Abstract
The mobile devices that we use every day, and that seemingly have unlimited access to information, have limited storage capacity and processing power (storage capacities are usually fewer than 128 GB). They are dependent upon digital storage and servers in remote data centers that are accessible over the Internet, often called the cloud. The usefulness of these mobile consumer products and the services they provide depend upon the enterprise infrastructure that supports them. This article will explore what goes on in these data centers and how these consumer services get delivered to us. So, let´s take an inside look at these data centers and the networks they make possible to see how content gets to your consumer products.
