Electrical and IT Connectivity

What does it take for Netflix to stream its videos 24/7 nonstop at instant speed?

Through both electrical and IT Connectivity Infrastructure, we see that data centers are designed to be a resilient structure. These systems are designed to prevent failures, but simultaneously to be resilient to all forms of potential harm. The zeros and ones have become so integral to the internet and the economy it provides that any threat of losing them can even seem like a national threat.  

The promise of fast speed and reliability is established on redundancy and overassurance. These qualities are the insurance to a billion-dollar industry where the processes are intended to be invisible.

Meanwhile, the redundancy in data leads to a waste of resources and materials to construct the physical infrastructure for data storage and processing, as well as all the industrial products that empower the transmission and consumption of data.

As the data centers might be run by private corporations while the power infrastructure is supplied by a complex that involves private contractors and government investments, the composition of multi-ownership creates a challenge in identifying the power relationship between the civilian-owned data centers and the state.

To the mass users or even to the industry itself, the transmission of data remains an obscured process in the "cloud", raising issues of privacy, information failure, security, etc. The data center thus became the temporary locus of information that is transient when transmitting.
