Swiss now famous for ultra secure server farm in underground ex-nuclear bunker

The Swiss are known for the Alps and of course those off-shore, sometimes secret but super secure bank accounts. Now they’re going to be famous for another secure entity… servers. Somewhere in those beautiful Swiss Alps is an old Nuclear Bunker that’s been converted into an ultra secure server farm that’s apparently been designed to survive even a ‘full-scale Military attack’. So just in case of some cataclysmic fall-out type event, at least all our precious data is safe. The set up is designed so that in the case of a Nuke going off, the high pressure air created will rush into the room and cause air vents at either end to shut tight sealing the room. Cooling tubes from the underground glacial lake will ensure that the room temperature stays… cool and the data is preserved. Now let’s just hope that that never ever becomes necessary.
