Ahmed- Master's Project Report 31
Senegal, Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa are the ideal locations to host data center for cloud provider.
Nigeria has the most suitable features to host one. Africa has a good opportunity to host datacenter for
a cloud provide. Costs of datacenter may be vary from city to other
one.
4/25/2014
Conclusion
Ahmed- Master's Project Report 32
Relevant criteria to select the best location of data center for a cloud provider should be identified.
The data gathered from latency, round trip time and bandwidth should be gained from relevant data center of a cloud provider in real world.
review Ping and trace utility data multiple time in different times.
