Introduction to Data Centers
Data centers are facilities that house computer systems and other
hardware. They provide the infrastructure and environment needed to
support operations that require high availability. Data centers contain
servers, storage systems, networking equipment, and power and cooling
infrastructure. They play a critical role in the functioning of modern
businesses and organizations.
