UK Data Centre Index separates physical facilities, providers, service locations and development projects to provide a clearer view of UK digital infrastructure.
UK Data Centre Index is an independent directory and information resource covering data-centre facilities, infrastructure providers and development activity across the United Kingdom.
The aim is to make fragmented industry information easier to discover, compare and understand. The index is being expanded in verified research batches rather than populated with unreviewed directory listings.
A facility record represents a named physical data-centre location supported by recorded evidence. A provider's website, sales area or colocation service page is not automatically counted as a separate physical facility.
A named physical data-centre building or location represented by its own record.
An organisation operating facilities or supplying relevant infrastructure services.
A site that may contain multiple separately named data-centre facilities.
A market or location where a company offers services, which may not represent a separately operated facility.
Proposed or developing infrastructure recorded separately from operational facilities.
Network infrastructure that is not automatically treated as a complete data-centre facility.
Potential records are collected from operator portfolios, specification sheets and other relevant sources.
Operator websites and official technical documents are preferred for names, locations, status and specifications.
Missing information is marked as not yet verified instead of being estimated.
Records retain their source links, verification status and last-checked date.
Batch records are checked for missing fields, invalid values, duplicate identifiers and unknown providers.
Counts shown throughout the site describe records currently held in the UK Data Centre Index. Until a location or provider has completed a full portfolio review, those figures should not be interpreted as the complete number operating in the wider market.
Published capacity totals include only facilities with a supported MW figure. Facilities without a published figure remain included in the facility count but contribute nothing to the displayed capacity total.
A location showing three indexed facilities may have additional facilities that have not yet completed the research and verification process.
Data-centre ownership, facility names, technical specifications and development status can change. Records will be reviewed and updated when reliable new evidence becomes available.
Corrections should preserve the evidence trail. Information should not be silently replaced with an unsupported value simply because another directory displays it.
