Now this would be a cool datacenter to work in...

This Norwegian Data Center Is Built in a Cave and Cooled by Fjords

I love caves, and I've always wanted to go to Norway.

I bet the area around it is beautiful too.

It would suck to have to lug an oxygen tank around just to go work on your servers.

Found a gallery for it... place looks amazing: Green Mountain

I can imagine in the future instead of hearing about miners being trapped in a coal mine, you will see "100 IT admins trapped in a collapsed data center".

You just might have to do that..

Closed caverns enable the use
of inert / hypoxic air ventilation

Reduced oxygen level to prevent fire and smoke
- 02 reduced to 15 -16 %
- Fire cannot arise as the combustion process
does not get enough oxygen
- Corresponds to an altitude of approx. 3,000 m

Hypoxic air ventilation/Inert ventilation system
- Reduces/limits smoke formation
- Prevents combustion/fire
- Ensures continuous operation
- No fire damage
- No secondary extinguishing damage (corrosion,
harm to the environment, poisoning, etc.)
- No problems with hard disks due to the triggering
of fire extinguishing equipment

A company here did something similar except it was in old Army bunkers.. I'll see if I can find any pics

It would be cooler if Heimdall was their head of security.
