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.
Looking at them I’m not even sure you’d need to break concrete, I’m pretty certain they’re thin wall steel construction. A circular saw would make a nice doorway.
Basically, but man traps are not usually airtight or even have a pressure differential. Usually just a room that can only be opened externally and only one exit can be opened at a time.

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.

What is a man trap?
Apparently this:

Mantrap: “Fool, no man can escape me!”
Eowyn: pulls off her helmet
What I’m reading is “bring a bottle jack” and just pry the thing in half.
So an airlock?
