Digital Realty Offers a Full Menu of Tenants’ Data Center Needs as It Focuses on Small Deployments

Digital Realty has transformed its business from one that merely provided large companies vast amounts of space and power (a typical wholesale data center that houses few tenants) to one that can offer customers of all sizes the full spectrum of space, power, and connection needs (historically called a co-location data center that has space for many tenants). This positions it well to benefit from three trends that we expect to continue growing: creation and use of data, which is only exacerbated by artificial intelligence; the need for that data to be connected; and reliance on cloud providers.
