Digital Realty

Digital Realty is one of the largest data center platforms in the world, with capacity in nearly every market a business is likely to need, and its argument to the retail colocation buyer is the growth path. A company can start with a couple of cabinets, expand into a cage, and eventually take a private suite, in the same metro or a different one, without changing providers, contracts, or operating habits, and increasingly without changing anything as racks get denser and AI class hardware arrives. For multi location businesses consolidating scattered server rooms onto one platform, that continuity is genuinely valuable, and the company's interconnection fabric ties its campuses to clouds and carriers credibly even where it is not the densest meet point in town. The honest tradeoffs: with a footprint this large the experience varies more campus to campus than it does at boutique operators, so the specific building and its record belong in your diligence, and buyers whose requirement is purely exchange grade interconnection may find deeper ecosystems in the dedicated carrier hotels. Pricing runs per kilowatt or per cabinet by market and density, quote based, with real movement between metros on identical specifications, which rewards comparing your requirement city by city before committing.
