What is a Data Center?

What is a data center and how does it work? A data center is a physical facility in which organizations house IT infrastructure for their critical applications and services. There are different types of data center, such as enterprise, cloud, and managed services. Most data centers are composed of network, compute, and storage devices, each of which is indispensable.

In recent years, the demand for AI/ML capabilities in data centers has been increasing. With the emergence of AI models like LLM (Large Language Models) or multi-function GenAI (Generative AI), a well-designed network determines AI workload performance.

We can say that AI data centers are the lifeblood of AI’s operational capabilities. AI data centers consist of high-capacity AI servers, switches, transceivers, and cables. Each component plays a crucial role in ensuring the seamless performance and reliability of AI solutions.
