Digital Realty owns and operates nearly 300 data centers worldwide. It has more than 35 million rentable square feet across five continents. Digital's offerings range from retail co-location, where an enterprise may rent a single cabinet and rely on Digital to provide all the accommodations, to cold shells, where hyperscale cloud service providers can simply rent much, or all, of a barren, power-connected building.
