Why underground?

Unmatched security & protection
  • Highly Secure Location – Being 220 feet below ground provides a natural layer of security that reduces exposure to external threats, including physical attacks, espionage, and unauthorized access.
  • Limited Entry Points – Access to the facility is tightly controlled with armed checkpoints, biometric authentication, and mantraps, making unauthorized entry extremely difficult.
  • Perimeter Defense & Surveillance – Equipped with CCTV monitoring, metal detectors, and 24/7 security personnel, ensuring constant surveillance and controlled access.
Disaster resilience
  • Protection from Natural Disasters – Unlike traditional above-ground facilities, this underground site is naturally shielded from hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, floods, and earthquakes.
  • Fire & Flood Resistance – The limestone environment is naturally non-flammable and does not require traditional fire suppression systems that could damage sensitive media or data assets.
  • Temperature & Humidity Stability – The underground setting naturally maintains a stable climate, reducing risks associated with extreme temperature fluctuations and humidity damage.
Digital transformation and digitization capabilities
  • Intelligent Document Processing – The Boyers facility offers advanced digitization services to help organizations transition from physical to digital records, ensuring greater accessibility and efficiency.
  • Secure Digital Storage & Retrieval – Digitized records can be securely stored and retrieved while maintaining compliance with regulatory requirements.
  • Supports Long-Term Digital Preservation – Enhances records management strategies by safeguarding valuable historical, government, and corporate documents in digital formats.
Energy efficiency & sustainability
  • Geothermal Cooling Advantage – The facility benefits from naturally cool underground temperatures, reducing the need for energy-intensive cooling solutions.
  • Optimal Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE): Due to its stable underground climate and underground aquifer, this natural cooling contributes to higher energy efficiency and low optimal PUE.
  • Matched by 100% Renewable Power – The facility is 100% matched by renewable energy sources, aligning with modern sustainability goals.
Long-term data & asset preservation
  • Ideal for Media & Archive Storage – The underground setting reduces exposure to environmental pollutants, UV light, and oxidation, preserving delicate materials such as historical records, digital media, film archives, and government documents.
  • Secure Data Center Operations – Mission-critical data storage and backup services benefit from a low-risk, high-resilience environment, ensuring business continuity in case of cyberattacks.
Compliance & regulatory alignment
  • Government-Grade Security & Compliance – The facility is trusted by federal agencies, financial institutions, and healthcare providers, meeting stringent standards such as FedRAMP, NIST 800-53, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and ISO 27001.
  • FISMA HIGH & FedRAMP-Certified – These certifications demonstrate adherence to the highest levels of data security and operational integrity, making it an attractive choice for government and enterprise customers.
