Today, I research how to people can vote 21 BPs in EOS system, so I am wondering, is EOS full decentralized or it still uses a server center?

DPoS (the consensus Algorithm of EOS.IO) is a trade-off between full decentralization and speed.
While PoW algorithms allow almost all nodes on the network to create blocks, DPoS gives this privilege to selected Block-Producers (BPs). These are elected by the community. 21 in EOS that are active and 21 in stand by if some BP fails.
In theory BPs should be heterogeneous and geographically distributed. There are several guidelines how to select "good" BPs. Also the community profits from BPs that have their own servers. If all the Nodes are setup on the same cloud e.g. AWS there would be less decentralization.
The actual state of decentralization depends on the active BPs. You can check them e.g. here. Almost every BP has a website or information why you should vote for them. Also reddit has good information about trustful BPs and the latest activities.
However DPoS is often criticized for the whales (people/institutions that hold many tokens - voting power). They may vote multiple BPs they like or they participate with into the pool. Nevertheless the technology is able to provide a good grade of decentralization.

EOS does not have a central server or a single point of failure.
All 21 block producers can be replaced and there is a reserve pool 100 block producers waiting at any moment.
Here you get a geo map of active producers https://www.eos-radar.com/
