Which Cloud Companies Have the Most Data Centers? And Who’s Quickly Encroaching?
The Big 3 U.S. public cloud providers have the most data centers worldwide, but the Chinese hyperscalers are expanding faster.
New findings from Synergy Research Group show that Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud each have 60 or more data centers. At least three of those are located in four key regions: North America, APAC, EMEA and Latin America.
These companies, along with Facebook, also boast the most data center capacity, according to “Pipeline of Over 300 New Hyperscale Data Centers Drives Healthy Growth Forecasts.”
However, ByteDance, Alibaba and Tencent are growing the fastest, Synergy says.
“The future looks bright for hyperscale operators, with double-digit annual growth in total revenues supported in large part by cloud revenues that will be growing in the 20-30% per year range,” said John Dinsdale, a chief analyst at Synergy Research. “This in turn will drive strong growth in capex generally and in data center spending specifically.”
Within three years, the hyperscalers will surpass 1,000 data centers across the world, the firm projects. Find out on the next slide where that growth will happen.
