A *really* secure data center

The May 21 issue of Boing Boing describes the InfoBunker, a “Cold War era government command bunker converted into a data center”. I realize that they’re not referring to the same kind of data center we mean, but it was kind of fun to read about a data center that has “a self-sufficient power systems (six days’ worth of diesel fuel; 17,000 gallons of water (for drinking and fire suppression); military-grade NBC air filtration). It’s built to withstand a 20-megaton nuclear blast at 2.5 miles, according to the website, and I can believe it. Your data will be intact even if the rest of the Internet has been vaporized.”
