- Redundancy
A highly redundant data centre should have two sources of utilities for electricity, water and network. Electrical sources is supplied from two separate substations and water supplies from two different main lines. Be it electrical lines, water or data pipes, the inlet paths should be located in different parts of the building.

It is the physical premises, the security hardware, the software, or the operating procedures that make a data centre secure.

The design of data center s infrastructure will tell you about the network quality of speed and reliability. It is a good option to choose telecom company-managed colocation service as you will never worry about bandwidth and storage capacity they can provide. You should also consider these: Does the data center deploy sufficient fiber capacity for better connectivity? Is the facility a neutral carrier that enables interconnection of multiple carrier and providers? If yes, it is surely an advantage.
- Flexibility and Scalability
An enterprise requires a flexible data center to cater for its business growth. Your demand for storage, for example, will increase along with your business growth. Therefore, you should find a data center that allows you to scale up when the business needs arise.
- Emergency Backup
A data center should be resilient against unpredictable calamity or accident. Aside from backup systems for power & cooling, the facility should also be equipped with fire monitoring and suppression systems ensuring continuous operations in case of emergency.
