What the models said for it
Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.
“Equinix, Digital Realty, DataBank, CoreSite, and Cologix are among the more established providers” Kimi K2 · Colocation · negative prompt · first choice
“place Equinix and Digital Realty as the two largest global colocation players by revenue” GPT-5.4 mini · Colocation · comparative prompt · first choice

“Equinix and Digital Realty are the two market leaders with strong global footprints” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Colocation · comparative prompt · first choice
And against it
Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.
“Avoid hyperscale giants (Equinix, Digital Realty): ... will likely be overkill and overpriced for a mid-market B2B firm.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Colocation · direct prompt · hard negative
“you should generally avoid Tier-1 premium global giants like Equinix, Digital Realty, or CyrusOne” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Colocation · budget prompt · hard negative
“That does not mean you must avoid Equinix or Digital Realty, but it underscores the importance of reading the actual SLA” Muse Glimmer 30B · Colocation · negative prompt · soft negative
“the "best" colocation provider is rarely the biggest global giant (like Equinix or Digital Realty)” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Colocation · direct prompt · soft negative

How it is countedHide how it is counted
Every page digitalrealty.com exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. An event counts as online when its address or title says so (webinar, on demand, virtual or online summit); a conference, summit, trade show, expo or roadshow that does not say so is counted as a conference or event, which on a vendor's site is mostly in person.

Claim this page
Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Digital Realty's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Digital Realty, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.
What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives

- the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
- its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
- who was chosen in the answers that did not name Digital Realty, and every reason the record gives;
- a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
- one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.
