BOSTON, Sept. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Iron Mountain Incorporated^® (NYSE: IRM), the storage and information management company, announced today it has completed development of nearly four megawatts of turn-key data center capacity in Amsterdam and London, adding 1.9 megawatts to both AMS-1 and LON-1, further strengthening Iron Mountain's data center platform in Europe. Including the land acquired in Frankfurt in early 2019, Iron Mountain has a growing presence in three of the top four European data center markets, supporting strong demand from both global and local customers.

Strategically located in the heart of Amsterdam, one of the world's largest network ecosystems, Iron Mountain's AMS-1 data center now has nearly 13 megawatts of capacity, with the ability to expand its campus footprint by more than 20 incremental megawatts.

Located in the Slough Trading Estate, LON-1 is a highly-secure, purpose-built data center, with its existing capacity 100% occupied by one of the largest banking institutions in the world. The expansion in London includes the opening of a fourth data hall in the LON-1 facility, adding 1.9 megawatts of capacity, of which more than 20% was pre-leased, with an additional 3.8 megawatts of capacity held for future development.

"We are excited to deliver on the next phase of our global data center strategy and increase our IT capacity in critical European markets," said Mark Kidd, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Data Centers at Iron Mountain. "The growth of these campuses, coupled with our recently-announced Phoenix data center expansion, solidifies our position as a valued global data center platform provider. Our pre-lease activity in London and Amsterdam also demonstrates that we have the right approach, technical skills and relationships to serve as the trusted guardian of our customers' business assets, whether physical or digital."

"Growing AMS-1 and LON-1 will extend our ability to serve the demanding needs of new and existing customers in top European colocation markets," said Eric Boonstra, Vice President & GM Western Europe, Data Centers at Iron Mountain. "We are building upon our already strong EMEA data center offerings to provide even more flexible, scalable options for customers now and into the future."
