The quick read

The model reads Iron Mountain Incorporated primarily as a services in Infrastructure. Its most binding exposure is Grid capacity (system bottleneck #6), which it consumes rather than makes — a price-taking dependency. Its largest modeled sensitivity is a shock at Transformer availability (constraint β 41).

Iron Mountain began as a records-storage and information-management REIT — physical and digital document custody — and has grown a fast-expanding data-center arm leased to hyperscale and colocation customers running AI workloads. That segment places it in the infrastructure layer of the chain: the buildings, power, and cooling that house the accelerators. The model tags it as a producer of data-center construction, converting land and real-estate expertise into computing capacity.

Its hook is that AI demand has turned data-center space, and the power to run it, into a genuinely scarce asset — and Iron Mountain brings real-estate scale, existing customer relationships, and long leases to that shortage. The exposure is real but indirect: it is a landlord to the compute build-out, not a maker of the chips inside. The model places it at the infrastructure periphery, its centrality tied to how much capacity it can bring online.
