Digital Realty announced the introduction of its data center innovation lab (DRIL), located within a live colocation data center at its Northern Virginia campus. The DRIL offers partners and customers a fully supported, real-world testing environment to validate AI and hybrid cloud deployments before scaling.
This lab eliminates guesswork by allowing businesses to test performance, optimize configurations, and seamlessly connect to cloud and network providers via ServiceFabricĀ®, Digital Realty's global interconnection and orchestration platform. It provides a high-density environment for real-time, data-driven insights.
The DRIL builds on the AI Experience Center launched in 2024 and involves collaborations with key partners such as AMD, Cisco, Lenovo, and Supermicro. This initiative is designed to help enterprises stay agile, reduce risk, and accelerate their journey from proof of concept to full production for AI-powered solutions, with plans to roll out to other global locations like London in early 2026.
