Problem
Enterprises and service providers often struggle to find a data center environment that can scale rapidly, support high‑density workloads such as AI inference, and maintain strict uptime and compliance requirements across multiple regions. Traditional colocation contracts can be inflexible, leading to vendor lock‑in and prolonged deployment cycles. Inadequate interconnection options further limit the ability to build low‑latency, multi‑cloud architectures.
Solution
Digital Realty delivers a globally distributed data center platform—PlatformDIGITAL®—that provides on‑demand, scalable colocation combined with secure, high‑performance interconnection services. Customers can provision from single racks to private suites and purpose‑built high‑density AI pods, all backed by a network of 300+ facilities in 55+ metros and a documented 99.999% availability record. The platform integrates native cross‑connects, internet exchange points, and the ServiceFabric® connectivity fabric to enable seamless multi‑cloud and hybrid deployments. Sustainable building designs and comprehensive compliance certifications (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001) ensure that infrastructure meets both environmental and regulatory standards. A unified portal and API layer give users real‑time visibility into power, capacity, and network topology, reducing operational overhead and accelerating time‑to‑market.
Target Audience
The primary customers are large enterprises, hyperscale cloud providers, and technology‑intensive service providers that require reliable, high‑density infrastructure and low‑latency interconnection across multiple geographic markets.
