A data center is a specialized facility or a complex of buildings where servers, networking equipment, and data storage systems are located. This is where websites, online services, cloud platforms, and internal corporate systems operate. To ensure uninterrupted operation, data centers are equipped with backup power supplies, cooling systems, fire suppression, and physical security. At first glance, all data centers may seem similar, but in terms of purpose and usage model they differ significantly. Most often, the distinction is made between commercial and corporate data centers, which perform different tasks and are built according to different principles.
