There's probably not a hard line. Just like the difference between a
business "computer room" and "data center" The room I'm in now has five
racks, two phase power and is drawing over 50A, but I don't think anyone
would call it a datacenter, it's a computer room. Biggest distinction
in this case would be that the room is also used for storage and office
space.
