SINGAPORE, Nov. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital Realty (NYSE: DLR), the largest global provider of cloud- and carrier-neutral data center, colocation and interconnection solutions, today announced the continued momentum in Asia Pacific of ServiceFabric™, its service orchestration platform that seamlessly interconnects workflow participants, applications, clouds and ecosystems on PlatformDIGITAL®, its global data center platform.
Over 30 Asia Pacific partners are now listed in Service Directory, a central marketplace that allows Digital Realty partners to highlight their offerings, extend their reach to global enterprises, and scale into new markets, reaching over 5,000 customers of Digital Realty. Globally, more than 220 services are now available on the Service Directory, including access to Digital Realty's Private AI Exchange (AIPx) partner solutions, where we continue to add new partners to the platform. Additionally, Digital Realty's secure and direct connections to nearly 250 global cloud on-ramps create a vibrant ecosystem for seamless interconnection and collaboration.
New Asia Pacific partners now available on Service Directory include StarHub, a leading telecommunications service provider in Singapore; KINX Inc. (Korea Internet Neutral eXchange) which operates the largest layer-2 based internet exchange in South Korea; and ARTERIA Networks, a leading enterprise-focused telecommunications carrier in Japan.
As enterprises in Asia Pacific look to deploy private AI applications which rely on low latency and the private exchange of data, an open interconnection and orchestration platform is critical. Through ServiceFabric™, customers are now able to easily find, access, and manage connectivity and digital solutions from service providers such as StarHub, KINX, and ARTERIA Networks. This open and collaborative environment empowers businesses to build and orchestrate their ideal solutions, scale confidently, and easily handle demanding workloads.
