QTS Data Centers is a carrier-neutral colocation and hyperscale data center operator that leases raised-floor space, power, and connectivity to enterprises, hyperscale technology companies, and government agencies across North America and Europe, rather than selling cloud services directly (QTS exited direct cloud/managed hosting in 2018). As of 2025, QTS operates dozens of data center buildings across roughly 20 U.S. states plus the Netherlands, Canada, and announced expansion into the UK, Spain, Italy, and Finland, with a portfolio that had grown to around 36 properties totaling roughly 1,200MW of capacity across the US and Europe by 2026. Founded in Overland Park, Kansas in 2003 by Chad Williams and acquired by Blackstone for approximately $10 billion in 2021, QTS is known for its “mega-scale” approach of converting large industrial or purpose-built structures — a former Chicago Sun-Times printing plant, a former DuPont Fabros wholesale campus in Piscataway, a former semiconductor fab in Dallas — into standardized “QTS Freedom” design data centers, and for pursuing gigawatt-scale campuses (Cedar Rapids, IA; Hall County, TX) aimed at AI and hyperscale demand.

Common Questions
Who owns QTS Data Centers?
QTS Realty Trust was a publicly traded REIT until funds managed by Blackstone completed an acquisition of the company for approximately $10 billion in August 2021, after which it became a private, Blackstone-backed portfolio company.
Does QTS Data Centers offer cloud computing services?
No. QTS restructured in 2018 to focus on hyperscale and hybrid colocation, exiting its in-house cloud and managed services business by transferring those customer contracts to General Datatech (GDT); QTS now focuses on colocation "on-ramps" to major cloud providers rather than selling cloud itself.
Where does QTS Data Centers operate outside the United States?
QTS operates two data centers in the Netherlands (Eemshaven and Groningen, acquired in 2019) and a legacy Carpathia-inherited facility in Toronto, Canada, and has announced (but not yet completed) new campuses in Cambois, UK; Calatorao, Spain; Vimercate, Italy; and Forssa, Finland.
Does QTS have AI/GPU-specific data center infrastructure?
QTS's own site states that its Ashburn 1 campus in Sterling, Virginia offers 'liquid cooling availability for high-demand workloads,' and the company has publicly targeted gigawatt-scale AI and hyperscale campuses (such as a planned $10 billion project in Hall County, Texas), though most of its individual buildings are described in general hyperscale/colocation terms rather than as dedicated AI facilities.
Does QTS Data Centers offer colocation services?
Yes — we've identified 32 facilities where QTS Data Centers may offer colocation services. Please contact QTS Data Centers directly to confirm current availability and terms.
