Government data centers

Government agencies choose iron mountain for information continuity, scalability, security and compliance

As innovation and demand for information technology continues to increase, IT departments of all sizes are facing incredible pressure to build a new way of delivering services – one that scales quickly, integrates multiple clouds and data centers and performs to end-user and auditor expectations. Together with our partners, Iron Mountain data centers provide you with energy efficient end-to-end solutions and a rich set of options to meet ever growing needs for high speed, secure and reliable internet service.

Committed to sustainability

Iron Mountain data centers are powered by 100% renewable energy. Green Power Pass allows Iron Mountain customers to take credit for the green energy they consume.

Highly secure and government compliant data centers

For our federal customers, what sets us apart is not only the list of certs/reports (PCI-DSS, ISO27001, SOC 2 (Type II), SOC 3, HIPAA Type I, NIST 800-53), but also the level to which we've taken the program. With our NIST 800-53 report, we employ the control sets at the highest, most enhanced level by NIST, enabling us to align with FISMA HIGH and FedRAMP Physical and Environmental (P&E) controls that many government agencies may struggle to accomplish with competitors that only employ base level controls in a NIST 800-53 assessment. Data Center Services are also available on GSA Schedule 36 Contract # GS-03F-049GA.

Flexible support for your information continuity demands

With interconnected data centers and multiple networking options, Iron Mountain's diverse offering supports your information continuity demands.

In addition to our traditional carriers, Iron Mountain partners with multiple SDN Providers to offer rapidly deployable, cost-effective access to hundreds of paths to cloud on-ramps and to all major cloud providers.

Our suite of network offerings includes direct connection cloud on-ramps, software-defined network (SDN) exchanges, peering exchanges, colocation provider fiber to regional MMR's and private carrier circuits.

Scale rapidly from a single cabinet to a purpose-built data center, and from a single market to global deployment.

Reduce data center tco

With colocation, public-sector organizations can reduce data center total cost of ownership when compared to in-house solutions, increase energy and operational efficiency and reduce system complexity. The operational cost savings helps you maximize your budget to better address requirements such as DCOI, IDEA, the Artificial Intelligence Initiative and EO 13800.
