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. 4/25/2014 Ahmed- Public Cloud Location in Africa32

33  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 Ahmed- Public Cloud Location in Africa33
