Iron Mountain Welcomes More Data: Yours

Announcing Expanded Data Center Facilities and Services

In the past few years, the word zettabyte slipped in to our collective lexicon The demand for data storage is ever increasing and stewards of byte upon byte of valuable information from health and financial records to personnel files and intellectual property organizations are seeking ways to manage the growth of this data in cost-effective and energy-efficient ways.

As worldwide data rolls toward multiple zettabytes of information annually and as complexities in information sharing mount, business leaders have set new expectations for IT infrastructures to be more agile than ever, with zero tolerance for downtime or for disruptions in application performance or availability. Big, important data needs a home a center one that's safe, secure, compliant and reliable.

To address the new paradigm of data demands, Iron Mountain today announced the unveiling of expanded data center facilities and services to meet a growing need from our customers. Building on the 10-year-old business based in our facility in Western Pennsylvania, Iron Mountain now offers colocation data center space in our famed Underground , as well as additional data center locations.

Our new offering provides both wholesale data center space and retail colocation services. The Iron Mountain Wholesale Data Center provides dedicated, secure space for all or part of an organization's data center operations and offers a range of services, including engineering and design, development and construction and ongoing facility operations and management. For organizations that do not require a large, dedicated footprint, Iron Mountain's Retail Colocation solution provides a shared environment with scalable floor space and reliable power and cooling.

Want a better look? Here are a few of the key offerings:

Iron Mountain's premiere underground data center facility, located 200 feet beneath rolling countryside in a former limestone mine. The facility spans 145 acres and provides one of the most physically and environmentally secure colocation infrastructures available.

You can move your operations to a secure, compliant, and highly resilient underground facility that removes the adverse effects of natural disasters and is strategically located away from fault lines and flood zones.

Harness the mine's natural 52-degree temperatures and heat absorbing limestone walls, floor, and ceiling to run an energy-efficient operation.

Hot air dissipated from the data center is cooled with geothermal properties and then redistributed via ceiling ducts.

An innovative suite of data center services are available at all Iron Mountain data center locations to provide installation and on-going technical support services.

You must expect and demand more from your data center colocation partner. Your data deserves it. The idea of a data center colocation provider simply supplying ample power or a secure building doesn't fit today's realities. What's expected now is not only a partner that supplies the power and facilities, but one that delivers the full range of services required to build a successful, highly scalable data center environment that satisfies today's requirements for agility, availability and cost efficiency.

So, as you are thinking about whether to build a new data center, or expand or consolidate current ones, what does this changing paradigm mean for your data center colocation choice and how should it shape your decision-making?
