New Datacenter In Underground Lair

lobo235 writes to tell us that a new underground data center designed by Sweden's largest ISP is fit for a classic supervillain, complete with greenhouses, waterfalls, German submarine engines, simulated daylight and can withstand a hit from a hydrogen bomb. "'Rather than just concentrating on technical hardware we decided to put humans in focus,' he said. 'Of course, the security, power, cooling, network, etc, are all top notch, but the people designing data centers often (always!) forget about the humans that are supposed to work with the stuff.'"

These will be the sort of projects that will provide the engineering knowhow to build actual lunar colonies.

The Art Deco version, from the 1940s.

Take a look at these pictures of the Aspidistra transmitter in Britain. Art deco design, curved chrome, indirect lighting, and parquet floors, all in an underground bunker. This was the 500KW transmitter used to break in on German radio stations and create the illusion of a local station within Germany.

The transmitter was purchased from RCA, and the Radio City design made it all the way to Sussex.
