Former NATO Nuclear Bunker Now an 'Airless' Unmanned Data Center

An anonymous reader writes A German company has converted a 1960s nuclear bunker 100 miles from network hub Frankfurt into a state-of-the-art underground data center with very few operators and very little oxygen. IT Vision Technology (ITVT) CEO Jochen Klipfel says: 'We developed a solution that reduces the oxygen content in the air, so that even matches go outIt took us two years'. ITVT have the European Air Force among its customers, so security is an even higher priority than in the average DC build; the refurbished bunker has walls 11 feet thick and the central complex is buried twenty feet under the earth.

I had to look up this European Air Force. Turns out they've existed longer than I thought! From http://www.europeanaf.net/:

The European Air Force has now reached its teens!
