Digital Realty expanded its DRIL network into Singapore, Japan and the United Kingdom to provide regional environments where customers and partners could test and optimize infrastructure for Artificial Intelligence (AI) and hybrid cloud deployments.

The company said this move followed the inaugural DRIL in Northern Virginia, which opened in September 2025, and that the three new sites were expected to be available for use by customers and partners this year. The announcement cited national data on AI activity and public investment in Singapore, Japan and the UK.

Technical capabilities described for the new locations included ServiceFabric®, Digital Realty’s global interconnection and orchestration platform, and the company’s Pervasive Datacenter Architecture (PDx®) methodology. The Japan DRIL was to be sited at the NRT12 data center and to feature 20 racks with Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC) to support high-power-density workloads.

The facilities were to offer fully supported, real-world testing environments where participants could bring their own workloads or use pre-configured infrastructure to validate AI and hybrid cloud deployments before scaling. The DRIL network was described as supporting high-density AI and High performance computing (HPC) testing up to 150kW per cabinet, energy and cooling-aware testing, hybrid cloud validation via ServiceFabric®, and workload orchestration through the Private AI Exchange (AIPx).

“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. “European AI adoption is expected to grow rapidly, and London sits at the center of that growth,” said Séamus Dunne, Managing Director, UK & Ireland, Digital Realty.

All three locations were expected to be available for use by customers and partners this year.
