With IT operations becoming more complex, the need for controlling IT resources have only risen. This has led to the development of client servers, networking equipment, which together with structured cabling, shifted servers to a specific room and termed them as Data Centers.
As advanced technology and IT hardware entered a more innovative zone, the components of the data centers were connected with cables and standard racks mounted on elevated floors. Though cable trays were also installed, these mainframes required a great deal of power for cooling. Further the dot com bubble and fast internet connectivity made organizations want to deploy data centers with larger facilities called Internet Data Center and provided for wide range of solutions for system deployment and operation. A datacenter is a facility used to house computer systems, storage systems, backup power supplies, redundant data communications connections, air conditioning, fire suppression and security devices.
An effective data center operation is based on a balanced facility and equipment. Standardization of building and equipment engineering and modularity in design and construction of data center brings in efficiency. The main purpose of a data center is running the applications such as ERP & CRM that handle the core business and operational data of the organization. With the advent of cloud computing technology, data centers have been transformed into one that would cater for colocation services, dedicated hosting services , firewall and backup solutions.
