How this measure is built
- Definition
- Total number of operational hyperscale data centers operated worldwide by major cloud and internet service firms.
- Measure
- One slice of Data centers ( counting rule: operational, form: count, segment: hyperscale ) . The number of specialized facilities housing IT infrastructure and operations. Region and period are columns on every record, not slices.
- Limitations
- Values are shown as published; StatOrigin does not revise, fill gaps or convert currencies.
- Verification
- Each value, unit, period and place was checked against its source evidence before publication. See the methodology and the corrections process.
