New data from Synergy Research Group shows that the number of large data centers operated by hyperscale providers increased to 504 at the end of the third quarter, having tripled since the beginning of 2013. According to the researcher, the EMEA and Asia-Pac regions continue to have the highest growth rates — though the US still accounts for almost 40% of the major cloud and internet data center sites. The next most popular locations are China, Japan, the UK, Germany and Australia, which collectively account for another 32% of the total.
