Digital Realty owns arguably the largest data center footprint in the world with more than 300 facilities across 25 countries on six continents, along with more than 45 million square feet of data center space.

What is the largest Data Center in the world? After this extensive analysis, the world's largest and most expensive data center is the China Telecom-Inner Mongolia Information Park. The Asian country is also the world's largest reference for data processing centers, followed by the United States.

Why are data centers so keen to locate in Northern Virginia? Historically the draws were the fiber-optic network in Northern Virginia, proximity to Washington, D.C., relatively low-cost energy and a concerted early effort on the part of Loudoun County to make locating here as easy as possible.

“There are data centers located in other areas of Virginia, but roughly 80% of the industry is located in Loudoun County,” Dominion wrote in a recent long-term plan submitted to state regulators.

The two companies were applying to rezone the land to allow for data centers. Supervisors voted 4-3 in favor of the project, representing the next step in the multi-million sq ft project. Supervisors Wheeler, Bailey, Franklin, and Angry voted in favor; Supervisors Weir, Lawson, and Vega voted against.

Prince William County is on track to become the new data center capital of the world, surpassing the current capital, Loudoun County, to the north. Indeed, if all the data centers in progress in Prince William are added to those already built, the county could end up with twice as much data center space as Loudoun.
