Notes

• Active means code activity in the past year.

Spelling

They are all correct in some areas or languages.

datacenter
datacentre
data centre
data center

I write Data Centre as center is a design location and centre is a place. In the end it does not matter and this is not a sticking point. Just make sure to add the various spellings to documentation on your DCIM so people can find it.
