        They also stand for the same thing (demilitarized zone) oddly enough.

          Not oddly enough. Exactly as expected. DMZ in networking forwards all ports to a specific IP address behind the firewall. That address is demilitarized. It has no firewall defending it.

          I’ve seen it backronymed into “data management zone” in a few places, but it will always be “demilitarized zone” to me.
