Strong demand for tech-bunkers

Tech companies are searching for secure installations to base their data centres - and a Swiss nuclear bunker seems to be the most popular.

But there aren’t enough of them.

RTS report that a company that rents out bunker space is getting 100 requests a week, but all available space is taken and it’s unlikely the army will release more to be used, due to the current security situation.

But that’s what’s triggered the sudden interest, after data centers in the gulf were targeted by Iran.
