Backup and archiving vendor Iron Mountain Digital is set to launch its Virtual File Store channel programme.

Due to roll out across Europe in April, the cloud-based storage-as-a-service model will integrate with the vendor’s existing programme.

Richard Ellis, sales manager for UK and Ireland at Iron Mountain Digital, said the hosted partner platform can provide 0.5TB-0.5PB of data.

“This service will be well suited for our managed service provider and traditional VAR partners,” he said.

“Customers do not have to provide a large capital investment because it is integrated with the existing infrastructure and fits into the monthly operating budget.”
