DENVER, April 30, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Data centers are the unseen workhorse of everyday existence, quietly enabling the conveniences often taken for granted. From powering critical services like cancer research and emergency response systems to facilitating online learning, meetings and driving technological innovation, these facilities are at the heart of modern society. Yet most people only have a vague understanding of what a data center is, what it does and how it enables everyday life.
