Iron Mountain Named 2026 Google Cloud Partner of the Year, Business Applications: Media & Entertainment

PORTSMOUTH, N.H.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Iron Mountain (NYSE: IRM), a global leader in information management services, has been named 2026 Google Cloud Partner of the Year, Business Applications: Media & Entertainment. This prestigious award recognizes partners that build innovative solutions on Google Cloud to solve complex business challenges and drive significant industry impact.

Iron Mountain combines its archival and preservation expertise, cutting-edge AI content and discovery technology, and Google Cloud’s Vertex AI and Vision Warehouse to unlock the value of over 100 million media assets. The company helps major music studios, record labels, broadcasters, and sports teams solve the "trilemma" of security, accessibility, and monetization. By digitizing "at-risk" legacy formats and securing them in geo-redundant Google Cloud digital vaults, media and entertainment customers can immediately leverage their archives for brand storytelling and licensing.

Mithu Bhargava, Executive Vice President, Digital Solutions at Iron Mountain, said: "This award reinforces Iron Mountain’s commitment to helping industries navigate the digital frontier. Our physical preservation experience and Google Cloud’s AI scalability helps ensure the stories of our time are safe, searchable, and ready for the world."

“The Google Cloud Partner Awards honor the strategic innovation and measurable value our partners bring to customers,” said Kevin Ichhpurani, President, Global Partner Ecosystem and Channels, Google Cloud. “We are proud to name Iron Mountain a 2026 Google Cloud Partner Award winner, celebrating their role in driving customer success over the last year.”

Iron Mountain InSight^® DXP is an AI-powered intelligent content platform capable of managing complex 4K/8K video and multi-track audio files that generic storage solutions cannot handle effectively. The new InSight DXP AI Agent allows users to interact with managed content libraries using natural language, while maintaining strict records management and compliance standards.

The McLaren Mastercard Formula 1 Team has trusted Iron Mountain to help protect and activate its 60-year legacy. This includes digitizing decades of archives - from blueprints to film footage - to increase fan engagement and provide future insights. Fans can experience McLaren’s heritage and racing story at an immersive event in Miami from April 29th to May 3rd, supported by Iron Mountain, Google and many of McLaren’s other partners.
