EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 of Digital Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and Digital Realty Trust, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership, of which Digital Realty Trust, Inc. is the sole general partner. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this report to “we,” “us,” “our,” “our company” or “the company” refer to Digital Realty Trust, Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries, including Digital Realty Trust, L.P. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references to “our operating partnership” or “the operating partnership” refer to Digital Realty Trust, L.P. together with its consolidated subsidiaries.

Digital Realty Trust, Inc. is a real estate investment trust, or REIT, and the sole general partner of Digital Realty Trust, L.P. As of September 30, 2011, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. owned an approximate 95.4% common general partnership interest in Digital Realty Trust, L.P. The remaining approximate 4.6% common limited partnership interests are owned by non-affiliated investors and certain directors and officers of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. As of September 30, 2011, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. owned all of the preferred limited partnership interests of Digital Realty Trust, L.P. As the sole general partner of Digital Realty Trust, L.P., Digital Realty Trust, Inc. has the full, exclusive and complete responsibility for the operating partnership’s day-to-day management and control.

We believe combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. and Digital Realty Trust, L.P. into this single report results in the following benefits:

• enhancing investors’ understanding of our company and our operating partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;

• eliminating duplicative disclosure and providing a more streamlined and readable presentation since a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both our company and our operating partnership; and

• creating time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

There are a few differences between our company and our operating partnership, which are reflected in the disclosure in this report. We believe it is important to understand the differences between our company and our operating partnership in the context of how we operate as an interrelated consolidated company. Digital Realty Trust, Inc. is a REIT, whose only material asset is its ownership of partnership interests of Digital Realty Trust, L.P. As a result, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of Digital Realty Trust, L.P., issuing public equity from time to time and guaranteeing certain unsecured debt of Digital Realty Trust, L.P. Digital Realty Trust, Inc. itself does not issue any indebtedness but guarantees some of the unsecured debt of Digital Realty Trust, L.P., as disclosed in this report. Digital Realty Trust, L.P. holds substantially all the assets of the company and holds the ownership interests in the company’s joint ventures. Digital Realty Trust, L.P. conducts the operations of the business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except for net proceeds from public equity issuances by Digital Realty Trust, Inc., which are generally contributed to Digital Realty Trust, L.P. in exchange for partnership units, Digital Realty Trust, L.P. generates the capital required by the company’s business through Digital Realty Trust, L.P.’s operations, by Digital Realty Trust, L.P.’s direct or indirect incurrence of indebtedness or through the issuance of partnership units.

The presentation of noncontrolling interests in operating partnership, stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital are the main areas of difference between the condensed consolidated financial statements of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. and those of Digital Realty Trust, L.P. The common limited partnership interests held by the limited partners in Digital Realty Trust, L.P. are presented as limited partners’ capital within partners’ capital in Digital Realty Trust, L.P.’s condensed consolidated financial statements and as noncontrolling interests in operating partnership within equity in Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The common and preferred partnership interests held by Digital Realty Trust, Inc. in Digital Realty Trust, L.P. are presented as general partner’s capital within partners’ capital in Digital Realty Trust, L.P.’s condensed consolidated financial statements and as preferred stock, common stock, additional paid-in capital and accumulated dividends in excess of earnings within stockholders’ equity in Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The differences in the presentations between stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital result from the differences in the equity issued at the Digital Realty Trust, Inc. and the Digital Realty Trust, L.P. levels.

To help investors understand the significant differences between the company and the operating partnership, this report presents the following separate sections for each of the company and the operating partnership:

• condensed consolidated financial statements;

• the following notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements:

• Debt of the Company and Debt of the Operating Partnership;

2

• Income per Share and Income per Unit; and

• Equity and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss, Net of the Company and Capital and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss of the Operating Partnership;

• Liquidity and Capital Resources in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations; and

• Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

This report also includes separate Item 4. Controls and Procedures sections and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications for each of the company and the operating partnership in order to establish that the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of each entity have made the requisite certifications and that the company and the operating partnership are compliant with Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and 18 U.S.C. §1350.

