  An AC can only cool the home, while a heat pump can both cool and heat a home. They are different things, and worth looking into.

    During this exchange air is run over a compressed coolant which cools the air and reintroduces it back to the room

    That’s just an air conditioner. The difference between an air conditoner and a heat pump is that a heat pump has a reversal valve that allows the refrigerant to run backwards through the system.

    My point is someone is using a whole bunch of words to say “I’d air-condition my server room”. It’s not exactly a ground breaking idea.
