byAlex Valsamos

Data Center

A data center is a physical facility that houses IT infrastructure, including servers, storage systems and networking equipment. It is designed to store, manage and process large amounts of data, ensuring the continuous operation of applications and services. Data centers typically include redundant power supplies, data communication connections, environmental controls (such as air conditioning and fire suppression), and security devices to maintain business continuity.
