Iron Mountain Data Center Modules- Inside a Data Center

Iron Mountain Data Center Modules allow you to scale fast with a standardized, integrated and repeatable data center infrastructure that streamlines deployment, management and maintenance. Modules set the new standard for containment and physical security designed for high-density, high-performance computing and rapid deployment.

Why choose a module?

Efficiency

Our modules use space and energy very efficiently, offering as much as 20 kilowatts per cabinet. We can determine PUE at commissioning based on the standardized container size and our green energy technology.

Security

Add multiple layers of security to your data. In addition to our highly secure, underground facilities, Iron Mountain Data Center modules are completely enclosed — creating an extra layer of security and privacy.

Scalability

A scalable modular platform allows you to match demand and scale infrastructure quickly. With the ability to easily replace modules if updated technology is needed, a cloud data center solution can take a few months — not years.
