Data centers are usually classified according to their ownership, scale and operational purposes. Their categories are sharp indicators to reflect the differences in infrastructure designing, redundancy and intended use circumstances. Enterprise data centers are owned and operated by a single organization for their own internal IT needs, rather than for commercial hosting of other companies' data. They.
