What factors should be considered when selecting a location for a data center with high availability requirements in an area prone to seismic activity?

When selecting a location for a data center with high availability requirements in an area prone to seismic activity, several critical factors must be considered to minimize the risk of damage and downtime. Seismic hazard assessment is paramount. A detailed geological survey should be conducted to assess the level of seismic activity in the area, including the probability of earthquakes of different magnitudes. The location should be as far as possible from active fault lines, areas prone to liquefa....
