With thousands of companies competing, many of them say they own or run their own datacenter. But most of those statements are made by young people who might run a server or two from their basement.

So one question has been bugging me for a while: what exactly is a datacenter in Your perspective? Does the one "in the basement" count as one? What defines a dataceter? How do you think a datacenter should be and when should people have the right to call something a datacenter?

Best,
