As someone who has actually had to service gear inside an equinox data center I'll tell you this: mostly unstaffed yes but more secure than a bank. I had I think six layers of security to get through including badge readers, man traps, palm scanners and combination locks.

    The new ones for AI etc. are nowhere near a bank level security.

    Pretty easy to knock a hole in a concrete slab wall and have full access to the goods if somebody wanted too.

    The amount of dust that would get poured into the room would almost certainly set off the fire suppression system, sucking the oxygen out of the room within 30 seconds of activation and suffocating anyone left inside.

    Can you suck oxygen out of a room with a massive hole in it?

    That's a no.

    Also the fire suppression systems usually dump gases like nitrogen, argon, CO2 etc toreduce the O2 percentage in a room. They also don't work as well with a venting hole. A mask with a small O2 container like they use for climbing is recommended.
