Honestly that doesn’t really need a datacenter, a single solar panel and a low power computer or couple of PIs.
I think the scale of these AI datacenter build out is part of the problem, that level of compute is really only useful for AI and Ai-adjacent loads like mass surveillance!
I guess it depends on how much equipment is needed before something becomes a “datacenter”. I don’t really see a community hub being a massive supercomputer, maybe a small office or a room in a local library. I’d argue that a single server could be called a datacenter if it centralizes data, but I don’t think that is the common understanding of the word. Maybe the word needs to be reclaimed.
literally no one calls a single server a datacenter, and there is no reason to. If you did, then you’d just need to come up with a new term for datacenters. for what? Just use the term the way everyone else does.
isnt thats what PALANTIR is been trying to peddle to trump, its quite odd, more of a conicidenc we started hearing more and more about palantir since last year, when most people dint even notice it existed.

Well…
A data center is… A data center. So a central plave for data.
It isn’t called Data Warehouse, Data Industrual Plant or Data Mega Shop.
So - if the place is… a central place for the town people’s data (as in OC’s cases)…
Wouldn’t “Data Center” be a fitting name?
No, just a server room/rack.
