While not on the same scale, I worked in London for many years as an instrument engineer and had access to some restricted areas. I had to service, maintain humidity and temperature equipment in this vault under an unassuming building in central London. Once passed many many security points, you finally end up in a several rooms of racks and shelves with paintings, books, sculpture etc. It was all bought by a company as investments for workers pension funds. It was mad, I had the chance to have a look around and picked up a book handwritten by Charles Darwin, and Picasso paintings and more.

Fun fact. Bahnhof's datacenter shown in the video (Pionen, located in "south" Stockholm) isn't the only datacenter to use an old bunker. Just a bit to the south, in a place called Tullinge, there is a second, much deeper and larger bunker, that a company called Tieto operates. (Then there is a few other bunkers used for datacenters in Sweden with a less "I am over here!" approach to marketing.)

[@jordanjacobson6046]

Yeah, Its not high security in the way the rest of the facilities in the video are. Even just some regular run of the mill military base is going to be considered more secure. Svalbard is just remote. It doesnt have multiple branches of a global military, or even just soldiers and cops guarding it 24/7.
