Iron Mountain supply their software to their Partners via two main options: Subscription and licence. Subscription based Partners use very latest technology and source their data centres directly from Iron Mountain therefore receiving updates and hot fixes when any issues arise. This means that their customers will always have the most recent versions of the software which in this case is capable of backing up and restoring the widest range of file types.

Your experience suggests your desktop support company are in fact using a licensed version of the connected software which will be limited to the software they purchased and may be some years old. By choosing a vendor that scrimps on technology you’ve unfortunately been left with a bitter taste of the connected product. I would advise you take this up with your provider and find out what version they are running. Alternatively, going straight to Iron Mountain themselves and asking for a referral to a trusted partner and trialling it, or even buying directly from IM will ensure you can always receive the latest version.

Glad you’re still looking into Online Backup though, Hope you find something that works!

Yeah I profiled and know exactly what’s time consuming. Unfortunately it’s the sauce

I do all my random draws prior to starting the runs, so the QRMlib process doesn’t hold things up. In my sims I take my random draw and then do some curve fitting to resolve a number of relationships then it has to calculate gains/losses for 40K+ policy units. It’s basically the valuation of the policies that takes the longest.

Probably a reasonable analogy would be valuing 40K+ options in 40 markets.

Have you profiled your code to determine the bottleneck? Is it something in QRMlib or does your secret sauce need some spice?

Best,
Josh
