Diagram of the DC Market Insights data center database: facilities linked to operators, projects, deals, power, prices and risk

What is a data center database?

A data center database is a structured record of data center facilities and everything that shapes them: who owns them, how much capacity they have, what is being built, the deals, the power, the prices and the risks.

Ours is built as one graph. Every facility, operator, project, deal and market has one id, so a question that crosses layers has one answer: which AI-ready sites in a market have power secured, who built them, what similar assets sold for, and how exposed they are to flood or heat.

The datasets

16 layers sit on top of the facility and operator records. Live datasets have their own page with a preview, coverage and method. The others are being built market by market and can already be delivered on request for the markets we have covered.

Dataset · Projects and live datesConstruction pipelineA data center construction pipeline is the list of data center projects that have been announced, permitted or started but are not yet live, with the capacity each one adds and the date it is expected to go live.868 projects, 44 countriesLive Dataset · Deal comps and valuationDeal compsA data center transaction comp is a past deal used as a yardstick for a new one. Value per MW divides the deal value by the capacity named in the deal, so deals of different sizes can be compared.43 comps, 17 countriesLive

Dataset · Facility capabilitiesAI-ready capabilitiesAn AI-ready data center is a facility whose operator states it can host GPU clusters: high power per rack, usually 30 kW and above, liquid or rear-door cooling, and the power and floor loading to support them.22 facts, 1 marketsOn request

Dataset · Site riskSite riskData center site risk data places each facility on public hazard maps, so its exposure to flood, earthquake, heat and water stress can be compared across a portfolio.3400 facts, 105 marketsLive

Dataset · Colocation pricesColocation price indexA colocation pricing index tracks what data center space and power cost in each market, usually as a monthly price per kW of committed power or per rack, split into wholesale and retail deals.0 facts, 0 marketsOn request

Dataset · Supply chainSupply chainThe data center supply chain is the set of contractors and equipment makers that design, build and equip each facility, from the general contractor to chillers, switchgear, UPS and generators.0 facts, 0 marketsOn request

Dataset · PowerPower dealsData center power deals are the contracts and connections that supply a campus: long-term power purchase agreements, on-site generation such as gas turbines or fuel cells, and positions in the utility's connection queue.0 facts, 0 marketsOn request

Dataset · DemandHyperscaler capexHyperscaler capex is the capital spending of the largest cloud and AI companies, most of it on data centers, servers and networking. It is the clearest signal of how much new capacity will be needed.0 facts, 0 marketsOn request

Dataset · Operator financialsOperator financialsData center operator financials are the reported results of listed operators and REITs, the companies that own and lease data center capacity.0 facts, 0 marketsOn request

Dataset · ConnectivityConnectivityConnectivity data shows how well a data center market is linked to the rest of the world: which subsea cables land there, when they are ready, and how many networks meet at its internet exchanges.0 facts, 0 marketsOn request

Dataset · IncidentsOutages and incidentsA data center incident is an event that stops or threatens service at a facility, such as a power failure, a cooling failure, a fire or a flood.0 facts, 0 marketsOn request

Dataset · EdgeEdge sitesEdge data centers are small facilities close to users and networks, often in telecom exchanges or at the base of towers, that cut delay for applications such as streaming, gaming and AI inference.0 facts, 0 marketsOn request

Dataset · Permits and local approvalsPermits and incentivesData center permits and incentives are the local approvals a project needs and the public support it receives: air permits for backup generators, zoning votes, tax abatement and incentive agreements, and the jobs and investment it pledges in return.0 facts, 0 marketsOn request

Dataset · SustainabilityWater and energy useData center sustainability data shows how much water and electricity a facility uses, how efficiently (PUE and WUE), how much of its power is renewable and what emissions it reports.8 facts, 1 marketsOn request

Dataset · Market fundamentalsVacancy and absorptionData center market fundamentals measure supply and demand in a market: how much capacity exists, how much is empty, how much was leased in a period, how much new supply is already let, and what it costs to build.0 facts, 0 marketsOn request

Dataset · Electricity ratesElectricity ratesData center electricity rates are the prices utilities charge large customers for power: the energy rate per kWh, demand charges per kW and, more and more, special tariffs written for very large loads such as data centers.0 facts, 0 marketsOn request

Send us your list

The most common request is a list: a few hundred companies or sites with the fields a team needs, such as operational MW, MW under construction and the expected live date. We match every name to the database, fill each field with a source and a date, research what is missing, and return a gap list for anything that cannot be confirmed.

How the data is built

Primary sources. Planning and permit portals, utility and grid filings, regulators, company filings, releases and facility pages. Never data center directories, research publishers or press-release wires.
Quote and date on every value. The link, the exact words of the source and the date the value was true.
Checked twice. A second, independent check against the source before anything is stored.
History kept. Values are added, not overwritten, so every change can be traced.

Frequently asked questions
