I think a reasonable reader can figure out from context what “data center” means. If you have a bunch of computers in a home or office you might call it a rack, or a network closet, maybe a server room. Most people won’t call it a data center.
If you complain that the definition of “data center” is inexact, you’re missing the point—the definition of “edge” is inexact, too. That’s okay. People have a good enough definition of “data center” that it doesn’t need to be explained here. And people also understand that given definitions are not perfectly precise—there are exceptions and unusual cases.

Your home or office with a bunch of computers can be classified as a data center. It might not be very redundant or efficient, but still.
