The Challenge of Security By Obscurity

The Arizona Republic has a curious story today, in which it writes about an area disaster recovery facility in Gilbert, Ariz. operated by First Technology Capital Inc. Sort of, anyway:

The article illustrates the difficulty faced by data center providers who seek to juggle corporate publicity and client secrecy. Gilbert's not tiny, but it's still pretty hard to hide a 184,000 square foot data center facility. And it's highly unusual to see a newspaper write about a local business and not disclose its location. I suppose they disclose the location to disaster recovery prospects. Not to worry - you can order a virtual tour on CD from the company's web site.
