Iron Mountain begun construction of the firm’s 83-acre data center campus in Manassas, Virginia. Kessinger/Hunter & Company has been selected as the development partner for the first 150,000 square-foot data center, which will be built to Uptime Tier III construction standards for critical infrastructure design and availability. The new facility will have 60 megawatts of capacity spread across at least four individual colocation facilities. The first building, expected to open in summer 2017, will offer 10.5 megawatts of critical power and a flexible design suitable for cloud services providers, Federal government agencies, systems integrator, financial services firms and health care companies.
“We are excited to have construction underway in Northern Virginia on what we believe will be one of the market’s most compelling data center offerings,” said Mark Kidd, senior vice president and general manager of Iron Mountain Data Centers. “Kessinger/Hunter is a long-standing partner of ours, and understands the premium we place on security and reliability in our data centers.”
