Headquarters: Austin, Texas

Digital Realty is ready for the road ahead. It unveiled a sustainability initiative in 2022, buying power purchase agreements from French energy company Engie that provide access to renewable energy sources in Europe.

The company has massively expanded its global data center footprint to 45 million square feet in more than 280 facilities across 26 countries on six continents. It also holds another 840 acres in land in 27 “developable” parcels. Digital Realty last year unveiled plans to become the leading colocation and interconnection provider in Africa by investing $3.5 billion to acquire a majority stake in Africa’s largest data center provider, Teraco.
