    As someone who has actually had to service gear inside an equinox data center I’ll tell you this: mostly unstaffed yes but more secure than a bank. I had I think six layers of security to get through including badge readers, man traps, palm scanners and combination locks.

      The new ones for AI etc. are nowhere near a bank level security.

      Pretty easy to knock a hole in a concrete slab wall and have full access to the goods if somebody wanted too.

        Looking at them I’m not even sure you’d need to break concrete, I’m pretty certain they’re thin wall steel construction. A circular saw would make a nice doorway.

        The amount of dust that would get poured into the room would almost certainly set off the fire suppression system, sucking the oxygen out of the room within 30 seconds of activation and suffocating anyone left inside.