In order to highlight the differences between the company and the operating partnership, the separate sections in this report for the company and the operating partnership specifically refer to the company and the operating partnership. In the sections that combine disclosure of the company and the operating partnership, this report refers to actions or holdings as being actions or holdings of the company. Although the operating partnership is generally the entity that enters into contracts and joint ventures and holds assets and debt, reference to the company is appropriate because the business is one enterprise and the company operates the business through the operating partnership.

As general partner with control of the operating partnership, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. consolidates the operating partnership for financial reporting purposes, and it does not have significant assets other than its investment in the operating partnership. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. and Digital Realty Trust, L.P. are the same on their respective condensed consolidated financial statements. The separate discussions of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. and Digital Realty Trust, L.P. in this report should be read in conjunction with each other to understand the results of the company on a consolidated basis and how management operates the company.

1. Organization and Description of Business

Digital Realty Trust, Inc. through its controlling interest in Digital Realty Trust, L.P. (the Operating Partnership) and the subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership (collectively, we, our, us or the Company) is engaged in the business of owning, acquiring, developing, redeveloping and managing technology-related real estate. The Company is focused on providing Turn-Key Datacenter^® and Powered Base Building^® datacenter solutions for domestic and international tenants across a variety of industry verticals ranging from information technology and Internet enterprises, to manufacturing and financial services. As of September 30, 2011, our portfolio consisted of 98 properties, excluding two properties held as investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, of which 82 are located throughout North America, 15 are located in Europe and one is located in Asia. We are diversified in major markets where corporate datacenter and technology tenants are concentrated, including the Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York Metro, Northern Virginia, Phoenix, San Francisco and Silicon Valley metropolitan areas in the U.S., the Amsterdam, Dublin, London and Paris markets in Europe and the Singapore, Sydney and Melbourne markets in the Asia Pacific region. The portfolio consists of Internet gateway and corporate datacenter properties, technology manufacturing properties and regional or national headquarters of technology companies.

The Operating Partnership was formed on July 21, 2004 in anticipation of our initial public offering (IPO) on November 3, 2004 and commenced operations on that date. As of September 30, 2011, we own a 95.4% common interest and a 100% preferred interest in the Operating Partnership. As sole general partner, we have control over the Operating Partnership. The limited partners of the Operating Partnership do not have rights to replace us as the general partner nor do they have participating rights, although they do have certain protective rights.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all of the accounts of Digital Realty Trust, Inc., the Operating Partnership and the subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and in compliance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All such adjustments are considered to be of a normal recurring nature, except as otherwise indicated. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the full fiscal year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

The notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. and the Operating Partnership have been combined to provide the following benefits:

• enhancing investors’ understanding of the Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;

• eliminating duplicative disclosure and providing a more streamlined and readable presentation since a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both the Company and the Operating Partnership; and

• creating time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one set of notes instead of two separate sets of notes.

There are few differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, which are reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements. We believe it is important to understand the differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership in the context of how we operate as an interrelated consolidated company. Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s only material asset is its ownership of partnership interests of the Operating Partnership. As a result, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, issuing public equity from time to time and guaranteeing certain unsecured debt

of the Operating Partnership. Digital Realty Trust, Inc. itself does not hold any indebtedness but guarantees some of the unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership, as disclosed in these notes. The Operating Partnership holds substantially all the assets of the Company and holds the ownership interests in the Company’s joint ventures. The Operating Partnership conducts the operations of the business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except for net proceeds from public equity issuances by Digital Realty Trust, Inc., which are generally contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for partnership units, the Operating Partnership generates the capital required by the Company’s business through the Operating Partnership’s operations, by the Operating Partnership’s direct or indirect incurrence of indebtedness or through the issuance of partnership units.

The presentation of noncontrolling interests in operating partnership, stockholder’s equity and partners’ capital are the main areas of difference between the condensed consolidated financial statements of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. and those of the Operating Partnership. The common limited partnership interests held by the limited partners in the Operating Partnership are presented as limited partners’ capital within partners’ capital in the Operating Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements and as noncontrolling interests in operating partnership within equity in Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The common and preferred partnership interests held by Digital Realty Trust, Inc. in the Operating Partnership are presented as general partner’s capital within partners’ capital in the Operating Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements and as preferred stock, common stock, additional paid-in capital and accumulated dividends in excess of earnings within stockholders’ equity in Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The differences in the presentations between stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital result from the differences in the equity issued at the Digital Realty Trust, Inc. and the Operating Partnership levels.

