Iron Mountain Begins Construction On Phoenix Data Center Campus Expansion
In one of the fastest growing data center markets, expansion designed to serve growing demand from large public cloud providers and enterprise customers.
Iron Mountain Incorporated® has announced that it has started construction to expand its data center campus in Phoenix, one of the fastest growing markets in the U.S. The new 550,000 sq-ft, 48-megawatt (MW) multi-tenant and cloud facility is designed to meet the security and performance expectations of the largest public cloud providers and maintain the stringent compliance requirements of global enterprise and public sector customers. Iron Mountain commemorates the start of construction with a groundbreaking ceremony today with guests U.S. Congressman David Schweikert, Maricopa County Supervisor Steve Gallardo, Phoenix City Council Member Kate Gallego and representatives from the Arizona Commerce Authority, City of Phoenix, Office of Community and Economic Development, and the Greater Phoenix Economic Council.
The new data center will be built on a nine-acre parcel adjacent to Iron Mountain's existing 38 MW data center in Phoenix. The new building will help serve the growing demands from new and existing customers — including public cloud providers, financial services, aerospace and technology companies that will benefit from access to 25-plus carrier and network connectivity providers already deployed on the campus. Like other Iron Mountain data center facilities, this new facility will support key standards such as ISO 27001, FISMA High, PCI-DSS Level 1, HIPAA, SOC 2 Type II and SOC 3.
