data center
This term refers to the physical infrastructure required to house computing hardware. It is distinct from "cloud computing," which is the service model; a cloud service is physically hosted within a data center. The term implies a high-security environment with specialized cooling, power redundancy, and physical access controls.
In professional contexts, it is often used interchangeably with "server farm," though "data center" is the more formal and comprehensive term, encompassing the building and its supporting utilities rather than just the racks of servers.
