What is a Data Center? Presentation

So, what really happens to that photo of your new puppy when you use your phone to snap a pic of him to send to post on Instagram or share on Facebook?

In addition to other folks being able to see it, it also now resides online, in the cloud or, more precisely, in a data center. You see, websites like those store your stuff on super cool, super fast computers. And, those computers are housed in big cabinets called racks inside of even cooler buildings called data centers. And, they’re everywhere, even underwater!

Basically, data centers house computers that store information from banks, hospitals, stores, music download companies, and other businesses.
