain is the business that large and small corporations turn to for secure data management. If you haven't invested in cloud solutions with us yet, there's never been a better time. For more information, contact Iron Mountain for a free quote today.
