silo

As a rule of thumb, to reliably destroy a hardened missile silo or communications bunker, a one megaton warhead should land within a 600 foot radius of its target. This will ensure that the enemy silo lies within the crater gouged out by the nuclear blast.

A silo is created when members in one department or function do not interact with those in another department, even though there might be operational benefits to the interaction.

Our networking is organized in silos, and employees lose time manually transferring data.
