A data center probably is part of your life today. That’s because data centers enable everything from email, text messaging and content streaming to critical services like emergency response systems, life-saving research, online learning and, of course, business.
CoreSite, an American Tower Company, operates data centers where enterprises locate servers and networking equipment to communicate, store and process data, connect to clouds and bring products and services to market.
With a 20+ year history, CoreSite has transformed physical facilities where telecom provider networks converge into data centers, such as the former Western Union Telegraph building in the heart of Chicago’s financial district, as well as developed purpose-built facilities enabling world-changing technologies – CoreSite’s CH2 data center is certified by NVIDIA as an optimized environment for AI deployment.
Data Center Knowledgebase
Recent innovations have brought data centers into the limelight. However, most people have little understanding of how data centers work and the ways they benefit people, businesses and communities.
CoreSite developed an area on its website, the Data Center Knowledgebase, to provide exactly that type of information. The Knowledgebase offers videos, research and other content on:
- General Data Center Operations: The different types of data centers and power, cooling, connectivity and security systems
- Tech Innovation: The advanced technology deployed at data centers and the ways they drive innovation
- Economic Impact: Reports on how the data center industry stimulates economic growth, creates jobs and creates economic stability
- Energy Efficiency: Data centers can help companies optimize energy usage and the energy demand differences of on-premises, colocation and hyperscale data centers
- Community Support: Highlights how data centers, and the people who run the facilities, connect with communities while making education, mentorship and activism contributions
Data centers also generate substantial property tax revenues and offer well-paying jobs and career opportunities in operations, business administration, sales, engineering, client services, marketing and human resources. The industry is growing significantly, driven by ubiquitous digital transformation.
