About Data Centers Intel
Data Centers Intel is a directory of data centers: where they are, who operates them, what kind of facility they are and what capacity their operators publish.
Coverage
The directory lists 8,251 data centers in 152 countries, run by 1,843 named operators. It covers colocation facilities, sites owned by large cloud providers, cloud regions and enterprise facilities that organizations run for their own use.
Coverage is uneven. It is most complete where operators publish their own facility lists and where OpenStreetMap is mapped in detail. Some listings are for whole campuses or metro markets rather than single buildings, and some have only a city rather than an exact site.
How records are built
Listings come from operator websites, OpenStreetMap, Overture Maps, Wikidata, the Uptime Institute certification list, cloud providers' location pages and the Texas Comptroller. Listings that describe the same facility are combined into one record: same operator and facility code, the same name within a short distance, or the same name in the same city. Each facility page lists the sources behind it. The data sources page gives details and licenses.
How records are classified
Record level says what a listing describes: a single building, a campus of several buildings, a market or metro area (for example a cloud region), or city only when the source names a city but not a site.
Facility type says who uses it: colocation (space rented to other companies), hyperscaler (owned by a large cloud provider), cloud region, enterprise (run by an organization for its own use) or unclassified when the sources don't say.
Capacity figures are shown only when the operator publishes them. Locations are marked as published, geocoded from the street address, or approximate.
Who runs this site
The site is operated by Data Centers Intel. It has no user accounts. It uses Google Analytics to count visits; the privacy policy explains it. The site shows no advertising at present. To report an error or ask for a listing to be corrected or removed, use the contact form.
Updates and corrections
The data is rebuilt from fresh downloads of every source and checked by automated tests before it is published; the date of the current data is at the bottom of every page. Reported errors are checked against the sources and fixed in the next rebuild. The data sources and methods page describes how records are merged and classified and where the data has gaps.
