The first A data center should be on a stable geography. Select (or construct) a data center in a flood zone or on a tectonic fault, which is not so distant earthquakes regularly produces a great idea. Much of New Orleans, for example, is several feet below sea level, as the public discovered during the Hurricane Katrina disaster. As global warming continues to drive the world's weather "heat engine" will tornadoes become more of a problem, which either the construction of the bunker-like facilities, data centers tend to be safely placed in these areas underground.
Second, in view of today's terrorist threats, pop for such a computer system in the middle of big cities is not a good idea. And then, lost the company its new, continued to run - After an international telecom company called Interoute Telecom blown up by two terrorist attacks (the Irish Republican Army was one of their buildings in London Docklands building a giant Ericsson AXE10 Telecom switches in York box office hit in the 9 / 11 disaster) the company's founder, Simon Taylor and Nick Razey, decided to go into the data center operations. They noted that many New York companies that moved their data centers from New York to New Jersey, Connecticut, and several other relatively distant points. So when they set up the next generation of data and built Europe's largest data centers, the 750,000 square meter of length of Europe (also known as NGD1), it is far from London, in Wales, where the land was cheap and electricity were in abundance.
3rd ensure the establishment of an IT link where there are big tax breaks. U.S. states and municipalities offer all kinds of incentives for data center operations and customized incentive offer partial or full exemption of sales / use taxes on equipment, building materials and perhaps even backup electricity and fuel costs.
4th In a world of soaring demand from users, you want a data center, the large glass tubes, while in the construction of several carriers offer. (A "carrier neutral" co-location facility.)
Fifth, you must be your optical cables to a supported site redundancy in the event of a disaster, and many ways to distribute the traffic.
Sixth Your building will be located near a prominent group of users: China, Singapore, etc. It is not absolutely necessary, but it is good to reduce the number of "hops" to its customers and hence the risk of loss or high latency signaling and further back. Silicon Valley includes some of the world's largest technology companies (Apple, Cisco, Google, HP, Intel, etc.) as well as top universities. It is no wonder that data center construction has increased sharply in the region, with a market-measuring over 5 million square feet of facility space from mid-2011.
7th Do not choose a center or in nearby locations were other businesses produce, store or transport dangerous goods. New Jersey's "chemical coast" is one such example.
8th Try to place, is your data center a cool climate, so that "free cooling" can be used to cool its equipment, but only with air conditioning, or "chillers", as they are called.
9th Do not pick a data center into the path of a major airport. (Once in a blue moon, they fall and go boom.)
10th Keep your shelves and the computer is out of the basement of the building, or anyone else, for that matter. Secondary computing and storage resources (should set the fires, sprinklers off and flooding, and so on) and also not far away, among a population that can cause problems.
