THE GLOBAL REFERENCEEDITION 2026

Data Centre Atlas.

The world's digital infrastructure.
Every country. The projects shaping what comes next.

How to read this

Data centres: facility counts, not buildings or server counts.

Tracked projects: a curated subset of publicly reported developments, not all facilities.

MW: reported IT capacity in megawatts; 1,000 MW = 1 GW.

Statuses: operational = live; construction = being built; planned/announced = future; paused = on hold.

Types: Hyperscale = large campuses; Colocation = shared facilities; AI campus = AI compute.

Other types: Edge = local compute; Enterprise = private use; Cloud region = regional cloud infrastructure.

Facility counts: Data Center Map (via Brilliant Maps), Jul 2026. Project capacities are as reported; some are estimates.
