Explanation: Factors to consider when building a data center include location, electrical requirements, environmental, security, and network design. When considering the location, the planning team should consider areas with reduced risk of natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, and fire. Data centers are also usually located away from high traffic areas including airports and malls, and areas of strategic importance to governments and utilities such as refineries, dams, and nuclear reactors. Data centers are located in cities where corporations would take advantages of their services.
