Every message you send, every photo you back up, every episode you stream spends part of its life inside a data center — a guarded building full of computers that never sleep. This map shows the 196 publicly known ones across 11 countries of Southeast Europe. Find yours below.

Here is the honest part: most of what you use daily — Google, Instagram, iCloud, Netflix — is not served from these local buildings. It comes from giant "hyperscale" data centers in Western Europe. This is how far your data really travels:
Times shown are the physical minimum for light in optical fiber (round trip). Your real ping is typically 1.5–3× higher because of routers, detours and your last-mile connection.
Dot size = number of facilities in that city. Tap a dot to see who runs what, with sources. Locations are shown at city level.
Think of it as an apartment building for computers. Companies rent a "flat" (a rack), the building provides electricity, cooling, security and a very fast connection to the world. Around here, they come in a few flavors:
Unique physical sites per country — plus what is being built right now and what is only announced on paper.
Almost everything on this map is small: telecom rooms and rented racks, single-digit megawatts. The first true hyperscale wave is landing in Athens right now — Microsoft is building its first Greek data center in Spata, DATA4's campus is under construction in Paiania, and announced Greek projects (like a ~300 MW campus at a former power plant in Kozani) would dwarf everything the rest of the region operates today, combined.
The largest disclosed operating facility in the ex-Yugoslav countries isn't run by a telecom or a Big Tech firm — it's Serbia's State Data Centre in Kragujevac (14 MW, with two new modules live since April 2026 and a planned expansion of ~56 MW). If you use Serbian e-government services, this is where your paperwork sleeps.
Big international directories list zero data centers in Montenegro, yet BEENET publicly operates its MNE-1 facility in Podgorica. Public data on this industry is genuinely incomplete — this map only shows what can be verified from public sources, and even that needed de-duplication (many "different" listings share one physical building).
