Iron Mountain is not the only vendor playing in this space, and rival Zantaz told Byte and Switch that its own base pricing is in a similar range, adding that volume discounts are also available based on the amount of storage used.
At this stage, Iron Mountain is keeping details of its beta customers close to its chest, although Hegarty told Byte and Switch that the firm is handling Tbytes of data for "several" customers.
The exec was a little more forthcoming on the topic of Bedrock, a storage grid to underpin Iron Mountain's digital archiving efforts. "It will be very scalable, very cheap -- there will be dynamic replication and WORM-type storage."
Active Archiving will eventually be plugged into Bedrock, as will Iron Mountain's LiveVault and Connected offerings. The exec even hinted that Bedrock could reduce the cost of email archiving, although he did not reveal specifics. "I would expect that this would be more of a 2008 or 2009 solution."
While Iron Mountain has its sights focused on structured data, Kazeon will be unveiling a consulting service geared toward unstructured data on Monday. (See The Ongoing Search and Kazeon Reduces Cost of E-Discovery.)
