Digital Realty Vendor Profile for AI Data Center Buyers

Use this profile to assess Digital Realty fit for high-density colocation, interconnection, and AI infrastructure procurement.

By Simon Jester, Editor

Simon Jester is GigaCapacity's editor covering AI infrastructure capacity, data center power, cooling, and provider selection.

What does Digital Realty do for AI data center buyers?

Digital Realty is a global data center platform evaluated for high-density colocation, interconnection, and larger hyperscale development context. Public source records support Digital Realty's high-density colocation and hyperscale capital evidence, but buyers should verify the exact campus or facility before relying on any platform-level claim.

When should buyers include Digital Realty in a shortlist?

Include Digital Realty when broad metro reach, cloud on-ramps, interconnection, and high-density colocation are part of the procurement problem. For AI workloads, the practical question is whether a specific site can support the required power density, cooling method, network path, expansion plan, and delivery date.

What should buyers verify before a vendor call?

Ask for the target site, available power, supported cabinet density, cooling approach, ServiceFabric or other connectivity details, cross-connect pricing, delivery windows, and any capital or build-to-suit structure that changes buyer obligations.
