Digital Realty said it made ServiceFabric® Model Context Protocol (MCP) available as a programmable control layer for private AI infrastructure built on physical facilities. The company positioned MCP as an interface for connecting AI systems with infrastructure and enterprise services.
Digital Realty connected ServiceFabric MCP to AI Private Exchange (AIPx), which it described as the underlying architecture that includes policy and orchestration technology. The company said ServiceFabric MCP extends its global interconnection platform across more than 800 Digital Realty and third-party data centers.
ServiceFabric MCP was described as an emerging open standard that can enable AI systems and agents to interact securely with infrastructure, applications, and enterprise services through standardized interfaces. Digital Realty said the connections remain private at Layer 2 and Layer 3 with authentication and access controls, and that enterprises are not required to operate exclusively in Digital Realty facilities or commit to a single AI model.
Digital Realty said ServiceFabric MCP was built for deployment and management of private AI infrastructure, with capabilities across design and provisioning, discovery and telemetry, identity and security, and operations integration. “Our strategy is simple: provide the foundational infrastructure enterprises need for sustained AI workloads, while enabling flexible scale as demand grows. 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,” said Chris Sharp, Chief Technology Officer, Digital Realty. “Enterprise adoption of Private AI infrastructure has reached an inflection point. Production AI workloads now demand control over data movement, policy enforcement, and partner integration that public cloud APIs alone cannot deliver. Providers combining global footprint with programmable, agent-ready interconnection are well positioned to support this next wave of enterprise AI investment,” said Mary Johnston Turner, Research VP, IDC.
ServiceFabric MCP was described as being validated through internal deployments, enterprise AI environments, and partner ecosystem implementations, and it was made available for use on Digital Realty’s global platform.
