Hyperscale Data Centers

Hyperscale data centers are in a league of their own. They need to be able to support thousands of servers and millions of virtual machines. Data center design must be optimized for storage and speed, with a flexible and agile environment and massive scalability. Connectivity counts for a lot, and so does speed to market. Hyperscale cloud builds have very precise and exacting specifications.

Solution Guide

What is an edge data center?

Proximity to the end-user, speed and compute power are critical to your ability to gather IoT data and deliver cloud computing resources and cached content to end-users. Strategically-located edge data centers deliver low-latency reach where you need it most, with flexible connectivity options such as SDN and peering providing instant reach across complete markets.

Underground Data Centers

Situated 200+ ft. below the earth’s surface, our underground data centers are some of the most secure facilities in the world. Iron Mountain underground data centers also offer natural energy efficiency.

Book a Tour

Why Go Underground? Surrounded by natural limestone, our underground data centers reduce the risk of natural and man-made disaster, offer nearly unlimited floor-load weight capacity and ensure additional physical security.

Energy Efficient: Natural energy efficiency in our underground data centers contributes to low PUE. Year-round ambient temperatures stay as low as 52°F (11°C) meaning the data center doesn’t need to work as hard to keep your infrastructure cool. Our underground lake provides naturally cooled water at WPA-1.

Backup and Disaster Recovery: Increased security, carrier-neutral access to dark fiber & national providers, and comprehensive compliant support for FISMA High, HIPAA, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 Type II make Iron Mountain underground data centers ideal for backup and disaster recovery data center needs.

Locations: Underground data centers are available at Iron Mountain's Kansas City and Western Pennsylvania data center locations.

Our Colocation Data center offerings

Wholesale Data Centers

Choose from hyperscale-ready build-to-suit, dedicated data halls, or MODs for dedicated wholesale requirements. These dedicated spaces are devoted to your deployment.

Build-to-Suit Data Centers

With our build-to-suit data centers, you can design and customize a data center solution to meet your specific needs, without the expense of building your own data center. Minimum requirements must be met.

Modular Data Centers (MODs)

Our modular data centers are efficient, high density, rapidly scalable and provide an additional layer of physical security. MODs are available in strategic markets only, providing higher performance and lower latency.

Data Center Suites

Private data center suites offer the privacy of a dedicated data center without the pressure of top-level financial commitments. Private suites are flexible and easily modified to your specs.

Data Center Cages

If you need data center capacity for 6+ cabinets (30+ kilowatts) with more flexibility and privacy than a standard locking cabinet, our rigid metal data center cages may be right for you.

Colocation Cabinets

Available at most Iron Mountain colocation facilities, data center cabinets/data center racks are rapidly deployed, offering scalability, reliability and flexible power options to grow your business.

Server Colocation

For smaller data center requirements, you can still benefit from our colocation facilities. If power and space requirements are met, our server colocation solutions may be right for you. If not, we can refer you to an approved and vetted vendor within our marketplace for your colocation needs.
