Our data storage operations provide customers secure and reliable space and power within our portfolio of data centers to host their critical workloads and applications. In nearly all cases, our customers pay an upfront installation fee and recurring monthly fees for services. As a result, we are able to earn a stable, recurring revenue stream and an attractive return on capital. Our data center portfolio is comprised of over 140 operational data centers, with approximately 1 gigawatt of critical load capacity and 640 megawatts of contracted capacity that will be built out.

Strategic Position

Our global data storage operations represent one of the largest global hyperscale data center platforms. Our strategy to build a leading global data center platform will enable us to meaningfully participate in the exponential growth in digital infrastructure demand worldwide. We believe our size, scale and global portfolio will be a competitive advantage and provide a differentiated product to customers. Our operating footprint is across five continents and can give our hyperscale customers, who have global capacity requirements, a highly flexible turn-key solution that includes renewable power and adjacent real estate development.

Our U. S. data platform is strongly positioned to offer solutions to both hyperscale and enterprise customers. Our U. S. colocation data center operation is a carrier neutral provider with operations in all U. S. major markets, provides best-in-class connectivity options, and serves primarily enterprise customers including financial institutions, government entities, universities, hospitals, and large blue-chip firms. During 2024, we successfully integrated our legacy U. S colocation data center operations with a portfolio of data centers and underlying real estate that we acquired in January 2024, creating the largest independent retail colocation data center provider in North America, with over 300 megawatts of capacity and approximately 50 data centers covering 20 markets. Conversely our U. S. hyperscale data center operation is a leading development platform with capacity contracted on a long-term basis, underpinned by major hyperscale customers. Our facilities offer single tenant buildings or campuses representing the closest substitution for customer self-build.

Our Asia Pacific data storage business is an owner and operator of four data center facilities in Australia and New Zealand. The data centers have a combined utilization of approximately 80% and a weighted average remaining contract life of 5 years, servicing a range of customers from small retailers to Australian and global investment grade companies. We believe the business is well positioned to capture growth opportunities associated with increasing demand for data storage across the region.
