INSIDE DIGITAL REALTY ' S BLUEPRINT FOR AI-READY INFRASTRUCTURE IN ASIA PACIFIC
igital Realty is the world’ s largest cloud-
D and carrier-neutral data centre platform, operating more than 300 data centres across 55 + metros in over 30 countries on six continents, serving 6,000 + customers on its global data centre platform, PlatformDIGITAL ®. That scale has given the company valuable experience structuring partnerships with utility providers and local governments to source renewable energy and carbon offset projects across jurisdictions worldwide – sustainability sits at the centre of its strategy, built on building, powering and operating better, more sustainable data centres.
Its growing footprint in Asia Pacific, where it now marks 16 years of regional presence, reflects the same strategy in its most active phase yet.

and Jakarta, tying one of the region ' s fastest-growing digital markets into a single connected infrastructure layer.
Infrastructure quality will define the next phase of AI
Asia ' s AI future will be built as a connected ecosystem
Rather than competing in isolation, markets across Asia Pacific will increasingly play complementary roles based on connectivity, regulation, infrastructure-readiness and customer demand. Digital Realty ' s own footprint is starting to mirror that logic, particularly with the launch of its Malaysia platform in June, anchored in Cyberjaya and integrated into PlatformDIGITAL ® and ServiceFabric ®, its global interconnection and orchestration platform. The move extends the company ' s Southeast Asia presence alongside Singapore
As organisations move AI into production, trusted, resilient and highly connected infrastructure becomes essential for delivering performance, governance and long-term scalability. That ' s what makes Digital Realty ' s nearly S $ 7 billion investment target in Singapore significant beyond its size – pairing more than S $ 4.3 billion in new data centre development with workforce growth towards 400 employees by 2030 and a new Innovation Lab which will be opening in the second half of this year, positioning the country as the region ' s hub for enterprise AI moving from pilot to production.
Digital Realty is enabling the next phase of AI across Asia Pacific
Japan tells a similar story at the infrastructure level. The recent opening of NRT14, the third facility at Digital Realty ' s Inzai City campus, brings a high-power, high-density environment built specifically for next-generation GPUs, with hybrid liquid and air cooling capable of supporting workloads up to 150kW per rack. It ' s one of the first facilities in the country to achieve DGX- Ready certification – a concrete answer to the rapidly diversifying demand for AI infrastructure across the Tokyo metropolitan area.
Together, these developments show a company scaling deliberately rather than opportunistically; expanding where connectivity and readiness already exist, investing ahead of demand in strategic hubs and building the physical infrastructure that production-scale AI requires.
