What this is
A single, deduplicated inventory of 8,645 data-center and network facilities across 161 countries — blended from OpenStreetMap, PeeringDB, Wikidata and operator disclosures. Every non-trivial value carries the URL it came from. Nothing is un-sourced; nothing is estimated.
6,981 are true data centers (81%); the rest are network POPs and cloud on-ramps, separated by a dedicated classifier. 3,515 carry a mapped building footprint, and 303 have a measured IT-load in MW — together 15.6 GW of disclosed critical power.
