Customer success stories
Carbonite
The challenge:
Carbonite needed to find a partner that could provide data resilience, security, compliance, certifications and physical locations that were not susceptible to disasters. The company wanted to get out of the business of managing its own data center and focus on helping their existing customer base.The results:
Carbonite was able to leverage Iron Mountain for their deployment and focus on the service they provides to its customers rather than worrying about owning and managing their own internal data center.
In their words:
“The partnership that Carbonite has with Iron Mountain has always been based on trust. They have been focused on our business and that has been very important to us.”
Our energy-efficient data center, WPA-1, is located 220 feet underground in a former limestone mine, providing unparalleled natural protection from disasters. It is EPA Energy Star Certified, and is an ANSI/TIA data center. Our facility features an award-winning geothermal cooling system using a 100-acre underground reservoir, recognized as a DOE Better Buildings Showcase Project for exceptional energy efficiency.
In addition to its underground security, our facility boasts a multi-layered security system, which includes multi-factor authentication, metal detectors, vehicle inspection stations, and 24/7 on-site security personnel. We maintain the industry's most comprehensive compliance program with certifications including NIST 800-53, FedRAMP, SOC 2 Type II, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and multiple ISO standards.
The 220-foot underground location provides natural immunity from tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, flooding, and electromagnetic pulses. This inherent protection makes WPA-1 ideal for disaster recovery planning and business continuity strategies, with many enterprises designating our facility as their primary DR site.
While our WPA-1 facility is conveniently located less than one hour north of Pittsburgh in Boyers, Pennsylvania, the underground location provides significant advantages over traditional Pittsburgh data centers. The 220-foot underground facility offers natural protection from urban risks, natural disasters, and security threats while maintaining easy access to the Pittsburgh metropolitan area and major transportation routes.
The facility provides 330,000 square feet of raised floor colocation space with 15.5 MW of total power capacity. Our 315-acre underground campus provides nearly unlimited scalability potential. We offer N+1 redundant power and cooling systems with A/B power feeds to ensure maximum uptime and reliability for mission-critical workloads.
Beyond data center services, our underground facility houses Iron Mountain's secure records storage and comprehensive information management services, providing customers with integrated physical and digital asset protection solutions under one roof.
