In 2004, Digital Realty was founded with a clear vision: to create the world's most comprehensive data center platform that could serve as the foundation for the digital age. From its origins as a real estate investment trust focused on data center properties, the company recognized early on that the explosion of data, cloud computing, and digital transformation would require a new kind of infrastructure - one that was global, secure, carrier-neutral, and built for the future. This insight led to the creation of PlatformDIGITAL®, a global data center platform designed to bring companies, technologies, and data together in ways that accelerate innovation and enable the AI workloads of tomorrow.
Today, Digital Realty operates 300+ data centers across 55+ metro areas on six continents, serving 5,000+ customers including enterprises, cloud providers, and network operators. The company delivers the full spectrum of data center, colocation, and interconnection solutions, maintaining 99.999% uptime while powering the world's most critical digital infrastructure. With headquarters in Dallas, Texas, and a presence in over 25 countries, Digital Realty has evolved from a data center operator into the trusted meeting place where data comes together to unlock new possibilities. The company continues to innovate with AI-ready infrastructure, sustainable data center design, and seamless connectivity that helps enterprises deploy faster, reduce risk, and transform infrastructure into a competitive advantage in an increasingly data-driven world.
