Have you ever wondered where the data generated during online browsing, shopping, and socializing is stored? The answer is data center (IDC).
Officially, the data center is a collection of global collaborative network equipment, which aims to transmit, accelerate, display, calculate and store data information on the Internet infrastructure. Simply put, a data center is a “warehouse” for online data. Although these data may appear virtual, they become tangible when written to the hard drive.
Hard drives are not isolated, they are plugged into servers, which are placed in cabinets, and cabinets are placed in rooms. This is the concept of a computer room. Multiple computer rooms connected together form a data center.
With the advancement of technology, the demand for data centers is also constantly growing. Emerging industries such as artificial intelligence, 5G, and industrial Internet all need data centers as support. In the future, wherever there is a need for data storage and computing, data centers will be indispensable.
