Every market has different constraints.
Export treatment, import routes, power economics and residency rules change at every border. These pages cover what is actually different about sourcing into each market.
United States
The deepest verified stock pool and the fastest lead times, with power now the binding constraint.
Europe
EU-located stock with no import event for EU buyers, VAT handled properly, and Nordic power economics.
Middle East & North Africa
The fastest AI buildout on earth, where end-user verification decides whether hardware clears.
Asia Pacific
Five markets, five rulebooks. Destination screening comes first across Singapore, Japan, Korea and India.
Australia
Capacity running ahead of committed demand, import and GST handled, offshore placement priced alongside.
United Kingdom
Post-Brexit import, west London grid constraints and northern alternatives.
Germany
Frankfurt interconnection density, EU import position and efficiency rules.
Netherlands
Amsterdam connectivity against planning-constrained growth.
France
Low-carbon nuclear baseload and sovereignty expectations that arrive early.
Canada
Hydro power and cold-climate cooling, with residency where it binds.
Japan
National AI investment against seismic engineering and power costs.
Singapore
Capacity allocated rather than built, and the regional alternatives.
India
Steep demand growth and an import regime that rewards preparation.
Spain
Renewable generation and room to build, without northern connection queues.
Ireland
EU jurisdiction with a grid that reached its limit.
Italy
Milan's growth and Mediterranean subsea position across three continents.
Philippines
Strong demand, constrained AI-ready supply, and an honest comparison against offshore placement.
Additional markets.
Markets where the constraints are genuinely different and the supplier coverage is often thinner than the demand warrants.
Sweden and the Nordics
Cheap low-carbon power and free cooling, with EU jurisdiction and no connection queue.
Switzerland
Jurisdictional stability and strong data protection, outside the EU customs union.
Poland
EU jurisdiction and central European connectivity at materially lower cost.
South Korea
Deep semiconductor expertise and exceptional connectivity, with a tight capital region.
Brazil
Latin America's largest market, hydro-dominated power and a demanding import regime.
Chile
Exceptional solar resource, regulatory stability and Pacific subsea landings.
Indonesia
Southeast Asia's largest digital economy, with localisation rules that shape the design.
Turkey
A genuine bridge between three regions, and an underserved supplier market.
Capacity by city.
Deployment constraints are metro-level, not national. Power, cooling and connectivity differ sharply between cities in the same country, so these pages cover what is actually true where the racks go.
The residency split.
Residency and latency genuinely bind some workloads and merely haunt others. The desk asks before it prices.
Does the workload actually have to live there, and what it costs if it does
Asked first, answered straight.
Across North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia Pacific, with the practical constraint being the export and import path to your specific destination rather than the hardware itself.
Yes, materially. Duties, import VAT, freight, power cost and local facility pricing all vary by jurisdiction, which is why landed cost rather than hardware cost is the only fair comparison between regions.
Start from the constraints that cannot be traded: data residency, latency to your users, and available power. Price the shortlist that survives those, rather than starting from a price table.
