#  Global locations of edge servers

Locations of WordPress VIP’s network of edge servers span the globe to efficiently
store and serve content closest to an end user.

To observe the global edge servers operating in real-time, refer to an [interactive map](https://ac-map.automattic.com/?s=vipgo)
of WordPress VIP’s data centers. Select then hover over areas of the map to access
request data for the data centers represented by an abbreviations for the city of
each location. The table below provides a reference for all data center locations
and their abbreviations.

Data center abbreviations also appear in the `x-rq` [HTTP response header value for requests made to a site](https://docs.wpvip.com/infrastructure/http-headers/)

443` indicates that the response was served by the data center in San Jose (`sjc`),
California in the United States.
