Digital Realty —
Global Data Centers & PlatformDIGITAL

Digital Realty operates one of the largest data center footprints in the world — 300+ facilities across 50+ metros spanning the Americas, EMEA, and APAC. For multinational enterprises, this scale means deploying consistent colocation infrastructure in every region under a single provider relationship, with standardized architecture, management tooling, and commercial terms across the entire global portfolio rather than managing separate colocation contracts in each geography.

PlatformDIGITAL is more than a data center portfolio — it is a global interconnection platform that enables workload placement, data exchange, and cloud connectivity across Digital Realty's entire footprint. Control Hub provides unified management, Data Hub enables governed data exchange, Network Hub delivers cloud and carrier connectivity, and ServiceFabric enables cross-ecosystem data movement. Together, these create a consistent architecture for deploying and scaling digital infrastructure globally.

Digital Realty serves the full spectrum of data center requirements — from individual cabinet retail colocation to multi-megawatt wholesale leasing to fully custom build-to-suit hyperscale campuses. This range means that as an enterprise's infrastructure footprint grows, they can expand within the same provider relationship without migrating to a different vendor — from a single cage to a full suite to a dedicated facility, all within PlatformDIGITAL.

Digital Realty provides physical and virtual cloud on-ramps to all three major hyperscalers — AWS Direct Connect, Microsoft Azure ExpressRoute, and Google Cloud Interconnect — across its global campus network. Cloud on-ramps are available in colocation facilities where enterprises already house their own infrastructure, enabling private, dedicated connectivity to hyperscalers without routing production traffic over the public internet and without co-locating in a separate carrier hotel.

ServiceFabric addresses a growing enterprise challenge — the need to share and exchange data with multiple partners, suppliers, and customers in a governed, secure way without the operational complexity of managing dozens of bilateral connections. As a managed data exchange fabric within PlatformDIGITAL, ServiceFabric enables multi-party data collaboration at the infrastructure level — relevant for financial services, healthcare, media, and supply chain-intensive industries where data movement between ecosystems is a core business function.
