Digital Realty는 AI 기반 컬로케이션 수요 급증에 대응하기 위해 싱가포르 캠퍼스 규모를 확대하고 있다.

Digital Realty (DLR) is strengthening its presence in Singapore after being selected under the country’s second Data Center Call for Application. The company received a provisional allocation of 50 megawatts of capacity to develop a new data center at Jurong Town Corporation’s low-carbon data center park on Jurong Island. The planned facility will expand Digital Realty’s Singapore platform with AI-ready and sustainability-focused infrastructure.

Singapore has been a key market for Digital Realty since 2010 and currently houses its regional headquarters, Global Command Center, and three operational data centers with roughly 84 MW of combined capacity. The Jurong Island project will become the company’s fourth data center in the country. Once operational, the new facility will enhance Digital Realty’s ability to support rising demand for artificial intelligence inference, high-performance computing, and enterprise digital workloads across the Asia-Pacific region.

Growing adoption of cloud services, digital platforms, and enterprise data processing is driving demand for additional digital infrastructure. Artificial intelligence is accelerating this momentum as enterprises increasingly require infrastructure located closer to users and corporate data. Once live, the new data center will connect customers with Digital Realty’s global PlatformDIGITAL ecosystem and expand its interconnected Singapore campus through ServiceFabric, supporting connectivity and workload deployment across multiple sites.

Digital Realty appears well positioned to benefit from the continued expansion of AI, cloud computing, and enterprise digital workloads. The planned addition of 50 MW of capacity in Singapore strengthens its presence in a strategically important Asia-Pacific market. The company’s established Singapore operations, global PlatformDIGITAL ecosystem, and expanding interconnected campus reinforce its competitive position, supporting long-term growth opportunities.
