Digital Realty secures NVIDIA DGX-Ready certification for NRT14

Digital Realty’s NRT14 data center in the Greater Tokyo area achieved NVIDIA DGX-Ready Data Center certification, a development the company presented as reinforcing its role as an Artificial Intelligence (AI) infrastructure partner for organizations scaling next‑generation, high‑density workloads across the region.

Digital Realty operated certified sites in more than 20 countries worldwide, including six across Asia Pacific, and described the NRT14 certification as an extension of its collaboration with NVIDIA following the announcement of an NVIDIA AI Factory Research Center hosted at Digital Realty’s Northern Virginia campus.

NRT14 was certified under the NVIDIA DGX-Ready Data Center program to host NVIDIA DGX GB200 infrastructure and NVL72-based systems powered by the NVIDIA Grace Blackwell architecture; the certification confirmed the site met NVIDIA criteria to support high‑density AI workloads of 100 kW or more per rack, and NVIDIA said liquid‑cooled Blackwell architectures could deliver up to 25 times greater energy efficiency than traditional air‑cooled systems.

MC Digital Realty, the 50/50 joint venture between Mitsubishi Corporation and Digital Realty, secured the certification for NRT14; the release stated that hosting NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs at the site would enable customers to run next‑generation AI workloads with greater speed and efficiency and that enterprises would achieve faster time‑to‑insight, reduced operational costs, and improved performance for demanding AI and analytics workloads.

“Achieving this certification underscores Digital Realty’s ability to deliver liquid cooling for the next generation of AI-ready infrastructure,” said Chris Sharp, Chief Technology Officer, Digital Realty. “Demanding AI reasoning workloads require a new class of high-density, energy-efficient infrastructure to power the global wave of AI-driven transformation,” said Charlie Boyle, Vice President, DGX Systems, NVIDIA.

“As AI adoption accelerates globally, Asia Pacific is emerging as the epicenter of global digital transformation. This certification strengthens our AI-ready footprint in Japan and across the region, underscoring our commitment to building resilient, low-carbon infrastructure that supports customers’ high performance computing needs and regional sustainability goals,” said Serene Nah, Managing Director and Head of Asia Pacific, Digital Realty. The release noted forward-looking statements and referred readers to company filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for a list of risks and uncertainties.
