Global Data Centers: Location Is Key to Infrastructure Decisions

Not all data center space is created equal. And not all regions can support your workloads the same way.

That’s why we built the Regions view on colocapacity.com to help infrastructure teams explore where the real activity is happening and what makes each market unique.

Whether you’re repatriating workloads, placing AI infrastructure closer to users, or just need transparency before your next RFP, understanding regional data center dynamics is where smarter sourcing starts.

Why Regions Still Matter (Even in a “Cloud” World)

Cloud is global but your users, apps, and compliance needs are not. Where you place infrastructure still affects:

• Latency (e.g. sub-10ms is still king for real-time apps)

• Cost of connectivity (backhaul is real money)

• Regulatory exposure (think GDPR, HIPAA, or data residency laws)

• Access to power and network redundancy

• Proximity to cloud on-ramps and IXPs

That’s why major hubs like Ashburn, Frankfurt, Singapore, Silicon Valley, continue to attract the lion’s share of global infrastructure investment.

What You’ll Actually See in Colocapacity’s Regions View

The Regions view isn’t just a list of cities; it’s a strategic lens. Each region on Colocapacity.com gives you:

• A high-level summary of the market

Who’s Building More (and Where to Watch in 2025)

Some of the world’s busiest regions are only getting busier. According to recent reports from Synergy Research and CBRE:

• Ashburn continues to lead the U.S. in under-construction capacity

• Tokyo and Osaka are expanding rapidly to support AI and cloud growth in Asia

• Madrid, Paris, and Warsaw are emerging as edge-adjacent hubs for European workloads

• Johannesburg and Nairobi are gaining traction as connectivity across Africa improves

We’re tracking this in real time and colocapacity.com will continue to add market-level insights, capacity indicators, and provider updates to help users evaluate quickly.
