What is a Data Center?

A Data Center delivers storage, management and data dissemination services in an organized manner. These attributes are rendered as services to ensure proper operability by supporting critical infrastructural components. So, a company's intellectual property and valuable equipment are safeguarded in the facility.

What does it contain?

An ideal Data Center comprises of state-of-the-art infrastructure to carry out important functions. A few of them have been enlisted below:

• Smooth processing of business transactions

• Secured storage and processing of intellectual property

• Prompt maintenance of financial records

• Efficient email routing

• Well-organized website hosting service

Rudimentary Data Center Facility Systems

• Physical space or footprint

• Raised flooring for an elevated grid system

• In-room electrical/power-related facility

• Standby power/ backup power systems

• Copper and fiber cabling system

• Cooling systems in the form of chillers and air handlers

• Fire suppression devices help to detect or extinguish fire in a Data Center

Physical Space for Data Center

It refers to the footprint of Data Center equipment. The overall area of a Data Center service and associated zones such as storage space for electrical equipment and server cabinets must be properly calculated.

Raised Flooring for Data Center

An elevated grid system is installed in large Data Centers. Data cables, cool air and electrical whips along with moisture detectors, water pipes, fire suppressant cylinders and smoke detectors are transmitted through the space under a raised floor. This promotes easy management of power and smooth air flows.
