1. Introduction
My hobby is to read books which are mostly based on fiction. My favorite writer is Sydney
Steldon who is a well-known English writer. He has been ranked as the seventh best fiction
writer of his time. Apart from that I also like to listen to music and my favorite singer is John
Farnham. Whenever I have free time I also like to play online games based on solving words
puzzles. It helps me to improve my knowledge on different words and upgrade my learning skills
as well.

Information Technology is the important part of my career.
Information Technology (IT) will prepare me to understand how to use computers and

Data Centers keep their computers and associated components in a centralized locations that
are related to networking and computing which are concentrated for processing, storing,
collecting, or accessing large amount of data by using multiple servers which increases the
