Digital Realty Trust, Inc.

A maker of carrier-neutral data centers and interconnection services, Digital Realty runs hundreds of facilities across six continents where businesses rent space and power to house their servers. It was born from the early-2000s tech bust, when private-equity firm GI Partners bought distressed, vacant "telco hotels" (former phone company buildings loaded with power and fiber) and launched the company as a REIT in 2004. Because its sites are carrier-neutral, no single network controls them.
