This document provides information on the 2016 Data Centre Risk Index, which ranks 37 countries based on 10 risk factors relevant to data center operations. The top risks identified through a survey were natural disaster risk, political stability, and energy security. The index found that Nordic and other Western European countries posed the lowest risks overall, while Singapore, South Korea, and Hong Kong also ranked highly due to business and infrastructure advantages. Sustainability and renewable energy are becoming increasingly important considerations for data center location strategies. The index is a tool to help companies evaluate country-level risks and make strategic real estate decisions.
