IM3 Open Source Data Center Atlas Description This dataset contains locations of existing data center facilities in the United States. Data center locations were derived from OpenStreetMap (OSM), a crowd-sourced database. Data points from OSM are processed in various ways to determine additional variables provided in the data including: facility area (square feet), associated US county, and US state. This dataset can be used to identify areas of concentrated data center development and inform government and private sector planning strategies for future buildout of data centers and the infrastructure necessary to support it. Usage Notes Validation of OSM-derived data center locations is an ongoing development under the IM3 project, and the database will be updated as new information becomes available. In some instances, both the data center area (e.g., campus) and individual data center buildings are included as overlapping areas in the database. Both values are retained. Data center points, buildings, and campus areas are provided as separate layers in the downloadable data package. Note that data items are not necessarily complete across layers. That is, a specific data center may only be present as a single point geometry in the "point" layer while other data centers are represented in both the campus and building layers. In some cases, data center campuses and/or buildings straddle a county boundary line. Mappings to both counties are retained in the database as separate rows. These data rows will have the same data center id information, but each will have different county information. Crowd-sourced data, by nature, relies on individuals and communities to provide information. As a result, some data may be missing where it has not yet been reported. As we collect information on additional data center locations and as OSM receives additional contributions, the database will be updated to capture additional data points not yet shown. Technical Information Data is available for download under the following formats: GeoPackage (GPKG) CSV Geospatial data is provided in the WGS84 (EPSG:4326) coordinate reference system. The GeoPackage download contains the following layers. See usage notes for more information. "point" "building" "campus" The "point" layer includes all data from OSM that had POINT geometry type (i.e., individual coordinates). The "building" layer includes all OSM data that did not have POINT geometry and where the building tag in the OSM export was neither equal to "no" or null. Data that did not meet the "point" or "building" qualification was assumed to be a facility campus and included in the "campus" layer. The dataset contains the following parameters. Variables provided by OSM are labeled with (OSM-provided). id - unique identification number (OSM-provided with prefix of "node/", "relation/" and similar attributes removed) state - name of US state state_abb - two letter US state abbreviation state_id - state ID number county - name of US county county_id - county ID number ref - reference numbers or codes (OSM-provided) operator - the name of the company, corporation, or person in charge facility (OSM-provided) name - name of facility (OSM-provided) sqft - surface area of facility polygon, measured in square feet. Only available for "building" and "campus" layers lat - latitude of data centroid point lon - longitude of data centroid point type – represented spatial information. One of "point", "building", or "campus". geometry – POLYGON geometry of area footprint (in "campus" and "building" layers) or POINT geometry of locations (in "point" layer). This parameter is not included in the csv download. Attribution Data center locations were derived from OpenStreetMap, which is made available at openstreetmap.org under the Open Database License (ODbL). US state and county boundary information was collected from the US Census Bureau for the year 2024, which is made publicly available at https://www.census.gov/geographies/mapping-files.html Acknowledgment IM3 is a multi-institutional effort led by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and supported by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science as part of research in MultiSector Dynamics, Earth and Environmental Systems Modeling Program.

Data Center Server Rack Market Outlook

The global data center server rack market size was valued at approximately $4.8 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach around $8.5 billion by 2032, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5% during the forecast period. The primary growth driver for this market is the increasing demand for data centers due to the rising adoption of cloud computing, big data, and IoT technologies.

One of the key growth factors for the data center server rack market is the exponential growth of data generation worldwide. With the proliferation of connected devices and the advent of 5G technology, data traffic is expected to increase significantly over the coming years. This surge in data traffic necessitates the establishment of robust data centers equipped with advanced server racks that can handle massive volumes of data efficiently. Moreover, the ongoing digital transformation initiatives adopted by organizations across various sectors are further propelling the need for data centers and, consequently, server racks.

Another critical factor contributing to the market's growth is the increasing adoption of cloud computing solutions by enterprises of all sizes. Cloud service providers are investing heavily in expanding their data center infrastructure to cater to the growing demand for their services. These data centers require state-of-the-art server racks to ensure optimal performance, scalability, and efficiency. Additionally, the trend of edge computing, which involves processing data closer to the source of data generation, is also driving the demand for localized data centers equipped with high-performance server racks.

The rise in data center colocation services is also a significant driver for the server rack market. Colocation services allow businesses to rent space for their servers and other computing hardware in third-party data centers. This model provides cost-efficiency, scalability, and enhanced security, leading to an increase in the number of colocation data centers globally. As businesses continue to outsource their data storage and processing needs, the demand for server racks in these colocation facilities is expected to rise substantially.

Regionally, North America holds a dominant position in the data center server rack market, driven by the presence of numerous technology giants and a high level of digitalization across various industries. Europe and Asia Pacific are also significant markets, with Asia Pacific expected to witness the highest growth rate during the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to the rapid digital transformation, increasing internet penetration, and substantial investments in data center infrastructure in countries such as China, India, and Japan.

Server Cabinets are integral to the infrastructure of modern data centers, providing a secure and organized space for housing servers and networking equipment. These cabinets are designed to optimize space utilization and ensure efficient airflow, which is critical for maintaining the performance and longevity of IT equipment. As organizations increasingly rely on data-driven operations, the demand for server cabinets with advanced features such as integrated cooling and power management systems is growing. Server cabinets not only enhance the physical security of data centers but also contribute to improved energy efficiency and operational scalability, making them indispensable in today's digital landscape.

Rack Type Analysis

The data center server rack market is segmented by rack type into open frame racks, rack enclosures, and wall-mount racks. Open frame racks are widely adopted due to their cost-effectiveness and ease of access. These racks are typically used in environments where security is less of a concern, and airflow management is paramount. Open frame racks allow for excellent ventilation, which is critical for maintaining optimal operating temperatures for servers and other IT equipment. As data centers strive for energy efficiency, the demand for open frame racks is expected to remain robust.

Rack enclosures, also known as server cabinets, provide a more secure and organized solution compared to open frame racks. These enclosures offer enhanced physical security, better cable management, and improved airflow control through the use of fans and other cooling mechanisms. They are particularly popular in environments where security and aesthetics
