Table 7. The results of Ping IP addresses in the chosen countries. To understand more which submarine cables the packets are taking from London to Ghana we reviewed submarine cables map and found out that there are two submarine cables that are landing in Ghana from London GLO-1 and WACS. GLO-1 lands in most of West Africa countries including South Africa. 8. The results of Ping IP addresses in the chosen countries Form the table above, we can see last hop handles the packets to Ghana is We found out that this hope owned by TATA communication which partially owns and operates WACS (West Africa Cable System) [30]. WACS submarine cable lands at 14 countries with design capacity of 5.2 Tbps, but currently runs 500 Gbps which kind of not enough to satisfying the needs of 14 countries. Assumption: Ghana has showed huge latency and average packet loss many times. From the previously mentioned results the project assumed that this latency is a result of huge traffic that WACS face. On the other hand, Nigeria & Senegal: These two counties have a good average of round trip rates from different destinations comparing to other countries. The best respond for Nigeria was with packets recorded from Brazil with less number of hops observed. The unique about Nigeria is receiving packets from different zones through different paths not like what happening with Ghana. Most of the time, Ghana receives packets from same hops that might cause the delay. Estimating the Coast of Space, Cooling and Powering Data center With the uptake of such technology, the need for efficient and cheap data centers is inherent. It is therefore of great importance to conduct a cost analysis before setting up a data center for cloud
