Hyperscale Cloud Providers in EMEA: Mapping the Data Centre Footprint
Cloud computing is a major driver of data centre demand across the EMEA region, powered by the rapid adoption of digital services, AI technologies, and enterprise cloud solutions. Leading this evolution are global hyperscale cloud providers such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle, and Alibaba Cloud, each of which has expanded significantly throughout Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
These providers operate through a network of availability zones — clusters of resilient, scalable data centres that enable low-latency cloud services for a range of industries. The development of such infrastructure often involves multi-million dollar investments, reflecting the critical role of cloud in regional digital transformation.
