Iron Mountain to shutter cloud storage service

Iron Mountain did not on the spur of the moment respond to a request for comment by Computerworld, nevertheless the company told Gartner it plans to shut down its online storage business no sooner that the first half of 2013.

To date, public cloud storage IaaS has had a modest level of adoption. Not by the by, all three service providers go-to-market strategies focused purely on cloud storage unaccompanied by any cloud compute services. Now, only Nirvanix and Zetta remain as pure-play public cloud providers of network attached storage, Gartner said in a statement.

In response to the impending closure of the storage-as-a-service offering, Nirvanix today said it will offer all current Iron Mountain clients free data migration services to its Nirvanix Cloud Storage Network, along with free unlimited storage for 30 days.