To help investors understand the significant differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, these condensed consolidated financial statements present the following separate sections for each of the Company and the Operating Partnership:

• condensed consolidated face financial statements; and

• the following notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements:

• Debt of the Company and Debt of the Operating Partnership;

• Income per Share and Income per Unit; and

• Equity and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss, Net of the Company and Capital and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss of the Operating Partnership.

In the sections that combine disclosure of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. and the Operating Partnership, these notes refer to actions or holdings as being actions or holdings of the Company. Although the Operating Partnership is generally the entity that enters into contracts and joint ventures and holds assets and debt, reference to the Company is appropriate because the business is one enterprise and the Company operates the business through the Operating Partnership.

(b) Cash Equivalents

For the purpose of the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, we consider short-term investments with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2011, cash equivalents consist of investments in money market instruments.

(c) Share Based Compensation

We account for share based compensation using the fair value method of accounting. The estimated fair value of the stock options granted by us is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the stock options. The estimated fair value of the long-term incentive units and Class C Units (discussed in note 12(b)) granted by us is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected service period.

For share based compensation awards with performance conditions, we estimate the fair value of the award for each of the possible performance condition outcomes and amortize the compensation cost based on management’s projected performance outcome. In the instance management’s projected performance outcome changes prior to the final measurement date, compensation cost is adjusted accordingly.

(d) Income Taxes

Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (the Parent Company) has elected to be treated and believes that it has been organized and has operated in a manner that has enabled the Parent Company to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. As a REIT, the Parent Company generally is not required to pay federal corporate income taxes on its taxable income to the extent it is currently distributed to its stockholders.

(unaudited)

However, qualification and taxation as a REIT depend upon the Parent Company’s ability to meet the various qualification tests imposed under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), including tests related to annual operating results, asset composition, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the Parent Company has been organized or has operated or will continue to operate in a manner so as to qualify or remain qualified as a REIT. If the Parent Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates.

The Operating Partnership is a partnership and is not required to pay federal income tax. Instead, taxable income is allocated to its partners, who include such amounts on their federal income tax returns. As such, no provision for federal income taxes has been included in the Operating Partnership’s accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Even if the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership are not subject to federal income taxes, they are taxed in certain states in which they operate. The Company is also taxed in non-U.S. countries where it operates that do not recognize U.S. REITs under their respective tax laws. The Company’s consolidated taxable REIT subsidiary is subject to both federal and state income taxes to the extent there is taxable income. Accordingly, the Company recognizes and accrues income taxes for its taxable REIT subsidiary, certain states and non-U.S. jurisdictions, as appropriate.

We assess our significant tax positions in accordance with U.S. GAAP for all open tax years and determine whether we have any material unrecognized liabilities from uncertain tax benefits. If a tax position is not considered “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained solely on its technical merits, no benefits of the tax position are to be recognized (for financial statement purposes). As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we have no assets or liabilities for uncertain tax positions. We classify interest and penalties from significant uncertain tax positions as interest expense and operating expense, respectively, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, we had no such interest or penalties. The tax years 2008 through 2010 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions with which the Parent Company and its subsidiaries file tax returns.

See Note 9 for further discussion on income taxes.

(e) Presentation of Transactional-based Taxes

We account for transactional-based taxes, such as value added tax, or VAT, for our international properties on a net basis.

(f) Asset Retirement Obligations

We record accruals for estimated retirement obligations as required by current accounting guidance. The amount of asset retirement obligations relates primarily to estimated asbestos removal costs at the end of the economic life of properties that were built before 1984. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the amount included in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets was approximately $1.3 million.

(g) Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value

Fair value under U.S. GAAP is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, our fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair-value measurements, we use a fair-value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair-value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair-value hierarchy, the level in the fair-value hierarchy within which the entire fair-value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair-value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair-value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

(h) Construction Management Revenue

Construction management revenue is recognized under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. Revenues are determined by measuring the percentage of total costs incurred to date to estimated total costs for each construction management contract based on current estimates of costs to complete. Contract costs include all labor and benefits, materials, subcontracts, and an allocation of indirect costs related to contract performance. Indirect costs are allocated to projects based upon labor hours charged. As long-term design-build projects extend over one or more years, revisions in cost and estimated earnings during the course of the work are reflected in the accounting period in which the facts which require the revision become known. At the time a loss on a design-build project becomes known, the entire amount of the estimated ultimate loss is recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Change orders are recognized when they are approved by the client.

Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted construction management projects are included in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted construction management projects are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Customers are billed on a monthly basis at the end of each month, which can be in advance of work performed.

(i) Transactions Expense

Transactions expense includes acquisition-related expenses and other business development expenses, which are expensed as incurred. Acquisition-related expenses include closing costs, broker commissions and other professional fees, including legal and accounting fees related to acquisitions and potential acquisitions.

(j) Capitalization of Costs

Direct and indirect project costs that are clearly associated with the development and redevelopment of properties are capitalized as incurred. Project costs include all costs directly associated with the development or redevelopment of a property, including construction costs, interest, property taxes, insurance, legal fees and costs of personnel working on the project. Indirect costs that do not clearly relate to the projects under development/redevelopment are not capitalized and are charged to expense as incurred.

Capitalization of costs begins when the activities necessary to get the development/redevelopment project ready for its intended use begins, which include costs incurred before the beginning of construction. Capitalization of costs ceases when the development/redevelopment project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Determining when a development/redevelopment project commences, and when it is substantially complete and ready for its intended use involves a degree of judgment. We generally consider a development/redevelopment project to be substantially complete and ready for its intended use upon recommissioning, which is when the redeveloped/developed project has been tested at full load, or receipt of a certificate of occupancy. We cease cost capitalization if activities necessary for the development/redevelopment of the property have been suspended. Capitalized costs are allocated to the specific components of a project that are benefited.

(k) Management’s Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates made. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the valuation of our real estate properties, accounts receivable and deferred rent receivable, performance-based equity compensation plans, the completeness of accrued liabilities and Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s qualification as a REIT. We base our estimates on historical experience, current market conditions, and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may vary from those estimates and those estimates could vary under different assumptions or conditions.

(l) Segment Information

All of our properties generate similar revenues and expenses related to tenant rent and reimbursements and operating expenses. The delivery of our products is consistent across all properties and although services are provided to a wide range of customers, the types of services provided to them are limited to a few core principles. As such, the properties in our portfolio have similar economic characteristics and the nature of the products and services provided to our customers and the method to distribute such services are consistent throughout the portfolio. Consequently, our properties qualify for aggregation into one reporting segment.

Revolving Credit Facilities

Corporate Revolving Credit Facility

As of September 30, 2011, the Operating Partnership’s revolving credit facility, which we refer to as the corporate revolving credit facility, had a total capacity of $750.0 million. Effective August 31, 2011, we exercised the second and final one-year extension option to our corporate revolving credit facility, which extended its maturity date from August 31, 2011 to August 31, 2012. As of September 30, 2011, borrowings under the corporate revolving credit facility bore interest at a blended rate of 1.44% (U.S), 2.55% (Euro) and 1.88% (GBP), which are based on 1-month LIBOR, 1-month EURIBOR and 1-month GBP LIBOR, respectively, plus a margin of 1.20%. The corporate revolving credit facility has a $515.0 million sub-facility for multicurrency advances in British Pounds Sterling, Canadian Dollars, Euros, and Swiss Francs. We have used and intend to use available borrowings under the corporate revolving credit facility to acquire additional properties, fund development and redevelopment opportunities and to provide for working capital and other corporate purposes, including potentially for the repurchase, redemption or retirement of outstanding debt or preferred equity securities. As of September 30, 2011, approximately $148.8 million was drawn under this facility and $30.0 million of letters of credit were issued.

The corporate revolving credit facility contains various restrictive covenants, including limitations on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, make certain investments or merge with another company, and requirements to maintain financial coverage ratios as well as a pool of unencumbered assets. In addition, a downgrade in Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s credit rating to below investment grade may trigger additional payments or other consequences under our corporate revolving credit facility. In addition, except to enable Digital Realty Trust, Inc. to maintain its status as a REIT for federal income tax purposes or as may otherwise be required to avoid the imposition of income or excise taxes on Digital Reality Trust, Inc., we are not permitted during any four consecutive fiscal

Borrowings under the Asia Pacific revolving credit facility are guaranteed by the Company, the Operating Partnership and certain of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries. We have used and intend to use available borrowings under the Asia Pacific revolving credit facility to, among other things, acquire additional properties, fund development opportunities and to provide for working capital and other general corporate purposes. As of September 30, 2011, borrowings under the Asia Pacific revolving credit facility bore interest at a blended rate of 1.42% (Singapore) and 6.07% (Australia), which are based on 1-month SIBOR and 1-month BBR, respectively, plus a margin of 1.20%.

