TORONTO--(Marketwire - May 2, 2011) - Geminare Incorporated, a recognized leader in the Recovery as a Service market, today announced a revolutionary addition to its Cloud-based Data Protection Suite which, in conjunction with Iron Mountain's (NYSE: IRM) LiveVault^® offering, allows customers and prospects to take advantage of the synergies between the LiveVault^® service and the new Rapid Recovery and Business Continuity for LiveVault^® functionality.

Joshua B. Geist, CEO of Geminare Incorporated, stated, "Iron Mountain is one of the most trusted brands in the world, and we're delighted to be aligned with them for the Business Continuity and Rapid Recovery for LiveVault products. The company protects the data of tens of thousands of servers around the world; now, every one of those servers can be further protected with advanced data and disaster recovery services. Both are absolutely ideal extensions to LiveVault customers."

The real problem areas, such as preparing the server, knowing the configuration and not only quickly restoring the data but also the application -- are all taken care of by Geminare's enabling rapid recovery."

Storage Strategies NOW founding analyst, Deni Connor, added, "Geminare is driving the shift in disaster recovery solutions from 'exclusive' to 'accessible' with the addition of VSRR to their cloud-based portfolio. Finally, there is an affordable, mid-market option between traditional online backup and full-scale real-time replication that lets customers recover quickly and at a very low price point."
