Photos: Data centre built deep inside Swiss mountain

Former command and control centre for the Swiss Air Force can house your servers.

The Deltalis Radixcloud data centre consists of several multi-storey buildings built into the granite rock. The operator boasts an offering described as "military-grade secured colocation space". (Courtesy: Minkels)

Once through the foreboding thick concrete slab doors, techs face several more security hurdles before they can get access to the main colocation areas. (Courtesy: Minkels)

The facility itself uses modular data centre technology such as racks and cold aisle containment systems from supplier Minkels. It also makes use of the mountain’s natural resources, such as glacier water for the cooling systems. (Courtesy: Minkels)

The rock chambers of the Deltalis RadixCloud data centre provide a huge space, with vaulted ceilings in separated rooms and pillars around which colocation facilities had to be created. (Courtesy: Minkels)
