datacenter

Where it comes from

From data + center; as is generally true of English orthography for many compound nouns, the open compound was the original form and the solid compound gained acceptance over time. In the particular case of data center and datacenter, the 2020s were the decade when the solid variant went from IT-insider-jargon-only status to wide acceptance in general register.

noun datacenters

alternative Alternative spelling of data centre If intelligence says that a country outside the agreement is building a GPU cluster, be less scared of a shooting conflict between nations than of the moratorium being violated; be willing to destroy a rogue datacenter by airstrike.
