As for internet servers, bunkers are pointless, since the connections are the weak point ... can be easily severed using little more than a backhoe / hand tools.
Having lots of server and network redundancy (ie. CDNs) is a far better approach than relying on bunkers.

Same the big data center in chicago, you'd never know it was there, the lobby seems ordinary, that is until you take the elevator up to the data center, then its like NORAD, palm scanners, double security doors etc. They confiscate your cell phones.
