Digital Realty expanded its DRIL network into Singapore and Japan to provide real-world environments where customers and partners could test and optimize next-generation infrastructure.

This expansion marked the first extension of the global DRIL network into Asia Pacific after the inaugural DRIL opened in Northern Virginia in September 2025 and received over 120 visits from enterprise customers. The release also referenced that Singapore’s digital economy accounted for 18.6% of GDP and that Japan planned to invest 10 trillion yen or more in semiconductor and Artificial Intelligence (AI) sectors by 2030.

The new DRIL locations were described as fully supported testing environments where organizations could bring their own workloads or use pre-configured infrastructure to validate AI and hybrid cloud deployments before scaling live. The facilities were said to connect through ServiceFabric®, apply the company’s PDx® methodology, and support orchestration via the Private AI Exchange (AIPx).

The Singapore DRIL was designed as a local hub to bring customers, partners, and research institutions together with global technology providers. The Japan DRIL was planned at Digital Realty’s NRT12 data center in the Greater Tokyo area, designed for AI and High performance computing (HPC) use cases and to include 20 racks with Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC) to support high-power-density workloads; the global DRIL network was noted to include partners such as AMD, Cisco, and Lenovo.

“Sustaining rapidly expanding digital economies requires innovation ecosystems built on infrastructure that is not only AI-ready, but also efficient, resilient, and trusted,” said Serene Nah, Managing Director and Head of Asia Pacific, Digital Realty.

The release said both DRIL locations were expected to be available for use by customers and partners this year.
