Hello, guys! Today we are talking about Data Centers. You ready :)?

Data centers are centralized locations where equipment is concentrated for the purpose of collecting, processing, and analyzing massive amounts of data.

A data center is a location where computing facilities like servers, routers, switches and firewalls, backup equipment, fire suppression facilities and air conditioning are stored. A data center may get a dedicated building or a simple area or room that houses only a few servers.

A data center may be private or shared. When data centers are shared, virtual data center access often makes more sense than granting total physical access to various organizations and personnel. These centers can store and serve up Web sites, run e-mail and instant messaging (IM) services, provide cloud storage and applications, enable e-commerce transactions or power online gaming communities.

To put it simply, data centers are like computer farms!

There you have it. Top technologies explained as simply as possible! For more awesomeness, don’t forget to also check our previous pills: Internet Governance, Internet Protocol, IP Utility, IPv4 Address Exhaustion, IPv6 Address, Internet of Things, Big Data, and Data Mining.
