Iron Mountain - For All Your
Document Storage Needs
The warehouse of Iron Mountain holds rows and rows of files containing everything from x-rays to tapes. Whether it is paper, film, or backup tapes of server files they keep it safe and secure. They even went so far as to have a climate controlled truck so that the tapes and documents you need to store remain at the optimal temperature for the whole ride. For getting rid of old files Iron Mountain trucks will arrive, fully automated to pick up bins of paper for shredding.
