Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Locating a data center on the top floor of a building can expose it to higher risks from environmental hazards such as flooding or roof leaks, and potentially more damage from natural disasters like hurricanes or tornadoes. It also complicates cooling efforts, as heat rises, potentially making the data center hotter and more expensive to cool.
