The Underground Data Center HQ of My Super-Villain Dreams

Originally a nuclear bunker, this underground data center for one of Sweden’s largest ISPs has greenhouses, waterfalls, German submarine engines, simulated daylight (and can withstand a hit from a hydrogen bomb.)

And for the life of me, I’d swear it was the headquarters from Danger Diabolik.


HQ features include :

  • German submarine engines for backup power: Backup power is handled by two Maybach MTU diesel engines producing 1.5 Megawatt of power.
  • Just for fun the people at Pionen have also installed the warning system (sound horns) from the original German submarine.
  • Triple redundancy Internet backbone access: The network has full redundancy with both fiber optics and extra copper lines with three different physical ways into the mountain.
  • Work environment with simulated daylight and greenhouses: For a pleasant working environment the data center has simulated daylight, greenhouses, waterfalls and a huge 2600-liter salt water fish tank.  ( Presumably filled with sharks.  Sharks with laser beams. )
