Number Of Global Hyperscale Data Centers Has Doubled
24 Mar 2025
News
The number of large data centers operated by hyperscale providers such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) grew to 1,136 at the end of 2024, according to new data from Synergy Research Group.
While the number of these facilities has doubled over the last five years, it’s taken less than four years for the total capacity of operational hyperscale data centers to double, as the average capacity of newly opened facilities continues to climb. The U.S. still accounts for more than half of total worldwide capacity (measured by MW of critical IT load) with Europe and China each accounting for about a third of the balance, according to Synergy’s data.
