The world's famous data centers, on one earth
100 famous sites and 25 estates (submarine cables, cloud backbones, national compute networks) from public sources. Spin the earth, open a site, pick an estate and cut a link, compare two sites, or drop a pin on your own data center.
Latency and what-ifs are estimates from public numbers (route = great circle × 1.5, 5 µs per km), not operators' routing. Base map: Natural Earth; photo earth: NASA Blue and Black Marble; cities: GeoNames.

The open dataset (CC BY 4.0) Your own estate on this earth: DC Sim
Which are the most famous data centers in the world?
This earth shows 100 of them, chosen for what they are known for: the largest hyperscale and AI campuses, record-efficient sites, supercomputers, internet exchanges and unusual locations such as mines and bunkers. Each has a page with its facts and sources.
How is the latency between two data centers estimated?
From the great-circle distance, multiplied by 1.5 for the real route of the fibre, at about 5 microseconds per kilometre one way. It is an estimate from public numbers, not a measured or operator figure.
What happens when you cut a link?
On an estate, cutting a link removes it from the network; sites with no other path are shown as isolated, and when a detour exists its estimated latency is shown. It shows the shape of the network as published, not the operator's real routing or protection.
Can I use the data?
Yes. The dataset is open under CC BY 4.0, as GeoJSON, CSV and DC Sim workbooks, with sources for every record.
