Iron Mountain announced that they have entered into an agreement to acquire a data center in Frankfurt from Calcium DC. The data center is a two-story, 20,000 square meter colocation data center site on freehold land in the Am Martinszehnten Industrial Park, which is in close proximity to the city center and Frankfurt Airport.

Frankfurt is a strong global data center market due to its position as one of Europe's major commercial and financial hubs.

In addition to the agreement to acquire the Frankfurt data center, Iron Mountain recently announced further expansion in Europe with a 27 megawatt data center build in London, in addition to 9 megawatts of leasable capacity at its LON-1 data center.

The Company also announced a recent joint venture with Web Werks, one of the top data center providers in India, adding three Tier 3, carrier-neutral data centers in Mumbai, Pune and Delhi to their global footprint.

"We are thrilled to be adding an additional data center in Frankfurt to our global platform as it will meet the high demand we are seeing from our enterprise, edge and hyperscale customers in the Frankfurt market," said Eric Boonstra, Vice President and General Manager, Europe at Iron Mountain Data Centers.

Including the new Frankfurt data center and the recently closed Web Werks joint venture, Iron Mountain's data center platform can support nearly 460 megawatts of IT capacity at full build-out, including leasable capacity, land, and buildings held for future development.
