Overview
Google Earth plus Wayback Machine, for compute.
Earth Compute indexes every data centre, cloud region, GPU cluster, subsea cable and exchange point we can verify — and shows how each one has changed over time. Scan, map, compare, track, connect.

Why now
Global compute still lacks its shared intelligence layer.
AI demand
Training and inference workloads are doubling roughly every six months.
GPU scarcity
Accelerator supply is concentrated in a handful of hyperscalers and hyperscaler-adjacent buyers.
Fragmented supply
Thousands of regional operators hold real capacity that never reaches the buyer.
Cost pressure
Compute is the largest variable line item for every AI-native company.
Sovereignty
Governments demand jurisdiction-aware placement of critical workloads.
Underused capacity
A meaningful share of installed capacity worldwide is idle at any given moment.
Global compute still lacks its shared intelligence layer.
Global scale
Operating scale, not marketing scale.

About
A civilian utility for planetary compute.
Earth Compute is built by OwnX. The base map and open API are free forever. Commercial overlays fund development. Sensitive military and classified sites are excluded by policy. Every data point resolves to a verifiable source.
