Digital Realty Trust Acquires Redevelopment Site in Suburban London

Digital Realty Trust to provide its customer-driven data centre solutions to meet strong local demand

LONDON, Aug. 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: DLR), a leading global provider of data centre solutions, announced today that it has acquired a redevelopment site in Chessington, England, approximately 17 miles southwest of central London and eight miles inside the M25.  The purchase price was 12.9 million pounds Sterling.  The building totals approximately 130,000 square feet and is capable of supporting five 1440kW Turn-Key Datacentre PODs, with total IT capacity of 8MW. 

"With our existing facilities nearly fully leased, this acquisition provides us with additional inventory to meet customer demand in London, a key market for financial services, corporate enterprise, telecommunication network providers, large system integrators and managed services companies," said Michael F. Foust, Chief Executive Officer for Digital Realty Trust.

"We are currently tracking approximately 30MW of demand in the greater London market, including a number of requirements of 6MW or more of contiguous space.  At this time, few facilities are capable of meeting these specifications," added Adam Levine, Vice President, Sales, for Digital Realty Trust.  "The acquisition of this site enables us to provide our customers, with both large and smaller requirements, a flexible data centre solution that can meet their needs.  Our Turn-Key Datacentres have a five-year track record of 99.999% uptime.  For our customers, this means they can focus on their operations, while we maintain and operate the supporting power and cooling systems for maximum resiliency."

Each Digital Realty Trust Turn-Key Datacentre facility is physically secure and features a state-of-the-art power and cooling architecture that has been optimized for green operation. Every Turn-Key Datacentre is built using the Company's proprietary POD Architecture® and uses metered power to ensure that clients pay only for the power that they use. The facility also comes standard with Digital Realty Trust's PowerVU software, which enables centralized monitoring and management of data centre power consumption, energy efficiency and load analysis.
