A hub is a town with at least 5 facilities, with its close neighbours. Facilities in smaller towns are not listed here, so the hubs do not add up to the country total.

Sorted by disclosed IT load, then networks present. A row opens the full, source-linked record on the map. No PUE is disclosed for any of these sites, so the column is hidden.
Disclosed IT load by state / region
| State / region | MW | Figures |
|---|---|---|
| Valparaíso | 5 | 1 |
Disclosed values only, campus figures counted once. Regions are assigned from each facility's coordinates (Natural Earth admin-1), so the rows add up to the national total.
