Digital Realty has opened its latest North American data center in downtown Toronto, an 800-kilowatt facility with 6,900 square feet of new colocation space.
The new YYZ12 data center, Digital Realty's third data center in Greater Toronto, will be fully interconnected with dark fiber paths to Digital Realty's TOR1 data center in Vaughan, Ontario. Digital Realty said Toronto is a major hub of data attraction for financial services, banking and the insurance industries, and the city ranks in the top 10 metros in terms of growth in data gravity intensity for these sectors through 2024.
At the same time, Digital Realty also broke ground on its fourth center of data exchange in the strategic interconnection hub in the southern port city of Marseille in France.
The new MRS4 site is expected to offer up to 13.6 megawatts of customer capacity and benefits from a central geographical location in the heart of the Mediterranean, offering direct access to 14 submarine cable
