key role in the digital infrastructure and also allows energy efficiency.
Data Center contains all IT network related components such as router, switches etc. In the
Business Management department it contains server to solve complex applications to get the
solutions. Data Center also helps in Cable Management, Physical Security Systems etc.
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
processing power. Due to the use of multiple server data centers are also referred to a server
farm.
Three examples that can be taken are Cooling and Ventilation Systems, Cable Management
