Iron Mountain – The Most Secure Civilian Facility IN Earth

by John P.

Iron Mountain Storage FacilityYou know how people are always talking about Ft. Knox being really secure? Well, here is the civilian equivalent!

Iron Mountain Inc is a company specializing in data storage. The best known Iron Mountain storage facility is a high-security cave in a former limestone mine at Boyers, Pennsylvania near the city of Butler in the USA.

It has been in operation since 1950, and it is here that Bill Gates stores his Corbis photographic collection in a refrigerated cave 220 feet underground.

Iron Mountain is also the company that inadvertently shredded 20 boxes of legal documents in an active case my firm was involved in, and our only recompense was $5 per box. Think again about using them.
