"A data center (American English) or data centre (British English) is a building, dedicated space within a building, or a group of buildings used to house computer systems and associated components, such as telecommunications and storage systems." Data centers are often referred to as a singular thing, but in actuality they are composed of a number of technical elements. These can be broken down into three categories:
__Compute: The memory and processing power to run the applications, generally provided by high-end servers
__Storage: Important enterprise data is generally housed in a data center, on media ranging from tape to solid-state drives, with multiple backups
__Networking: Interconnections between data center components and to the outside world, including routers, switches, application-delivery controllers, and more
