    No. 6: Iron Mountain

    Iron Mountain keeps making news for the wrong reasons. In 2005, it was embarrassing lost tapes. This year, fires to its London and Ottawa facilities cost it $7 million of operating income so far and resulted in more lost customer records. Also, the State Fair of Texas sued an Iron Mountain subsidiary claiming its employees stole and resold coupons that should have been destroyed. With Iron Mountain overhauling and expanding its digital archive and associated services to regain customer trust, 2007 could be a pivotal year for the archiving firm.

    No. 5: Mendocino Software

    Mendocino is trying to avoid the fate of its fellow CDP pioneer, Revivio, which effectively went out of business until Symantec scooped up its assets. Unlike Revivio, Mendocino picked a partner strategy and tried to make it on the strength of OEM deals with EMC and Hewlett-Packard. It lost its EMC deal this year, and will try for new alliances after revamping its software.
