Hello,

I work for a startup firm and I am trying to understand the differences of some terminology as it could be beneficial for future prospects.

What is the difference between a Data Center and a Data Warehouse? Or is there one?

After someone helps me with this differentiation I will be happy to post some more. I would like to learn as much as I can about Data Centers and Data Warehouses.

All responses are welcome. Thank you.

Not certain, but I think a data "center" refers to a centralized locaton where data can be accessed, whereas the data "warehouse" typically refers primarily to data storage.

As suggested previously, those terms are likely interchangeable in industry, with some having a standard of terminology, others not.
