Public TV channel sues Iron Mountain data center after its cloud storage vendor goes out of business, losing over 70 years of archival materials and programming

A data center in a blue light.
  • Nine PBS in St. Louis sues to recover roughly 50 terabytes of archive spanning seven decades after cloud vendor Open Source Storage went defunct and cut off access on the day its contract expired
  • Iron Mountain says it never had access to the data, arguing it rents physical space to OSS and that handing over a third party's hardware would have breached its contracts and exposed other clients' data
  • A Denver judge has since ruled that Nine PBS owns the material and ordered cooperation on retrieval within 30 days

Nine PBS, the public television station in St. Louis, has sued Iron Mountain Data Centers in Denver District Court, seeking the return of roughly 50 terabytes of archival material sitting in a Denver facility.
