One physical location can have multiple listings, for example if it is a campus or multi-tenant building with multiple data centers.
For such a location the campus or multi-tenant building will count as one listing, and each data center on site for another listing.
Data centers will refer to campus/building listings as parent listings, via a reference to their unique ID.

How is your data sourced?

Our data originates from multiple sources, primarily:

• Operators: Data center operators and service providers use Data Center Map as a marketing tool, to promote their data centers, networks and services to potential clients. They have direct access to add and update listings.
• External sources: We monitor multiple external databases, to identify missing or changed listings. They are automatically queued for manual review.
• Manual sourcing: We manually identify operators that we are missing and manually add them to our database.
• End-users: End-users send us tips and requests, about missing or outdated listings, that we manually handle.

How complete is your data?

As there are no regulatory requirements to register data centers in a central database, there are no complete resources available. All databases are based on voluntary data submissions and/or collecting data from providers or other sources.

With our database dating back to 2007, we have one of the oldest and most comprehensive databases in the industry. Covering thousands of records on a global basis in this constantly changing industry, it is of course by no means 100% complete.

The database will always have missing listings as well as incorrect, incomplete or outdated listings. Most frequent reason for outdated listings is M&A.

How often is your data updated?

Our data is updated on a daily basis, by providers updating their listings, us updating listings as well as our systems automatically collecting data from external databases and systems. Some listings will be outdated, if they have not been maintained by the person or organization who added them.

What kind of data centers do you cover?

We primarily track data centers from operators offering colocation or cloud services, but also select crypto miners and hyperscale operators (incl. Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Meta and Apple).

We currently do not cover enterprise data centers or government data centers.

Does your database include data centers under development?

Yes, we track data centers in the following stages of their lifecycle:

• Land-Banked
• Planned
• Under Construction
• Operational

Lifecycle stages should only be considered indicative, as it is very hard to track when stages change.

Can we get a copy/export of your data?

We offer exports of our data in many different formats, please review our Data Explorer for further details, or reach out to us to let us know more about your needs.
