Incremental inventory in Amsterdam and London supports strong demand in the region
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.
