Verification
Services Options
| 1. |
Initial
Verification -
Consistency.
|
| 1.1. |
Iron
Mountain shall perform an initial verification (“Initial Verification”) of
the Deposit Material upon receipt of the first deposit and for each
update. To help perform this evaluation, Iron Mountain will examine
the
Exhibit B, and request that the Depositor complete an Escrow Deposit
Questionnaire. Iron Mountain will then analyze the Escrow Deposit
Questionnaire and Exhibit B, prepare and deliver a report to Depositor
and
Beneficiary containing its finding(s) and opinion(s) as to the Deposit
consistency based on the information supplied. Iron Mountain’s report will
include information regarding:
|
| 1.1.1. |
The
hardware and software configuration(s) needed to read the Deposit
Material
media associated with the Exhibit
B;
|
| 1.1.2. |
The
software needed to interpret the data read from the media (i.e. Zip,
tar,
cvs type files); and
|
| 1.1.3. |
The
hardware and software configurations needed to compile the software
product defined by the Exhibit B.
|
| 2. |
Level
One (1) - Inventory.
|
| 2.1. |
This
series of verification tests provides insight into whether the necessary
information required to recreate the Depositor’s development environment
has been properly stored in escrow. These tests detect errors that
often
inhibit effective use of the escrow
deposit.
|
| 2.2. |
Steps
include:
Analyzing deposit media readability, virus scanning, developing file
classification tables, identifying the presence/absence of build
instructions, and identifying materials required to recreate the
Depositor's software development
environment.
|
| 2.3. |
Deliverables:
At
completion of testing, Iron Mountain will distribute a report to
Beneficiary detailing Iron Mountain’s investigation. This report will
include build instructions, file classification tables and listings.
In
addition, the report will list required software development materials,
including, without limitation, required source code languages and
compilers, third-Party software, libraries, operating systems, and
hardware, as well as Iron Mountain’s analysis of the deposit. When
identifying materials required to re-create Depositor’s software
development environment, Iron Mountain will rely on information provided
in Depositor’s completed questionnaire (obtained via a Iron Mountain
verification representative) and/or information gathered during Iron
Mountain’s testing experience.
|
| 3.1. |
This
series of tests includes a standard effort to compile the Deposit
Material
and build executable code.
|
| 4.1. |
Level
III verification consists of testing the functionality of the compiled
Deposit Material (in a production setting or similar environment)
and can
be accomplished through one of the following three
options:
|
| 4.1.1. |
Option
A
-
With the Depositor’s approval, executables created by Iron Mountain during
Level II testing are provided to the Beneficiary for functionality
testing.
|
| 4.1.2. |
Option
B
-
The Beneficiary provides Iron Mountain with a copy of its licensed
executables. Iron Mountain compares the executables created during
Level
II testing with the licensed executables and provides a comparison
report
to all Parties.
|
| 4.1.4. |
Services
may be provided by Iron Mountain or individuals or organizations
employed
by or under contract with Iron Mountain, at the discretion of Iron
Mountain.
