Evolution of Data Centers: From ENIAC to Cloud Computing

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Data centers, the physical facilities housing the computers essential for internet services and AI, have evolved significantly since the first one was built in 1945 for the ENIAC. Initially room-sized, the development of smaller microcomputers by IBM and Apple in the 1990s led to the creation of modern data centers filled with servers. The advent of cloud computing further disrupted this landscape by enabling on-demand access to computing resources. AI
