Morphology
The meaning 'a facility where computer systems and related equipment are housed' is directly and compositionally derived from 'data' (information) + 'center' (a place providing a service). This noun–noun compounding pattern is highly productive in English and parallels forms in many languages (e.g. Spanish 'centro de datos'), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can reliably infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Data center comes from the simple picture of a central building that holds many computers and the data they keep. The word center shows it is the main place where people 'store' and 'look after' digital information, so today it means a place that houses and cares for computer systems and important data.
