Corporate data facilities
- Organizations own and operate enterprise Data Centers, typically large corporations with significant IT capabilities.
- These Data Centers support the IT operations and critical applications of a single company, including any sub-brands.
- Enterprise Data Centers can be located on-site or off-site, and are secure facilities accessible only to authorized employees.
- Data Centers are categorized into tiers based on redundancy and power feeds, with Tier 4 being the most resilient.
- Hyperscale Data Centers, like those of Amazon, Google, and Meta, maximize hardware density and minimize administrative and cooling costs.
Data Centers with Co-Location Services
- Co-location Data Centers are facilities owned and operated by third-party providers specializing in Data Center services.
- These centers cater to companies needing IT processing power without the resources or expertise to manage on-site.
- They are a cost-effective option for businesses of various sizes, eliminating the need for setting up and maintaining enterprise Data Centers.
Services for Managed Data Centers
Managed services Data Centers, unlike co-location Data Centers, are owned and operated by a third-party provider offering a more comprehensive approach. Instead of purchasing infrastructure and services, businesses opt to lease them, receiving full data storage and computing services from the Data Center owner.
Cloud-Based Data Centers
Cloud Data Centers are utilized by businesses to access Data Center services online instead of physically. These Data Centers are owned and operated by Cloud services providers, who offer an infrastructure-as-a-service model. Prominent players in this field include Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud.
