The closest I've seen was the server room in Mad Games Tycoon 1/2, but it was pretty basic.

Now that I think about it, you could probably do a pretty good data centre management game. In addition to building/managing/expanding your data centres, I would also like an in-depth business component where you are a cloud service provider and you would have to pick business strategy and specializations (which would link in with what you built).

You can even do scenarios like being a small CSP in Europe, and you would have to compete against foreign hyperscalers while trying to capitalize on political instability in their home country and newfound interest in local CSP services.
