Iron Mountain broke ground on the first phase of a 550,000 square-foot, 48-megawatt Phoenix data center Monday morning on the northeast corner of 48th and Van Buren Streets.
The new facility is an expansion of Iron Mountain’s Phoenix Data Center Campus, and represents the beginnings of a $430 million investment into the campus over the next five years. These campus editions are on a nine-acre plot of land adjacent to Iron Mountain’s 38-megawatt Phoenix data center.
Iron Mountain, a Boston-based storage and information management services company that was founded in 1951, acquired homegrown IO Data Centers in January for $1.3 billion. IO Data Centers purchased the plot of land where this facility is being built three years ago and was set to break ground on the facility shortly before Iron Mountain’s acquisition of the company.
