Iron Mountain Announces Domain Name Center at INTA Annual Meeting

Professional Web Tool Delivers More Effective Domain Name Management

May 16, 2005

SAN DIEGO - INTA Annual Meeting, Booth #621 - Iron Mountain Incorporated (NYSE:IRM) today announced the Iron Mountain Connect Domain Name Center customer portal, here at the International Trademark Association (INTA) Annual Meeting. Continuing to develop state-of-the-art customer tools, the Intellectual Property Management business unit has enhanced Domain Name Center, the eighth-generation online tool that gives clients a central point of control to manage all of their domain name records and policies across multiple subsidiaries, divisions and cost centers – in any top-level domain.

The exclusive technology of Domain Name Center makes it easy to update domain records and minimizes the time spent administering and enforcing company domain name policy and procedures. By increasing the level of control in the management process with different levels of access, Domain Name Center reduces the risk of unauthorized changes to a company’s domain name portfolio. Accessed through the Iron Mountain Connect customer portal, a Web-based information management system that provides a single point of access for managing all the services in an Iron Mountain client portfolio, users can log on to their Domain Name Center account 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This access allows clients to design, manage and enforce domain name policy, produce reports, manage DNS zone files, set multiple invoice profiles and performs a variety of other tasks. Users benefit from noticeable savings in time and effort while increasing their responsiveness to internal requests.

Iron Mountain works with large corporate clients that typically have between 50 and 15,000 domain names in their inventory. As these companies increasingly tie their trademarks – and their companies’ future – to the global capabilities of the Internet, management and protection of associated domain name records becomes a critical task. With the introduction of Domain Name Center, clients have a superior professional online tool for domain name management, allowing them to more efficiently manage, protect, and leverage their domain name assets.

“Iron Mountain’s Domain Name Center gives our clients the freedom to conduct online availability searches, registration, renewal, transfer, modification and management of domain names within a single, secure online environment,” stated Jeffrey Johnson, senior vice president and general manager of Iron Mountain’s Intellectual Property Management business unit. “And, as an ICANN accredited registrar, Iron Mountain can now directly connect to registries, further streamlining the fulfillment process to clients for registrations, modifications and transfers.”

Additional benefits of Domain Name Center include no need to install additional software, the ability to set up detailed registration policy profiles, automatic renewal and payment, and the ability to manage work request flow electronically. Also, Iron Mountain customers receive a complimentary records audit and validation to create their baseline domain name inventory portfolio. Domain Name Center helps to maintain control of the portfolio by ensuring that their records remain consistent with enterprise wide policies, eliminating risky, non-standard registration activity.

Domain Name Center is available immediately and is part of domain name management services offered by Iron Mountain today at no additional cost. Although the system was built to facilitate online domain name management, a dedicated personal account manager is always available to all Iron Mountain domain name clients. Domain Name Center access is set up automatically when new domain name services are initiated with Iron Mountain. In its efforts to facilitate the protection of intellectual property, Iron Mountain’s Intellectual Property Management business unit also recently introduced Escrow Management Center for the online, real-time management of technology escrow accounts.

Iron Mountain will demonstrate Domain Name Center this week at the International Trademark Association (INTA) Annual Meeting in San Diego, May 14-18th.Please stop by Booth #621 to see the demonstration.
