Data Centers in Virginia
418 Facilities Tracked

Virginia has 103 active data center operators tracked in this directory, across 418 verified facilities in total. AWS operates 131 of those facilities, more than any other operator tracked here. Beyond the headline leader, Equinix (21) and Microsoft (20) maintain meaningful state-level presence and run distinct facility footprints by city and market segment. The remaining operators run smaller verified footprints across the state's tracked cities. Across the state, operator footprints span 70 cities, ranging from hyperscale campuses to carrier-neutral colocation and enterprise build-to-suit sites, with the largest concentrations in the cities listed below. Operator counts here measure each company's full in-state footprint; city totals elsewhere on the page count every operator's facilities inside that city, so the two metrics use different denominators by design.

The Northern Virginia region (Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV MSA) clusters 287 of Virginia's data center facilities across 11 cities, anchoring the state's hyperscale and colocation footprint. The metro concentrates the bulk of the state's data center capacity, drawing operator demand from fiber convergence, power availability, and regional siting incentives that compound across each major hyperscale and colocation deployment. Because hyperscale operators plan capacity at the metro level rather than by city or state line, the MSA view often reflects siting and expansion decisions more accurately than any single municipal boundary. Each metro hub aggregates facility data across multiple cities within a single MSA.

Data center facilities in Virginia are distributed across 70 cities. Ashburn has the most verified facilities in the state (77), followed by Sterling (76) and Manassas (51), which carry the next-largest counts. Per-city facility counts and operator breakdowns appear in the city table below, with each market's verified facility list, operator attribution, and source-tier data accessible in the directory section. Every city-level count shown here is derived from the same verified, de-duplicated facility records as the statewide total, so the figures reconcile from the state number down to each individual market. A reader can cite any single city's count and trace it back to the published source list without it conflicting with the Virginia total.

Virginia's data center market does not operate in isolation. Adjacent states including District of Columbia, Kentucky, Maryland, North Carolina share long-haul fiber routes, regional power interconnects, and multi-state operator portfolios with the facilities tracked across Virginia, so capacity and siting decisions in one market routinely shape the next. The related-state directories below let researchers benchmark facility density, operator concentration, and metro distribution against these neighboring markets, and trace how the operators with the heaviest Virginia presence extend their footprints across the surrounding region. Comparing Virginia against its neighbors this way also shows at a glance whether the state anchors its regional data center cluster or ranks behind a larger adjacent market.

Common questions about data centers in Virginia, answered using verified data from ITAMG's multi-source directory of 418 facilities.

Every facility on this page has been compiled from the directory's 15 source datasets, including operator filings, regulatory disclosures, and industry databases, and cross-checked where more than one source reports it. ITAMG matches records by name, address, geographic coordinates, and operator identity, then collapses duplicates into a single canonical entry. Where a facility hosts multiple providers, the Index reports the facility operator, which may differ from a provider named in the facility's name. A facility appears here only when two conditions hold. First, the building must be locatable on a map by either coordinates or a verified street address. Second, the record must describe an actual data center, not a colocation reseller, a telco hub, or a paper-only mention in a financial filing. Records that fail either test are excluded.
