Data Center

A data center is a repository that houses computing facilities like servers, routers, switches, and firewalls, as well as supporting components like backup equipment, fire suppression facilities, and air conditioning. A data center may be complex (a dedicated building) or simple (an area or room that houses only a few servers). A data center is a facility where an organization or a service provider centralizes its necessary computing resources. Most of the data we receive and send through our mobile phones, tablets, and computers ends up stored in these data centers — which are also referred to as “the Cloud”.

Cloud data centers and managed data centers are common models of data center hosting.

Turn Key Solutions utilizes two off-site data centers to ensure that our clients’ information is secure. Our first Data Center is located in Dallas, TX.
