What is data centre ?
A datacentre or sometimes referred to as a server farm is a centralised physical location housing compute resources (high-end servers), storage (SSD, HDD, Flash, Optical), and networking equipment (routers, switches, firewalls, etc.) for collecting, storing, processing, distributing and allowing access to large amounts of data. Apart from the IT equipment data centre also houses environment controls (airflow, humidity & temperature sensors), server racks, power supplies (backup systems, generators), and cabling systems (ethernet, copper, optical fibre). Initially datacentres were introduced to manage large influx of service requests and store some amount of user generated data whereas now it has evolved to adopt technologies such as virtualisation, cloud computing, mobile, Internet of Things (IoT) applications, machine learning, artificial intelligence (AI) and big data analytics.
There are four main types of data centres :
a) Enterprise data centers - Built, owned, and managed by a company for particular use-cases for their target user set. They are usually built on-site but can also be built away from the company premise.
b) Managed services data centers - Deployed, managed, and monitored by a third-party datacentre service provider for a company. The features and functionality can be accessed by the company using a managed service platform (MSP)
c) Colocation data centers - Consist of one data center owner selling space, power, and cooling to multiple enterprises and hyperscale customers in a specific location. The company focuses entirely on running the compute, storage, and networking equipment while the data centre service provider takes care of the space, power, cooling, security and IT racks.
d) Cloud data centers- An off-site datacentre provider such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, IBM Cloud that stores the data of various enterprises. The data is fragmented and stored at various locations across the internet (ie datacentres across the world) offering enhanced security, scalability, management, reliability, customisation, and cost-effectiveness.
