Digital Realty Trust (Digital Realty Trust) Business Description
Digital Realty owns and operates over 300 data centers worldwide. It has nearly 40 million rentable square feet across five continents.

In recent years, Digital Realty has de-emphasized cold shells and now primarily provides higher-level service to tenants, which outsource their related IT needs to Digital. Digital Realty has also moved more into the co-location business, increasingly serving enterprises and facilitating network and cloud connections. Digital Realty operates as a real estate investment trust.
