Digital Realty

Digital Realty is a global data-center real estate investment trust that builds and operates hyperscale and colocation facilities for cloud providers, enterprises, and AI operators. It provides the large-footprint, high-power capacity that AI training clusters require, and its PlatformDIGITAL and interconnection services connect customers across a worldwide portfolio.

Founded in 2004, Digital Realty grew into one of the largest data-center owners in the world, serving hyperscalers with build-to-suit capacity and enterprises with colocation and interconnection. It operates as a REIT with a global footprint spanning the Americas, EMEA, and Asia-Pacific.

AI demand has pushed the industry toward higher power densities, liquid cooling, and gigawatt-scale campuses, and Digital Realty has oriented development toward supporting GPU-heavy deployments while managing the power and land constraints that increasingly gate the sector. Its scale gives large customers a single global partner.

The company's ServiceFabric and interconnection products, along with its joint ventures to fund capital-intensive expansion, position it alongside Equinix and a wave of AI-focused developers competing to supply the physical capacity underpinning the AI buildout.
