The idea of data centers arose in the 1980s when the popularity and the use of computers was becoming more popular, than it was referred to as a computer room and was used the house main servers. In current times setting up a data center has a specific set of needs, design, construction and operation. vs. What are the potential benefits of a data center? Is it more costly to construct and maintain a data center versus a cloud computing storage method? A data center is awesome for any large company to have because it is a safe and secure location that can house as much data desired and although it can prove to be costly most of the costs are in the construction of the facility. The only major continuing costs are maintenance, labor costs and air. When deciding between a data center or the cloud, it all depends on the type of business that is using the system, how much they are willing to spend and which feels like a better fit. --------------------------------------------- The idea of cloud computing came in the 1980s when the demand for less expensive, yet powerful processors. In the 1990s as technology and computing began to boom and grid and utility computer became popular. Today the term cloud computing is "a collection of services delivered via the internet" and is customizable to fit the needs of a business or industry. What is a Data Center? Many people think that because cloud computing is an off site, internet based method of storage that is it cheaper, false. To convert to cloud computing a company must consider information moving costs, upload or download fees, labor costs etc. The cloud can cost 3 to 4 times more than on site data storage. Cloud computing is a smart way to go for a business cause storage is unlimited and can be accessed anywhere because it is an off site, internet location that the data is stored. Most of the costs for the cloud go towards labor costs and the initial moving of data. A data center is a physical location that stores a computer network's most important systems and operations. Including: back up power supplies, air conditioning, and security applications. Although both data centers and cloud computing have pros and cons, and can both be quite expensive there are pros and cons to each. "To compile and protect the data of a person or company"
