The Bunker's directors asked us not to disclose the exact location of the underground facility. But we can say it's in Kent.

Managing a storage system has become a costly and complicated task. The direct labour cost associated with its management is increasing. In addition, organizations incur hidden indirect costs due to slow responsiveness, ineffective utilization, and inflexibility. This paper discusses how the IBM XIV Storage System's revolutionary built-in virtualization architecture provides a way to drastically reduce the costs of managing storage systems.
Getting the balance right between meeting the inbound call expectations of busy customers and optimising telecoms costs is the goal for many ICT managers. Technology now enables far more powerful and flexible contact centre platforms to be created without the capital outlay required for conventional systems.
The ability to leverage location intelligence was critical to the successful rollout of our 3G network as it enabled us to identify potential customers and where they would likely use our enhanced third generation services. As our decision making process was much more informed by location-based data, we could build our network in areas that will serve our customers most effectively.

Fascinating buildings.
About 10 years ago I moved the IT for a firm of Solicitors in Maidstone and the building they bought was an ex-royal observer core admin building with a nuclear bunker in the garden. They were going to use it as a secure store for client's documents.
Amazing place to look around, and I can see that it would be the ideal place for a secure hosting location.

This is all a bit cheesey really, with the cloak and dagger nonsense. Why don't you tell people where this place is? I found out on line in 30 seconds. I see you claim it is a nuclear bunker: not strictly accurate, I thought it was an ex CHAIN or ROTOR site with a 1980's extension.
