CoreSite, an American Tower company, recently launched the Data Center Knowledge Base.
Through informative videos, infographics, articles and more, this digital content hub highlights the pivotal role data centers play in transmitting, processing and storing vast amounts of data across both wireless and wireline networks – acting as the invisible engine that helps keep the modern world running smoothly.
“Everyone is a consumer of data centers; data is generated every time you use a smart phone, stream a show or send an email – and that data has to be stored and processed,” said Juan Font, President and CEO of CoreSite and SVP of American Tower. “Data centers serve as the backbone and critical infrastructure for all this data, and we saw an opportunity to help people understand this relationship and the many benefits data centers have long contributed to our modern way of life.”
The Data Center Knowledge Base offers:
- General Data Center Operations: Information on what data centers are, the different types of data centers, how they work and how they enable daily life.
- Tech Innovation: Overview of the advanced technology deployed at data centers—home of the cloud and AI applications—and how data centers are fueling advancements and driving innovation.
- Economic Impact: Details on how the data center industry stimulates economic growth, creates jobs and helps provide stability.
- Energy Efficiency: Information on how data centers can help companies optimize energy usage and the energy demand of different types of data centers.
- Community Support: Highlights how data centers, and the people who run the facilities, help connect their local communities while making education, mentorship and activism contributions.
