"As AI demand grows worldwide, having the right infrastructure is vital for delivering reliable AI services," said Yusuke Doi, VP of Computing Infrastructure at PFN.
"Conventional data centres may not meet the rising thermal and power densities of AI chips. We're eager to leverage Digital Realty's data centre platform to support our future business," Doi added.
PFN has chosen NRT12 for its advanced, flexible design, ability to provide scalable rack power capacity, and Digital Realty's expertise in data centre operations, and direct liquid cooling.
PFN has started developing its AI computing environment at NRT12 and plans to begin full-scale operations in January 2026.
