4. What is Data Center ?
• A Data Center is a facility on some location
where multiple servers/machines are engaged
in collection, storing, processing and
distribution of massive amount of data.
• Data Centers house a network’s most critical
systems and are vital to the continuity of daily

5. Why we need of Data Centers?
• For storing massive amount of data.
• For providing the 24x7 services to the
customers.
• For data safety and security.
• For conducting day to day business
operations.
• Google & Facebook are investing $700
million.

6. Components of Data Center
A data center consists of:
• A bunch of servers connected through network to run
complex applications.
• A Cooling system to manage the heat released by
machines.
• Proper Ventilation systems to ensure optimal air-flow.
• Scrutinized Security systems to prevent unauthorized
access to data across centers.
• Power Distribution & Backup Units (gensets, batteries, etc.)
for smooth execution using power supply units.
• Redundant Units / Backup systems to ensure maximum
uptime.
