Sun Microsystems is building a data centre in an abandoned Japanese coal mine using 30 of their data-centre-in-a-shipping-container boxes. Of course, the ostensible reason is that it’s always 15 degrees down there, so they expect to save 50 per cent of the electricity requirement, and further it’s as secure as you like.
But seriously, this has to be the secret base for a sci-fi villain, no? No mention of a white cat, but you bet there’s one in there.
