More data centers, more locations
Of nearly 60 IBM Cloud data centers around the world, 33 are dedicated to your IBM Cloud Platform workloads. Each IBM Cloud data center across North and South America, Europe, Asia and Australia is connected to the IBM global private network — making data transfers faster and more efficient everywhere. And all of the IBM Cloud data centers are designed to exceed industry standards.

Standardized, best-practices-based facilities
Each IBM Cloud data center features one or more pods, supporting up to 5,000 servers. Space, power, network, personnel and internal infrastructure are optimized across all locations.
Redundant, best-in-class infrastructure
Built with industry-leading hardware and equipment, and outfitted with multiple power feeds, fiber links, dedicated generators and battery backup. Redundant n+1 power and cooling resources are regularly inspected to guarantee stability.
Better power, bandwidth, and server support
IBM Cloud servers feature high-bandwidth racks with ample power, simplified system deployment and faster issue resolution. Each rack has 40 Gbps of connectivity — 20 Gbps to the private network, 20 Gbps to the public network.
IBM Cloud federal data centers
Cloud infrastructure built to government specs
When you’re a US government agency, your servers, data center facilities and networks must adhere to strict regulations. IBM Cloud provides cloud infrastructure and government compliance that meets these unique requirements.
- Reserved for government workloads only
- Built to meet FedRAMP and FISMA privacy and security standards
- Highly secured with a shared capacity for 30,000 servers
- Connected to each other through an independent, high-speed private network
IBM Cloud public regions
Focus on your app, not the infrastructure hosting it
Develop your apps in a cloud without borders, then connect your dedicated services to the public services available on the IBM Cloud. Deploy your apps to different regions for latency or security consideration, with the option to deploy to one region or across multiple regions.
- Build and extend web and mobile apps
- Processing power to deliver continuous application changes
- Fit-for-purpose programming models and services
- Manageability of services and apps
- Optimized and elastic workloads
