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.
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?
