Enterprise AI just got a turnkey upgrade. Digital Realty (NYSE: DLR), a global leader in carrier-neutral data centers and interconnection solutions, has announced a strategic collaboration with Dell Technologies and DXC Technology aimed at helping organizations deploy AI at scale—securely, efficiently, and directly where their data lives.

The partnership combines Digital Realty’s PlatformDIGITAL® colocation and interconnection platform, Dell AI Factory infrastructure, and DXC’s end-to-end implementation and operational expertise to provide enterprises with a complete AI-ready environment.

A Blueprint for Private AI at Scale

The integrated solution allows companies to deploy AI infrastructure closer to their data, minimizing latency and operational complexity while maintaining security and hybrid cloud flexibility. Key offerings include:

• Dell AI Factory on PlatformDIGITAL®: Secure, scalable environments for private AI deployment, combining Dell’s AI hardware and networking with Digital Realty’s high-density colocation.

• Validated AI Use Cases: Pre-built, enterprise-ready examples that accelerate AI adoption and deliver measurable business outcomes.

• End-to-End Integration: DXC handles planning, implementation, and ongoing operationalization, offering a full deployment toolkit to simplify AI infrastructure projects.

• Expert-Led Enablement: DXC provides training, frameworks, and transformation services to ensure teams can operationalize AI effectively.

“AI success requires more than infrastructure; it demands the right people, processes, and technology,” said Holland Barry, Global Field CTO at DXC Technology. “Together with Dell’s validated designs and Digital Realty’s infrastructure, DXC helps enterprises turn AI ambition into tangible business outcomes—faster and with greater impact.”

From Concept to Production, Faster

With this collaboration, companies can rapidly configure and scale repeatable AI architectures hosted in Digital Realty’s PlatformDIGITAL® data centers, powered by Dell and operationalized by DXC. The approach combines high-density colocation, validated designs, and integrated interconnection via Digital Realty’s ServiceFabric®, helping enterprises reduce deployment friction while maintaining secure proximity to their hybrid IT environments.

“AI is transforming how organizations operate and innovate, but realizing its full potential requires infrastructure, strategy, and operational expertise to work seamlessly together,” said Colin McLean, Chief Revenue Officer, Digital Realty. “Our collaboration with Dell and DXC helps customers solve real problems, move faster, and scale AI initiatives more securely—bringing actionable intelligence directly to their data and operations.”

Industry Perspective

“The collaboration between Digital Realty, Dell, and DXC highlights how strategic ecosystem alliances can drive faster adoption of AI-enabled, data-centric hybrid IT infrastructure,” said Courtney Munroe, Research VP at IDC. “By merging global infrastructure with practical solutions, real-world use cases, and deep technical expertise, this partnership enables enterprises to simplify operations, accelerate deployment, and unlock the full potential of their data as a strategic asset.”

As AI adoption accelerates, such multi-vendor, end-to-end approaches may become the new standard for enterprises looking to balance speed, scale, and operational reliability while deploying AI initiatives.