Unsecured Senior Notes

Prudential Shelf Facility

On January 20, 2010, the Operating Partnership closed the sale of $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of its senior unsecured term notes to Prudential Investment Management, Inc. and certain of its affiliates, or, collectively, Prudential, pursuant to the Prudential shelf facility. The notes were issued in two series referred to as the series D and series E notes. The series D notes have a principal amount of $50.0 million, an interest-only rate of 4.57% per annum and a five-year maturity, and the series E notes have a principal amount of $50.0 million, an interest-only rate of 5.73% per annum and a seven-year maturity.

The series F notes have an interest-only rate of 4.50% per annum and a five-year maturity. We used the proceeds of the series D, series E and series F notes to fund acquisitions, to temporarily repay borrowings under our revolving credit facility, to fund working capital and for general corporate purposes. On December 8, 2010, the Operating Partnership and Prudential entered into an amendment to the Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement, increasing the capacity of the Prudential shelf facility from $200.0 million to $250.0 million. Our ability to make additional issuances of notes under the Prudential shelf facility expired on July 24, 2011, with $50.0 million remaining unissued under the shelf facility. On July 25, 2011, we repaid the $25.0 million of 7.0% Series A unsecured notes under the Prudential shelf facility at maturity. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there was $175.0 million and $200.0 million of unsecured senior notes outstanding, respectively.

which represented the estimated term of the 2026 Debentures, and were included in deferred financing costs, net in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The 2026 Debentures were general unsecured senior obligations of the Operating Partnership, ranked equally in right of payment with all other senior unsecured indebtedness of the Operating Partnership and were fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Digital Realty Trust, Inc.

Interest was payable on August 15 and February 15 of each year beginning February 15, 2007 until the maturity date of August 15, 2026. The 2026 Debentures bore interest at 4.125% per annum and contained an exchange settlement feature, which provided that the 2026 Debentures, under certain circumstances, could have been exchangeable for cash (up to the principal amount of the 2026 Debentures) and, with respect to any excess exchange value, into cash, shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock or a combination of cash and shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock at an exchange rate that was initially 30.6828 shares per $1,000 principal amount of 2026 Debentures. The exchange rate on the 2026 Debentures was subject to adjustment for certain events, including, but not limited to, certain dividends on Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock in excess of $0.265 per share per quarter (the “reference dividend”). Effective June 13, 2011, the exchange rate was adjusted to 32.2730 shares per $1,000 principal amount of 2026 Debentures as a result of the aggregate dividends in excess of the reference dividend that Digital Realty Trust, Inc. declared and paid on its common stock beginning with the quarter ended December 31, 2006 and through the quarter ended June 30, 2011.

Prior to August 18, 2011, the Operating Partnership could not redeem the 2026 Debentures except to preserve Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s status as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. On or after August 18, 2011, at the Operating Partnership’s option, the 2026 Debentures were redeemable in cash in whole or in part at 100% of the principal amount plus unpaid interest, if any, accrued to, but excluding, the redemption date, upon at least 30 days’ but not more than 60 days’ prior written notice to holders of the 2026 Debentures.

The holders of the 2026 Debentures had the right to require the Operating Partnership to repurchase the 2026 Debentures in cash in whole or in part on each of August 15, 2011, August 15, 2016 and August 15, 2021, and in the event of a designated event, for a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2026 Debentures plus unpaid interest, if any, accrued to, but excluding, the repurchase date. Designated events included certain merger or combination transactions, non-affiliates becoming the beneficial owner of more than 50% of the total voting power of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s capital stock, a substantial turnover of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s directors within a 12- month period and Digital Realty Trust, Inc. ceasing to be the general partner of the Operating Partnership. Certain events were considered “Events of Default,” which could have resulted in the accelerated maturity of the 2026 Debentures, including a default for 30 days in payment of any installment of interest under the 2026 Debentures, a default in the payment of the principal amount or any repurchase price or redemption price due with respect to the 2026 Debentures and the Operating Partnership’s failure to deliver cash or any shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock within 15 days after the due date upon an exchange of the 2026 Debentures, together with any cash due in lieu of fractional shares of common stock.

