Data centers are being built in response to the growing consumption of internet- based services by businesses and consumers. However, the areas for the development and operation of data centers are identified based on factors such as power, fiber connectivity, and availability of skilled labor. Most modern data centers are built per Tier III and Tier IV standards, thereby enabling high availability of service offerings. The emergence of cloud-based services will lead to the development of data centers in Africa, and these developments will depend heavily on on-site selection. The major site selection criteria for data centers are mentioned in the table below, along with the identified level of importance for each criterion and description of the same.
