Digital Realty

Digital Realty (DLR) is a real estate investment trust (REIT) and the largest wholesale data center provider in the world. The company has grown to over 210 locations across five continents after going public in 2004; leveraging economies of scale to measurably benefit customers. Digital Realty delivers colocation, powered shell, private suite, and custom data center solutions. In addition, Digital Realty is focused on delivering relevant services to their clients such as move-in ready racks and cabinets in certain locations. The company is also focused on providing services surrounding connectivity to the Internet and cloud providers at multiple locations. Part of Digital Realty's growth can be attributed to two sizable acquisitions. The first was the purchase of Telx in July 2015 for $1.89 billion. The Telx acquisition expanded and expedited Digital Realty's ability to provide integrated services for SMB-to-enterprise customers. Additionally, Digital Realty purchased DuPont Fabros in September 2017 for nearly $8 billion, adding 12 wholesale data centers to Digital Realty's portfolio. Digital Realty employs nearly 1500 people and is headquartered in Austin, TX.
