A data center is a facility used to house computer systems and associated components, such as telecommunications and storage systems. It is also a more globalized definition used when describing a company's overall functions. (ie, tv station).
A server room is the centralized location for all IT related equipment that is part of a data center facility.

Data Centers are usually bigger and have more equipment than a server room, but the terms can be used interchangably.
Ads like to refer to them as Data Centers. There is no absolute formal definition although a sales type will harp on how a data center has redundant power and cooling.
You might look at www.apc.com they sell UPS and other equipment for server rooms and Data Centers.

A data center is an office used to house PC frameworks and related parts, for example, broadcast communications and capacity frameworks. It is additionally a more globalized definition utilized while depicting an organization's general capacities. A server room is the brought together area for all IT related gear that is a piece of a server farm office.

For example, a high-tech company might have a server room at their headquarters to run their websites and and email, whereas a huge company that does web stuff as their business (Google, Media Temple, etc) might have a data center -- 4000+ square feet of nothing but servers and stuff.

A server room is just one room within a data center. A data center implies several "rooms". A LARGE data center (as ones in which I've worked) may include rooms for output management (printers...); rooms for networking (communications devices, transmitters, monitors, both robotic and human); rooms for programmers (some for systems programmers and some for applications programmers); rooms for data storage such as backup disks and the like); rooms for power management; ...and on...and on...
