Digital Realty Hands Off Meet-Me-Room Business

SAN FRANCISCO-The locally based owner of corporate data centers and Internet gateways agrees to outsource the operation of certain facilities within 10 of its buildings.

SAN FRANCISCO-Digital Realty Trust Inc. has agreed to outsource the operation of certain of its facilities in 10 of its 56 buildings. The locally based public company is outsourcing the operation of its “Meet-Me-Room” facilities, which provide customers with fully managed environments for establishing interconnections between the networks of leading Internet companies, enterprises and global telecommunications providers.

Digital Realty is outsourcing the operation of the facilities to the Tel(x) Group Inc., a company that focuses exclusively on operating such facilities. The agreement calls for the company to lease and be the exclusive manager of the Meet-Me-Rooms in 10 Digital Realty Trust facilities in the US.

Digital Realty CEO Michael Foust calls the company’s Meet-Me-Rooms “an ancillary part” of its business. Outsourcing the operation of the facilities to a specialist will enhance the tenants’ experience while allowing Digital Realty Trust to focus on its core business of building, owning and managing datacenter facilities.
