Less than an hour north of Pittsburgh, the West Pennsylvania WPA-1 data center by Iron Mountain resides 220 feet underground within a former limestone mine. This 130,000 square foot facility, situated on a 200-acre campus, boasts a power capacity of 15.5 MW. The strategic underground location not only ensures unparalleled security but also shields it from both manmade and natural disasters.
Renowned for its ultra-efficient design and operations, this data center has earned recognition as a DOE Better Buildings Showcase Project. Leveraging innovation, it utilizes a 35-acre underground reservoir to implement a geothermal cooling system, contributing significantly to energy efficiency. Moreover, Iron Mountain’s WPA-1 data center adheres to a comprehensive array of compliance standards, including EPA Energy Star, TIA-942, NIST 800-53, FISMA HIGH, FedRAMP, SOC 2 Type II, SOC 3, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, HITRUST, ISO 9001, ISO 27001, and ISO 50001.
