Background
Data centers are pivotal to modern computing, acting as crucial infrastructure that support a broad
spectrum of digital activities. These centers are essential for hosting websites, applications, and
handling extensive data storage and processing needs. The importance is underscored by their role
in business continuity, disaster recovery, scalability, security, and compliance. The rising reliance on
Cloud Computing, E-commerce, Big Data Analytics, IoT, and Edge Computing further amplifies the
need for robust data center capabilities. Nepal, with its abundant hydroelectric potential due to its
extensive water resources and rugged terrain, presents a unique opportunity for cost-effective data
center operations. The strategic development of high-altitude data centers can leverage cheaper
electricity costs due to cold climate which reduces the operational expenses. Encouraging both
local and international investment in this sector can transform Nepal into a significant hub for data
centers, fostering national development and prosperity.
