Data centers hold large amounts of confidential data for their own purposes and for the needs of their customers. The reduced cost of storage media increases the amount of storage available for data backup, whether locally, remotely or both.
Data centers are facilities that use complex network, computing and storage systems to provide shared access to applications and data. Industry standards exist to help design, build and maintain data center facilities and infrastructure to ensure the security and availability of data.
Compute, storage and networking are the three main types of components used in data centers. However, these components are only the tip of the iceberg in the modern data center. On the surface, the supporting infrastructure is critical to the ability of enterprise data centers to achieve service level agreements.
The generators of the data center are the servers. In an edge computing model, the processing and memory used to run applications on the server may be virtualized, physical, distributed among containers, or distributed among remote nodes. A general-purpose cpu may not be the best choice for solving artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) problems, so the data center must use the processor best suited for this task.
For their own purposes and the needs of their customers, data centers hold large amounts of confidential data. The reduced cost of storage media increases the amount of storage available for data backup, whether locally, remotely or both. Data access times are becoming faster due to advances in non-volatile storage media. In addition, just like anything else software-defined, software-defined storage technology has increased personnel productivity when managing data center storage systems.
Cabling, switches, routers, and firewalls are all examples of data center networking devices that connect servers to each other and to the outside world. When properly designed and organized, they can handle large volumes of traffic without sacrificing efficiency. A typical three-tier network topology consists of a core switch at the edge of the data center (which connects the data center to the Internet) and an intermediate aggregation layer (which combines the core layer with the access layer, which hosts the servers). The incumbent data center network provides cloud-level mobility and scalability due to innovations such as hyperscale network security and software-defined networking.
