Digital Realty Launches ServiceFabric MCP, Designed for Enterprise AI Deployments
Digital Realty, a cloud- and carrier-neutral data center platform, is releasing the ServiceFabric Model Context Protocol (MCP), an emerging open protocol that helps make infrastructure programmable for Private AI environments.
According to the company, ServiceFabric MCP extends Digital Realty's global interconnection platform with programmable controls designed for enterprise AI deployments. The launch reflects Digital Realty’s view that the next era of enterprise AI will be defined by physical infrastructure—power density, advanced cooling, and sovereign placement—made programmable through open, AI-native control.
AI Private Exchange (AIPx), the underlying architecture behind ServiceFabric MCP, includes patented policy and orchestration technology for programmable AI infrastructure. This announcement builds on Digital Realty’s broader Foundation for AI strategy focused on enabling enterprise AI at global scale, the company said.
These capabilities help enterprises securely connect AI workloads, data, and infrastructure across distributed environments. Across more than 800 Digital Realty and third-party data centers, ServiceFabric MCP extends Digital Realty’s global platform into a programmable foundation for deploying and managing enterprise AI infrastructure at scale.
“Our strategy is simple: provide the foundational infrastructure enterprises need for sustained AI workloads, while enabling flexible scale as demand grows. ServiceFabric MCP extends the foundation of AIPx with programmable controls and agent-ready interfaces, and our patent position reflects the long-term investment we’ve made in this architecture,” said Chris Sharp, chief technology officer, Digital Realty.
ServiceFabric MCP and AIPx, Digital Realty's private interconnection fabric for AI workloads, are being validated across internal deployments, enterprise AI environments,
Digital Realty has launched AI solutions with partners including ePlus, Lenovo, and Dell, built on infrastructure powered by technologies from NVIDIA and AMD. Additional providers are in active development.
ServiceFabric MCP provides an AI-native control surface across four capability areas:
Design and provisioning: enabling intent-based connectivity design, provisioning, and API access through MCP.
Discovery and telemetry: allowing real-time capacity, topology, and inventory discovery, plus live network telemetry signals covering throughput, latency, and link health.
Identity and security: enabling identity and access control via OAuth 2, with programmable controls over network connectivity.
Operations integration: allowing agent-assisted diagnostics and troubleshooting, with integration hooks for Slack, Microsoft Teams, Splunk, and Datadog.
