    Germany only 521? Seems a bit low.

    What counts as a “data center”? How many rooms and how many racks does it need to have?

      I believe it needs to be a building that is only dedicated to servers.

      Not an office building or factory with a server room attached.

        In 2020 there have been around 3000 data centers in Germany. Sounds more plausible to me.
