Frequently asked questions
What makes MAD-2 unique compared to other facilities?
MAD-2 is purpose-built for hyperscale deployments with two 5MW halls engineered for high-density requirements. Scheduled for completion in early 2027, MAD-2 shares a building MAD-2 shares a building with MAD-3, enabling seamless cross-facility connectivity and operational efficiencies within a single infrastructure footprint. This co-location provides pre-construction pricing advantages and design flexibility that existing facilities cannot match. As part of Iron Mountain's 79MW Madrid campus, MAD-2 customers benefit from the operational connectivity ecosystem already established at MAD-1 while gaining access to next-generation infrastructure designed specifically for cloud providers and large enterprise deployments.
What other facilities are available on the Madrid campus?
The Madrid campus spans 60.000 square meters with a total planned capacity of 79MW. MAD-1 (3MW) is currently operational with MAD-2 (10MW) delivering in early 2027, followed by followed by MAD-3 (10MW) in 2027. For colocation in Spain, the campus master plan includes eight total facilities through 2029, providing significant growth runway and cross-campus connectivity options for distributed architectures and disaster recovery configurations.
How many megawatts and square meters is MAD-2?
The 6.900 square meter MAD-2 delivers 10MW of total IT capacity organized into flexible 5MW halls. This configuration supports hyperscale deployments requiring entire halls as well as smaller enterprises needing dedicated cages or colocation cabinets. Our data center in Spain is part of the 60.000 square meter campus and features purpose-built infrastructure with optimized data hall layouts designed for efficiency and scalability.
What security and compliance measures are in place at MAD-2?
MAD-2 will maintain Iron Mountain's comprehensive compliance program with the following certifications and standards on the roadmap: SOC 2 Type II and complete ISO certification suite (27001, 50001, 14001, 9001, 22301, 14064). The facility features 24/7/365 on-site security monitoring, multi-factor authentication for data center access, comprehensive video surveillance, and campus-wide security protocols. As the only global provider to simultaneously comply with ISO 27001, 50001, 14001, and 9001 across all locations, MAD-2 will deliver the same industry-leading security and compliance standards that distinguish Iron Mountain worldwide.
Is MAD-2 suitable for hyperscale deployments?
Yes, MAD-2 is engineered explicitly for hyperscale requirements. The 5MW data hall configurations provide the power density, cooling capacity, and infrastructure flexibility that hyperscale cloud providers demand. The Tier III-compliant design supports high-density deployments with N+1 redundancy, while the 2027 delivery time enables infrastructure planning and pre-construction customization to meet specific deployment requirements.
What is the timeline for MAD-2 completion and move-in?
MAD-2 is scheduled for completion in early 2027, with customer move-ins beginning shortly thereafter. Pre-construction contracting is available now, offering pricing advantages and design input opportunities. The phased campus development approach means power, cooling, and connectivity infrastructure are already secured, reducing delivery risk. Early commitments enable infrastructure customization to meet specific deployment requirements before construction completion.
