Avogadro Corp: The Singularity Is Closer Than It Appears - Plot & Excerpts
Helena looked up at her shift partner, Jan. They sat in the monitoring room of Europe’s most secure data center. Located in a converted underground bunker in Stockholm, the massive computer facility was fit for a scene from a James Bond movie. At just over 4,000 square feet, the concrete and stone tomb contained tens of thousands of servers and hard drives. Designed to be secure against a nuclear bomb, and using retired submarine engines for backup power, it even contained an independent air supply, kitchen, food stocks and office space for the administrators on duty. Armored steel doors protected against mere human incursions. It was staffed twenty-four hours a day, three hundred and sixty-five days a year by specially vetted system administrators so that any issue could be addressed ASAP for the clients who paid for the privilege of hosting their data and web applications in the elite data center. The sysadmins worked in a glass-enclosed room with a separate air filtration system that overlooked the entire datacenter.
