Are there any difference between Digital storage facilities and Data storage devices

[Purity Emmanuel]

Help me out this two things confuse me I don't get it when they say digital storage facilities what are they?

 

[Makanyaga]

Actually no! The parts are smaller than their whole and the vice versa is true (the whole is greater than its parts). However, not all data is digital!

 

[Purity Emmanuel]

Thank you for that

Maybe if by facilities they mean the physical location so a Data Center is a Digital Storage facility like a Hospital is a medical care facility.

Or to say it in a different way. A digital storage facilty can be a datacenter with many data storage devices. Datacenters are typically used by large corporations or government agencies as either their primary data storage facility or as a Back-up/disaster recovery site.

Due to the sensitive nature of their business they typically have strong physical security, access control, extensive power back-up.

Data centers can come in quite handy but are a bit expensive to build :A S embarassed:
