Iron Mountain Snags Mimosa
February 24, 2010
I read in the Microsoft centric publication “Iron Mountain Acquires Mimosa.” Iron Mountain began to grow when records management took off. The company has been riding high on the digital data glut. According to the write up:
Mimosa is the rapidly growing provider of premises-based e-mail and file-based content archival solutions called NearPoint. The Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, popular among Exchange and SharePoint shops, last month announced its 1,000th customer. Though it was founded in 2003, more than 300 of its NearPoint systems were sold last year. By acquiring Mimosa, Iron Mountain can offer premises-based archival and e-discovery it has not been able to offer before.
More information about Mimosa is at http://www.mimosasystems.com.
Iron Mountain also owns Stratify, formerly Purple Yogi. Now with all that digital data, how will Iron Mountain customers search, retrieve, process, and manipulate those information objects? When I know the answer, I will let you know. My recollection is that Mimosa has a basic search system, but it is not the fire-breathing dragon that some vendors have in their menagerie.

No one paid me to write this. Because I reference a mineral, iron, I think I have to report free work to the USGS.
