Switzerland Wants To Become the World's Data Vault
wiredmikey writes "Business for Switzerland's 55 data centers is booming. They benefit from the Swiss reputation for security and stability, and some predict the nation already famous for its super-safe banks will soon also be known as the world's data vault. For example, housed in one of Switzerland's numerous deserted Cold War-era army barracks, one high-tech data center is hidden behind four-ton steel doors built to withstand a nuclear attack — plus biometric scanners and an armed guard. Such tight security is in growing demand in a world shaking from repeated leaks scandals and fears of spies lurking behind every byte."
IMHO, I don't care if they store data in the vaults of Mordor...
I'm thinking that the Swiss are more of the Dwarf miner flavor, don't you think? Tunnels, tunnels everywhere, filled with gold.
