so i've been reading up on high availablity architectures and strategies for a presetnation i will be giving in august and thought that it would be cool to desgin and research what it would take to create a completely sustainable data center...
from the data side of the equation...you'd have to have fast and secure access to the site from a remote location...you'd want to know your data was not only safe but secure from internal and external prying eyes...
network considerations
- speed of light
- geographic distance to data center
- satellite wifi access
building site considerations
- do you build to suit and completely customized the structure?
- do you search for a pre-existing site that fits most of your requirements?
- do you stay local to the U.S. or do you look for an international site?
- if you do look intl, where do you start?
- what countries are attractive?
- what types of natural disasters are "normal"?
would it be a good idea to attempt to reach out to a third world country such as an african nation to host the data center?? this could potentially be a means to provide training for the local peoples in many areas...such as building design, systems design, solar energy designs, actual hands-on experience with new technologies...
