Earthquake Resistance of Data Centers

Seismic resilience is critical for data centers, especially in earthquake-prone areas. Here's what you need to know: Why It Matters: Earthquakes can cause downtime, data loss, and service disruptions. 2 on the Richter scale hit East Asia, causing billions of dollars of damage and resulting in hundreds of people losing their lives. The Uptime Institute's 2024 global data center survey revealed that 53% of data center owners and operators. Did you know that a single hour of data centre downtime can cost over $100,000? In a world where data is as vital as electricity, ensuring the resilience of data centres against natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, and storms is not just a technical requirement; it's a business necessity. writes Keith Porter of SPA Risk and Molly Latham of the Association of Contingency Planners.
