# U.S. data center real estate trust Digital Realty expands innovation labs to new locations in Japan | Lianhe Zaobao

American data center real estate investment trust Digital Realty announced the expansion of its Innovation Lab network into the Asia-Pacific market, with the first stops in Singapore and Japan.

Digital Realty stated on Wednesday (February 25) that the newly established labs will provide real environments for companies to test artificial intelligence (AI) and hybrid cloud solutions, supporting local and regional businesses in accelerating related deployments.

The Singapore facility will be positioned as a digital innovation hub, promoting the development of local and regional businesses in the fields of AI and hybrid cloud. The lab in Japan will be located at the NRT12 data center in Tokyo, equipped with infrastructure to support high-density AI workloads, including liquid cooling systems to meet high power computing demands.

The facilities in both locations are expected to be operational later this year.

Through these labs, companies can test system performance, optimize configurations, and connect to cloud and network service providers via Digital Realty's ServiceFabric platform.

Digital Realty pointed out that these facilities will help reduce deployment complexity and accelerate the process for regional businesses to validate AI infrastructure
