Data center
What is a data center?
A data center is a purpose-built facility that houses servers, storage and networking with power, cooling and security. Here is what it does and which models DGN offers.
Core building blocks
IT gear alone is not enough. Uninterruptible power, cooling, physical security, fire suppression and internet backbone must work together. Weakness in any layer shows up as downtime or poor performance.
For enterprise workloads, whether the facility is in its own building, on-site response time and carrier diversity are also key differentiators.
Service models
In colocation you house your own servers in a cabinet. With a dedicated server you rent the hardware. Dedicated space lets you build a private cage or office footprint by the square meter.
Cloud/VPS delivers virtual capacity from the same facility with high flexibility but shared or quota-based resources. Pick the model for the workload.
How DGN fits
DGN operates two purpose-designed areas in our Bursa building. See the data center page for infrastructure detail and the pricing page for packages.
Weigh redundant power, multi-carrier access, physical access and on-site response together. Cheap rack space alone is not a decision criterion.
Easy-to-mix terms
Hosting often means shared web hosting; colocation means your hardware; dedicated means rented bare metal; cloud means virtual capacity. One facility can offer all of them.
For local data residency, low latency and on-site support in Türkiye, a domestic data center is often a better frame than overseas cloud alone.
Quick answers
Is a data center the same as a server room?
No. A data center is purpose-built for redundant power, cooling, security and backbone. Office server rooms usually cover only part of that stack.
Do I need my own server for colocation?
Yes. If you do not want hardware, look at dedicated or cloud.
