GLP launches new global data center business, Ada Infrastructure

APAC logistics real estate firm GLP recently unveiled Ada Infrastructure, a new global data center business, and detailed its development pipeline across Europe, APAC, and South America. The DC campus launches with 850 megawatts of secured IT capacity across Japan, the UK, and Brazil, and reportedly about 1.5 gigawatts of total future capacity.

Ming Mei, co-founder and CEO of GLP, said this platform is a commitment to technology, people, and the planet at large. "Scientific discoveries, medical advancements, communication systems, new and more accessible financial services, global commerce, and now the AI revolution are all made possible within data centers. With Ada, we are proud to be a part of the future of digital infrastructure while also serving our communities and planet," she said.

Jennifer Weitzel, a former Microsoft executive currently leading Ada Infrastructure as president, added that the team believes in technology's potential to benefit society, an idea described as 'poetical science.' "In this spirit, we are committed to meeting the ever-growing capacity needs of the world's most transformative companies, while making a positive impact on communities and the planet. We are building a company that customers want to work with and employees want to work for, not just now, but for years to come. This also means investing in the communities in which we work and live – creating and fostering equitable access to economic and social opportunities," she concluded.
