I reposted your account of this story to my forum on Silicon Investor and added an exordium in brackets [FAC .. ] in which I briefly discussed underground (and hardened) telco central offices of yore, which you and others here might find interesting: <a href="http://tinyurl.com/39w5qz" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/39w5qz</a> To the point of hardened underground data centers, however, I've not seen much, if any, verbiage on the topic either here or in other trade press, although I did take special note of your story of yesterday concerning a rooftop implementation, which I thought was rather intriguing and a possible fit for localities that are relatively free of the problems cited in the Greensburg story and could also, possibly, lead to other innovative possibilities, as well. But what about underground data centers? Do you or any of your readers have any thoughts on the subject? Cheers!
