Episode 11 - White Mountain, Fit For A James Bond Villain!

This is the first edition of Data Center Pulse, On The Road. In this episode, Jon Karlung, CEO of Bahnhof, a local teclo gives Dean Nelson a tour of his Pionen, White Mountain datacenter in downtown Stockholm, Sweden. It is located in a bunker 30 meters under solid bedrock. It was a cold war bunker that was converted into this datacenter and is said to be able to withstand a Hydrogen bomb blast. It is very unique and reminds me of a James Bond movie! And that is what Jon was going for.

@puffmyblunt I cannot comment what Swedes did back then, I'm not a Swede, but todays Sweden can be a bit different, don't you think it's possible? haha will you really send a B-2 bomber with a GPS-guided bomb to downtown Stockholm? what about the endless wikileaks mirrors? ^^ Truth to be said, B-2 is da shit! it looks scary and must cost more than all the iron ore Sweden gave to Hitler hahaha

[puffmyblunt]

@19AK91 Suuuuuure the same swedish military that kissed hitlers ass by giving him iron ore to fortify his military so he wouldnt invade them? lol@swedish military....not to mention the fact that no one on earth can stop a GPS guided bomb dropped from a B-2 bomber :/
