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.
