A data center is a facility used to house computer systems and associated components, such as telecommunications and storage systems. It usually includes redundant or backup power supplies, redundant data communications connections, environmental controls (e.g., air conditioning, fire suppression) and security devices.


Data center classification

In case of data center classification There are four types of data center. Those are Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3, Tier 4.


Single non-redundant distribution path serving the IT equipment, Non-redundant capacity components, Basic site infrastructure guaranteeing 99.671% availability require for Tier 1 data center.


Redundant site infrastructure capacity components guaranteeing 99.741% availability and also Fulfils all Tier 1 requirements are essential for Tier 2 data center.

Green data center : There are one more term related to data center, that is green data center. In a easy way green data center is a repository for the storage, management, and dissemination of data in which the mechanical, lighting, electrical and computer systems are designed for maximum energy efficiency and minimum environmental impact. The construction and operation of a green data center includes advanced technologies and strategies.


Here are some examples:

Minimizing the footprints of the buildings.

The use of low-emission building materials, carpets and paints.

Sustainable landscaping.

Waste recycling.

Installation of catalytic converters on backup generators.

The use of alternative energy technologies such as photovoltaics, heat pumps, and evaporative cooling.

The use of hybrid or electric company vehicles.


Building and certifying a green data center or other facility can be expensive up front, but long-term cost savings can be realized on operations and maintenance. Another advantage is the fact that green facilities offer employees a healthy, comfortable work environment. In addition, green facilities enhance relations with local communities.


Here are ten ways you can go green:

Evaluate your energy efficiency.

Redesign your cooling system.

Reconsider your redundancy.

Use adjustable equipment.

Virtualize your storage.

Use Energy Star-rated appliances.

Donate or recycle legacy servers.

Look outside the datacenter.

Research alternative power sources.

Get your management involved.


You obviously research that which type of Data Center Services provide your data center. So in my opinion I think that any business owner can research about data center and it's services. They can choose that data center which is appropriate for their online business.
