Inside nuclear shelters, mines and mountains are resistant as data centers
Data centers are managing many of the services that we interact with every day. Transportation, logistics, energy, finance, national security, health systems and other rescue services all rely on the seconds that are stored and accessed through data centers. Daily activities such as debt and credit card payment, email, ticket booking, texting, social media use, search engines and artificial intelligence chats, TV broadcasting, video calling and digital photos are all rely on data centers.
These buildings now connect a wide range of activities and water and electricity throughout the government, trade and society, which can have fundamental consequences. The British government has officially classified data centers as part of the country’s most important national infrastructure-a movement that easily enables the government to justify many of these energy-efficient facilities.
While I sit on the Cybercrete Waiting Reality about the concrete reality of the cloud, the company’s digital chief executive, Rob Arnold, comes out of a corridor. It was Arnold that arranged for my visit, and we go to his office – through the security door with a biometric fingerprint lock – where he talks to me through the logic of the secret data center.
“The problem of most underground data centers is that they are often made quickly and are not built to resist physical threats such as severe winds, car bombs, or server stealing from breaking and entry.” “Most people tend to think about cyber -security – knobs, viruses and cyber attacks – which is dangerously ignorant of the physical side,” Arnold says.
Among the increased geopolitical stress, internet infrastructure is now increasingly common as a high -value target as “hybrid” or “physical cyber” (when cyber attacks are combined with physical attacks).
The importance of internet physical security has been highlighted by war in Ukraine, where drone attacks and other attacks on digital infrastructure have led to the internet shutdown. While the exact details of the number of data centers destroyed in the clash are very low, it has been observed that Russian attacks on local data centers in Ukraine have led many organizations to transfer their data to cloud centers outside the area.
The shelters resort to what Arnold calls “security customers”. “Finding a structure is more secure than a shelter” – before adding to: “The customer may not survive from the apocalypse, but their data will be.”
CyberFort is a specialist in the service of the setting industry. Its customer database includes companies working in defense infrastructure, health care, finance and important infrastructure. Arnold refunds well in a sales procedure: “Our main presentation focuses on providing cloud and cloud -based services and data -driven data.” “We do more than host systems for our customers. We protect their credibility.”
Arnold’s land is disrupted by hitting the door. The security chief (which I call Richard Thomas here) arrives-a former 6-foot marineman with black trousers, black battle boots and polo shirts with black branded brand. Thomas is going to show me around this center today.
