Digital Edge adds two data centers to its portfolio in Japan. This takes its regional footprint to six data centers in four key metros.

Digital Edge, which aims to transform Asia’s digital infrastructure by building and operating energy-efficient data centers, has announced the addition of two data centers in Tokyo.

The company has signed agreements to acquire two fully-operational data centers located in downtown Nihonbashi and Shinjuku from Japanese company ARTERIA.

Representing Digital Edge’s third project in Japan and fourth in North Asia since its inception in 2020, the acquisition will boost the company’s regional footprint to a total of six data centers in four key metros.

This footprint includes three data centers in Tokyo, one in Seoul, one in Busan, and the development of a 12MW facility in Osaka that is scheduled to open in Q1 2022.

Samuel Lee, Chief Executive Officer of Digital Edge, said: “Our goal is simple: to build an exceptional data center platform that enables customers to easily, efficiently and economically deploy their infrastructure to capture the business opportunities that Asia offers.

“We are thrilled to have achieved so much, in so short a time and in such strategic markets as Japan and Korea. I look forward to a long and successful partnership with ARTERIA, and to continuing to identify other opportunities to expand in line with market demands and better support our customers in their Digital Transformation journey.”
