Swiss Datacenter Efficiency Association (SDEA)

Digital Realty achieves first-ever PLATINUM certification.

Digital Realty achieves first-ever PLATINUM certification. Digital Realty's ZUR2 datacenter in Zurich has been awarded the first-ever PLATINUM Plus certification by the Swiss Datacenter Efficiency Association (SDEA). SDEA is dedicated to enhancing the environmental impact of datacenters by recognizing organizations that demonstrate exceptional sustainability and ecological standards. This milestone marks not only a first for Digital Realty, but also the first "PLATINUM Plus" certification issued by the SDEA, underscoring the company's continued leadership in environmental performance and innovation across its global platform. With outstanding operational performance metrics - including a PUE[+] of 1.10, CUE[+] of 0.02, and WUE[+] of 0.00 - ZUR2 sets a new benchmark for sustainable datacenter operations by qualifying for the highest distinction under SDEA's independent, measurement-based certification framework. "ZUR2 exemplifies how operational excellence and environmental responsibility can go hand in hand." Yves Zischek, Managing Director of Digital Realty in Switzerland "Achieving the first-ever PLATINUM Plus certification is a significant milestone for Digital Realty and a testament to our commitment to sustainability-driven innovation," said Yves Zischek, Managing Director of Digital Realty in Switzerland. "ZUR2 exemplifies how operational excellence and environmental responsibility can go hand in hand, delivering measurable impact for our customers and communities." The SDEA certification is based on independently verified performance data and evaluates datacenters across key sustainability indicators, including energy efficiency (PUE[+]), carbon efficiency (CUE[+]), and water usage efficiency (WUE[+]). Unlike design-based certifications, SDEA focuses on real operational performance, providing a transparent and credible benchmark for the industry. "This level represents the highest standard of datacenter efficiency currently achievable." Babak Falsafi, SDEA President "PLATINUM Plus is a first - not just for Digital Realty, but for SDEA," said SDEA President Babak Falsafi. "This level of performance represents the highest standard of datacenter efficiency currently achievable and demonstrates what is possible through rigorous measurement and continuous optimization."

Digital Realty pledges S$7 billion investment in Singapore, including new data centers. Company looks to add to three existing facilities in a constrained market April 09, 2026 US colocation giant Digital Realty is planning a large-scale investment in Singapore. The company this week announced it is targeting nearly S$7 billion (US$5.48bn) of total investment in Singapore. Digital's SIN12 facility in Singapore - Digital Realty That figure includes more than S$4.3 billion (US$3.37bn) planned for new data center developments, building on existing investments. Further details of any new facilities were not shared. "Singapore is emerging as a critical hub for AI inference in Asia Pacific," said Serene Nah, managing director and head of Asia Pacific, Digital Realty. "As organizations deploy AI in real-world environments, they need secure, highly connected infrastructure close to where data is created and consumed. This S$7 billion investment target demonstrates our confidence in Singapore's role as the region's AI infrastructure anchor. We're not just expanding capacity - we're building the operational capabilities, innovation facilities, and local talent base needed to support customers as AI enters production at scale." Digital Realty currently lists three data centers in Singapore: SIN10, SIN11, and SIN12, totaling 925,000 sq ft (85,900 sq ft) of colocation space and 70MW of capacity. The company first entered Singapore in 2010, acquiring a newly developed data center. First announced in 2019, the 50MW SIN12 (also known as Digital Loyang II) launched in 2021. Announced in 2015, the 13MW SIN11 (aka Digital Loyang I) was redeveloped from a former paper store and launched in 2016. Singapore has had a moratorium on new data center developments since 2019 (although already authorized facilities were allowed to be built after this point), but this is starting to be relaxed. Equinix, GDS, Microsoft, and a consortium of AirTrunk and TikTok-owner ByteDance were collectively allocated 80MW of capacity in 2023. Digital reportedly missed out on a capacity allocation, with reports suggesting the company had applied to develop a 60MW facility. The Singapore government is currently requesting applications for further data center projects, and is set to allow up to 200MW of capacity to be developed.
