NRT14's planned next-generation infrastructure and Digital Realty's global open data center platform provide the foundational pillars our customers need to drive AI innovation across Asia Pacific."
Kohei Yamashita, Representative Director and Chief Executive Officer of MC Digital Realty, said: "We are pleased to announce the upcoming opening of NRT14, which will be our third facility at the NRT campus. The rapid adoption of generative AI and cloud services is driving significant demand for data centers with high-density power capacity, advanced cooling, and reliable operations. NRT14 represents an important step in accelerating next-generation AI infrastructure support. We will continue developing AI infrastructure not only in the Tokyo metropolitan area but across Japan while enhancing service quality to support our customers' digital transformation and innovation."
To further support sustainable operations and enable customers to decarbonize their IT infrastructure, the electricity used in NRT14's colocation data hall will be matched with 100% renewable energy through the purchase of non-fossil fuel certificates, consistent with our commitment across MC Digital Realty's existing data centers. The company remains committed to advancing initiatives that reduce environmental impact across all operations.
