Rapid deployment and the ability to expand capacity make cabinets an effective starting point for organisations that need secure infrastructure without committing to a larger dedicated environment.

Fractional colocation

Start with the infrastructure you need today and scale as your requirements grow.

Our Grow-As-You-Go fractional colocation model gives enterprises, MSMEs and growing businesses access to secure, compliant, carrier- and cloud-neutral data center infrastructure without committing to a full rack from day one.

Choose from flexible configurations including:

U-based colocation – per rack unit for individual servers and DR requirements
Quarter rack – 10U – for smaller deployments, start-ups and edge requirements
Half rack – 20U – for growing MSMEs and medium-density deployments

Built for the infrastructure demands of tomorrow

Your infrastructure strategy needs to support more than today's capacity.

As AI, data-intensive applications and next-generation digital services increase compute and power-density requirements, businesses need infrastructure that can evolve without repeated data center redesigns or migrations.

Iron Mountain's India facilities support a range of infrastructure requirements, from traditional enterprise deployments to hyperscale and higher-density environments. For example, Bengaluru supports hyperscale, enterprise, and network deployments and provides flexible colocation configurations alongside redundant power and cooling infrastructure.

Whether you are scaling conventional enterprise IT, expanding digital platforms or preparing for more compute-intensive workloads, our colocation portfolio gives you room to evolve.

Why choose Iron Mountain Data Centers?

Industry-leading compliance and certifications

Connect without compromise with extensive network connectivity

Your data center is only as valuable as what it can connect you to.

Iron Mountain provides carrier-neutral infrastructure, giving you greater choice over how you connect applications, networks, clouds and customers. Our ecosystem brings together carriers, ISPs, internet exchanges, cloud providers and other partners to help you build the connectivity architecture that fits your business.

Connectivity options can include cross connects, IP transit, cloud on-ramps, peering, private network transport and other interconnection services depending on the facility. MUM-1 alone provides access to 200+ ISPs, major cloud providers, and internet exchanges including AMS-IX, DE-CIX and Extreme IX.

Colocation that connects to your cloud strategy

Modern infrastructure does not have to be either cloud or colocation.

For workloads where dedicated hardware, performance, or greater infrastructure control are important, colocation provides a secure physical foundation. Cloud can add flexibility for changing capacity, disaster recovery and workloads where consumption-based infrastructure makes greater commercial sense.

With both colocation and VMX Cloud capabilities in India, Iron Mountain Data Centers can help organisations build an infrastructure model around workload requirements rather than forcing every application into a single environment.

Security and resilience built around critical infrastructure

When your infrastructure supports critical applications and data, physical security and operational resilience cannot be an afterthought.

Iron Mountain Data Centers combines secure facilities, controlled physical access and established operational standards with infrastructure designed to minimise single points of failure.

Our existing India colocation architecture includes resilient power and cooling configurations alongside physical and digital security controls and expert operational support. Individual facility designs vary; Bengaluru, for example, features N+N UPS systems and electrical distribution, N+1 generators and multiple layers of physical security.

Iron Mountain's broader compliance approach provides customers with established global standards alongside region- and facility-specific certifications as required.

Colocation built for a more sustainable digital future

Growing digital infrastructure shouldn't mean losing sight of your sustainability objectives.

Iron Mountain Data Centers combines efficient data centre operations with its broader renewable-energy and sustainability strategy to help organisations address the environmental impact associated with running critical IT infrastructure.

By colocating instead of building and operating fragmented on-premises environments, organisations can also access purpose-built infrastructure engineered around efficient power, cooling and capacity utilisation.
