I would think it wise to geographically spread-out data centers.

There are well over a hundred data centers now in Northern Virginia, all concentrated on three adjacent roads in a two mile box.

Five new (and more being added) power substations are needed to power them.

One Chinese EMP device or a power grid cyber attack will take them all out, along with most of America’s banking, online commerce, hospital and medical records, government data files, water supplies, pipelines, and communications assets.

But more are added every week because local county governments want the tsunami of taxes coming their way.
