Digital Realty launches ServiceFabric multi-cloud platform for unified AI data center orchestration and control across on-premises, cloud, and edge.

Digital Realty has announced the availability of ServiceFabric Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open protocol designed to make infrastructure programmable for Private AI environments across more than 800 data centers globally. The launch introduces AI-native programmable controls focused on physical infrastructure requirements such as power density, advanced cooling, and sovereign placement. This initiative is part of Digital Realty's broader Foundation for AI strategy, aimed at enabling enterprise AI at a global scale.

ServiceFabric MCP is built upon the AI Private Exchange (AIPx) architecture, which utilizes patented policy and orchestration technology. The protocol allows AI systems and agents to securely interact with infrastructure and enterprise services through standardized interfaces. By extending the global platform, Digital Realty aims to provide a programmable foundation for deploying and managing enterprise AI infrastructure, supporting connections across distributed environments including public cloud, network service providers, and colocation facilities.

The solution delivers an AI-native control surface across four primary capability areas. Design and provisioning enables intent-based connectivity design, provisioning, and API access through MCP. Discovery and telemetry allows real-time capacity, topology, and inventory discovery, plus live network telemetry signals covering throughput, latency, and link health. Identity and security enables identity and access control via OAuth 2, with programmable controls over network connectivity. Operations integration allows agent-assisted diagnostics and troubleshooting, with integration hooks for Slack, Microsoft Teams, Splunk, and Datadog.

The solution is currently being validated across internal deployments, enterprise AI environments, and partner ecosystem implementations. Digital Realty is operating ServiceFabric MCP and AIPx within its own infrastructure environments to validate and orchestrate AI workloads. Insights from these internal deployments are informing customer implementations.

Digital Realty has launched AI solutions with partners including ePlus, Lenovo, and Dell, built on infrastructure powered by technologies from NVIDIA and AMD. Connections remain private, operating at Layer 2 and Layer 3 with strong authentication and access controls. Enterprises are not required to operate exclusively in Digital Realty facilities or commit to a single AI model.

"Our strategy is simple: provide the foundational infrastructure enterprises need for sustained AI workloads, while enabling flexible scale as demand grows," said Chris Sharp, Chief Technology Officer at Digital Realty. "ServiceFabric MCP extends the foundation of AIPx with programmable controls and agent-ready interfaces, and our patent position reflects the long-term investment we've made in this architecture."
