Microsoft added 24 data centers across five continents during the quarter as it expanded infrastructure.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said on the earnings call that the company added 24 data centers across five continents during the quarter. The call report attributes the additions to accelerating demand.

A longer summary describes Microsoft’s infrastructure approach as a “fungible fleet” and says the company increased data-center and Copilot-workload throughput. The supplied summary gives no numerical throughput improvement or detailed explanation of the fleet architecture.

Nadella also described continued expansion of systems from NVIDIA and AMD, alongside Microsoft’s own Maia 200 and Maia 300 systems. The 24-data-center figure is a facility count: the sources do not translate it into megawatts, GPU counts, rack counts, or available customer capacity.
