Digital Realty announced the next step in its plan to help customers unlock trapped value from their data with the launch of ServiceFabric(TM), an interconnectivity solution and orchestration platform designed to support the wider industry shift to a hybrid, data-centric architecture. In its industry manifesto titled Enabling Connected Data Communities - originally published in 2021 - Digital Realty laid out its vision: a solutions-based approach and call to action to remove legacy barriers across the interconnection industry and tackle the challenges of Data Gravity head-on. The initiative outlined a new collaborative roadmap to integrate interconnection platforms with multiple partners and build the open fabric-of-fabrics connecting centers of data.

ServiceFabric Connect, the first connectivity service launched under the new ServiceFabric product family, is the company's next step in realizing this vision. Developed in-house by Digital Realty, the orchestration platform - available to customers immediately in 61 sites and 32 metro markets spanning North America, Europe, and Asia - pulls together network and cloud connectivity elements from multiple sources, including those from Digital Realty and its partners, to instantiate end-to-end services that customers need to fulfill their hybrid IT needs and support business goals.
