Data Center
Data centers are facilities that centralize an organization’s shared IT operations and equipment, including computing and networking equipment. Data centers are comprised of routers, switches, security devices, storage systems, servers, application-delivery controllers and more. Therefore, the purpose is to collect, store, process, distribute and provide access to large amounts of data. Data centers store sensitive and proprietary information such as customer data or intellectual property thereby making them a central component to any organization. Additionally, data centers enable the delivery of shared applications and data. Importantly, backups of data can be stored at a data center,.
