A '''[[data center]]''' is a facility used to house computer systems and associated components such as telecommunications and storage systems. A data center generally includes redundant or backup power supplies, redundant data communications connections, environmental controls (e.g. air conditioning and fire suppression), and various security devices. Data centers vary in size, with some large data centers capable of using as much electricity as a "medium-size town."
An '''[[ambulatory surgery center]]''' ('''ASC''') is a health care facility where surgical procedures not requiring [[Hospital|hospitalization]] are performed, with an expected duration of services less than 24 hours following admission. Such surgery is commonly less complicated than that requiring hospitalization. Avoiding hospitalization can result in cost savings to the party responsible for paying for the patient's health care.

The main purpose of many data centers is for running applications that handle the core business and operational data of one or more organizations. Often those applications will be composed of multiple hosts, each running a single component. Common components of such applications include databases, file servers, application servers, and middleware. Such systems may be proprietary and developed internally by the organization or bought from enterprise software vendors. However, a data center may also solely be concerned with operations architecture or other services. ('''[[Data center|Full article...]]''')<br />

An ambulatory surgery center (ASC) is a health care facility where surgical procedures not requiring hospitalization are performed, with an expected duration of services less than 24 hours following admission. Such surgery is commonly less complicated than that requiring hospitalization. Avoiding hospitalization can result in cost savings to the party responsible for paying for the patient's health care. The ASC may also be known as an outpatient surgery center, same day surgery center, or surgicenter.

An ASC specializes in providing surgical procedures, including certain pain management and diagnostic (e.g., colonoscopy) services in an outpatient setting. In simple terms, ASC-qualified procedures can be considered procedures that are more intensive than those done in the average doctor's office but not so intensive as to require a hospital stay.
