Based on sqft and MW capacity , North Virginia and Ashburn represent the largest data centre market in the world .
In fact , due to the concentration of data centres in the area , North Virginia and Ashburn are known as ‘ Data Centre Alley ’. This reputation is made even more impressive when considering the fact that America completely dominates the world ’ s data centre industry .
Ashburn , in particular , has a remarkably high proportion of hyperscale data centres ( meaning that what it lacks in numbers , it more than makes up for in size and capacity ).
Northern Virginia also hosts AWS ’ s largest cloud cluster and is home to some of the largest data centre operations for Meta , Google and Microsoft .
The presence of pioneering industry representatives – such as the North Virginia Tech Council – have helped fuel this market ’ s exceptional growth and keep the pace sustainable . datacentremagazine . com 145
