Maybe off on a limb BUT could also bring new meaning to TRUST KANSAS - Should some event disable the internet, records (government, business, EVIDENCE???) stored in the underground data center wouldn't be lost - it provides a "safe haven" from the elements.
Perhaps "evidence" not actually stored in Kansas (can't telegraph a move) but alluding to reassurance that it's safe.
"Below some 150 feet of rock on the suburban edges of Kansas City, nearly endless zeroes and ones exist in a virtual state that might represent the health of your retirement account and the history of your health... That those records — along with files kept by the federal government and a wide array of businesses — landed in a data center beneath a Midwestern hillside is essentially a recycling story.
No one, not even folks who run underground facilities, say it makes business sense to dig into the earth simply to plant a server farm. The cost would be outrageous... But if somebody long before had carved into bedrock for you, left behind a hardened bunker that stretches below one acre after the next, well, those old limestone mines prove handy...
Information technology bosses often don’t start out looking for below-ground space. But those IT managers can be like a car shopper who stumbles across a model with all of the latest crash avoidance features. Once they’ve seen it, anything less doesn’t feel quite safe enough."
