Every business needs computing equipment to run its web applications, offer services to customers, sell products, or run internal applications for accounts, human resources, and operations management. As the business grows and IT operations increase, the scale and amount of required equipment also increases exponentially. Equipment that is distributed across several branches and locations is hard to maintain. Instead, companies use data centers to bring their devices to a central location and manage it cost effectively. Instead of keeping it on premises, they can also use third-party data centers.
Data centers bring several benefits, such as:
Backup power supplies to manage power outages
Data replication across several machines for disaster recovery
Temperature-controlled facilities to extend the life of the equipment
Easier implementation of security measures for compliance with data laws
