Full DCPI breakdown →DC Hub analyst read on Indianapolis — the market this facility sits in (full deep-dive →).
Indianapolis's data center market remains underdeveloped relative to tier-one hubs, with 43 tracked facilities totaling 610 MW across a fragmented operator base. DataBank leads with five facilities, while Netrality Data Centers, 365 Data Centers, and DataBank, Ltd. each operate two sites. AWS maintains a single facility presence.
