Subsequent to the end of the quarter, Digital Realty has announced that it has completed three additional acquisitions totaling $71.8 million, bringing year-to-date acquisitions to $94.3 million. The first property, 6800 Millcreek Drive, located in suburban Toronto, Canada, totals approximately 84,000 square feet and is 100% leased to an IT services provider. The second acquisition, 101 Aquila Way, a 313,600 square foot property located in Atlanta, Georgia, is 100% leased through 2011 to a major Internet enterprise as a key data center.

Globix UK has announced it is investing £2 million in a high-density hosting facility at its data centre in London. The 4,000sq foot facility will house 20 kilowatt high-density hosting racks. No other data centre in London has the power and cooling capabilities to support such an advanced blade server environment. Space will be available this summer. The build-out comes at a time when London is reaching 100% hosting capacity; both in terms of space within existing data centres and land on which to build new facilities.
