Market Scorecards
Rank U.S. data center markets by power, fiber, AI readiness, cooling, and risk.
Each score combines structured market assumptions with live cooling and weather context when available. Use it as a quick signal, then open a market for details.
Market Map
Click a region to open its advanced infrastructure profile.
This map is intentionally schematic: it emphasizes market location, region role, and infrastructure signal rather than precise geography.
Where Should I Build?
Match a workload to the markets that fit it best.
Pick a workload and priority. The selector ranks markets by the signals that matter most for that use case.
AI Infrastructure Index
Markets most aligned with high-density AI compute.
The index favors markets with hyperscale activity, network density, power relevance, cooling context, and AI-ready infrastructure signals.
Live Market Pulse
Real-time cooling and weather signals for major data center regions.
Data center planning starts with power, fiber, land, and risk. This live layer adds operating context from current weather conditions in each market.

Facility Load Calculator
Estimate IT load, facility power, annual energy, and monthly power cost.
Model a data center from rack count, rack density, PUE, and electricity rate. This is useful for quickly understanding how fast small changes become megawatts.
Infrastructure Risk Pulse
Active weather alerts, cooling pressure, and operating risk by market.
This layer combines live weather conditions with National Weather Service alerts to show which regions may need closer operational attention.

Power And Grid Intelligence
Regional grid context and estimated facility load scenarios.
Data center growth is constrained by power availability. This module maps each market to its grid region, compares regional demand, and estimates facility load scenarios when exact operator-level consumption is not public.
Network Pulse
Internet health, outage, and security signals for infrastructure buyers.
Cloudflare Radar can add traffic, attack, DNS, outage, and BGP anomaly trends. Until an API token or server proxy is configured, this panel summarizes the network role of each market and tracks readiness.

Data Center Glossary
Plain-English definitions for infrastructure planning.
Planning Tool
Get a quick infrastructure starting point.
Pick a workload and scale. The planner estimates a practical starting architecture and highlights the main risk to validate before spending money.
Intelligence Feed
Data center market updates and infrastructure signals.
This feed is for data center, cloud, power, network, and infrastructure market intelligence. It uses live RSS data when the refresh job is running.
FAQ
Data center and infrastructure questions.
What is colocation?
Colocation lets a business place its own equipment inside a third-party data center instead of operating the building itself.
Why does AI change data center demand?
AI workloads can require high-density GPU racks, more power, advanced cooling, resilient connectivity, and stronger operational planning.
What makes a good data center location?
Power availability, fiber, land, latency, cooling, disaster risk, tax incentives, labor access, and expansion capacity all matter.
