The global trend of retrofitting former military bunkers, mines, and mountains into data centers is gaining traction. These ultra-secure facilities, like the Cyberfort Group’s data center in a former RAF radar network bunker in the UK, offer enhanced security for digital data. Such transformations are part of a broader initiative to protect critical digital infrastructure by leveraging the natural protection offered by underground and fortified sites. Globally, similar facilities have been established in former bomb shelters in China, derelict Soviet command centers in Kyiv, and abandoned Department of Defense bunkers in the United States. This movement underscores a significant shift in how data storage is perceived and managed, focusing on durability and security in an era where digital data is a highly valued commodity.
