Data Center Map
I have just launched a new tool today, that will be useful for data center clients as well as data center operators. The site is called Data Center Map, and the idea is to index co-location data centers from all over the world and interact them with a map. I currently have about 550 data centers indexed at the moment from more than 30 different countries.
It would be great with some feedback on the site. Thanks. |
Thank you for your reply.
It's actually a very interesting question, and a relevant concern that a few datacenters have raised for me. For the data centers who do not want their location publicly available I have made it possible to be listed in a special way - see SpringNetl as an example. My personal theory is that it is more or less impossible to keep the address of a co-location datacenter 100% secret, specially if it is a big one. |
Hehe, yes that would be one way :) However, it's their own choise to be listed in that way - others have listed themselves with a 40 miles radius.

A cool idea, too bad it is only for co-location.
When I look at the domain, I'm thinking "Great! I'd love to see the data centers around me! It may provide contacts for future employment or peer networking opportunities!" When I get to the mainpage, at 1024x768, the only mention of co-location is in the small text at the bottom. I would have liked to add my data center to the site, but my data center is to support my corporate company, nothing else. |
I see your point, that kind of site would probably also be interesting - but it would be a totally different thing. I'll consider making it more clear on the mainpage that it's targted at the co-location industry - perhaps by changing the logo in some way.

Obviously we would consider facilities like 1and1's or Cerner's... and maaayyybbeee Yellow Freight's :D to be "real" datacenters (in the Kansas City area) but how do you qualify smaller ones. I think the site listing facilities offering colo is a great idea. The implementation is also very good. I've already submitted 5 or 6 local facilities, even competitors, to add to the data. Aaron |