In addition, the 2026 Debentures were exchangeable (i) prior to July 15, 2026, during any fiscal quarter after the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2006, if the closing sale price of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock for 20 or more trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter exceeded 130% of the exchange price in effect on the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, (ii) prior to July 15, 2026, during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period in which the average trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2026 Debentures was equal to or less than 98% of the product of the closing sale price of the common stock during such period, multiplied by the applicable exchange rate, (iii) if we called the 2026 Debentures for redemption and (iv) any time on or after July 15, 2026. In July 2011, we gave notice to the holders of the 2026 Debentures that the 2026 Debentures were exchangeable during the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2011 pursuant to (i) above. The exchange price in effect as of June 30, 2011 was $30.99 per share.

We entered into a registration rights agreement whereby we agreed to register the shares of common stock which could be issued in the future upon exchange of the 2026 Debentures. If we do not fulfill certain of our obligations under the registration rights agreement, we will be required to pay liquidated damages to the holders of the 2026 Debentures. No separate contingent obligation has been recorded as no liquidated damages have become probable. We filed the shelf registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in April 2007, which was automatically effective upon filing.

On August 18, 2011, the Operating Partnership redeemed $1,000 in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Debentures pursuant to its option under the indenture governing the 2026 Debentures at a price of $1,000.34, which was equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, August 18, 2011. In connection with the redemption, on September 6, 2011, we issued 715,752 restricted shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock and the Operating Partnership paid approximately $48.3 million in cash to holders of the 2026 Debentures in exchange for approximately $48.3 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Debentures, which consisted of all the 2026 Debentures that remained outstanding, at the request of holders pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the 2026 Debentures. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we exchanged

approximately $88.8 million aggregate principal amount of our 2026 Debentures for a combination of cash (approximately $100.5 million) and 1,087,820 restricted shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock at the request of holders pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing our 2026 Debentures. We recorded a loss on exchange of approximately $0.0 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and approximately $0.7 million and $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, determined based on the excess of the fair value of the 2026 Debentures at the exchange date over the carrying value of the exchanged 2026 Debentures along with a write off of a pro rata portion of the associated debt discount on the 2026 Debentures and deferred financing costs.

5.50% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2029

On April 20, 2009, the Operating Partnership issued $266.4 million of its 5.50% exchangeable senior debentures due April 15, 2029 (the 2029 Debentures). Costs incurred to issue the 2029 Debentures were approximately $7.8 million. These costs are being amortized over a period of five years, which represents the estimated term of the 2029 Debentures, and are included in deferred financing costs, net in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The 2029 Debentures are general unsecured senior obligations of the Operating Partnership, rank equally in right of payment with all other senior unsecured indebtedness of the Operating Partnership and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Digital Realty Trust, Inc.

Interest is payable on October 15 and April 15 of each year beginning October 15, 2009 until the maturity date of April 15, 2029. The 2029 Debentures bear interest at 5.50% per annum and may be exchanged for shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock at an exchange rate that was initially 23.2558 shares per $1,000 principal amount of 2029 Debentures. The exchange rate on the 2029 Debentures is subject to adjustment for certain events, including, but not limited to, certain dividends on Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock in excess of $0.33 per share per quarter (the “reference dividend”). Effective June 13, 2011, the exchange rate has been adjusted to 23.9050 shares per $1,000 principal amount of 2029 Debentures as a result of the aggregate dividends in excess of the reference dividend that Digital Realty Trust, Inc. declared and paid on its common stock beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and through the quarter ended June 30, 2011. Due to the fact that the exchange feature for the 2029 Debentures must be settled in the common stock of Digital Realty Trust, Inc., new accounting guidance on convertible debt instruments that requires the principal amount to be settled in cash upon conversion does not apply.

Prior to April 18, 2014, the Operating Partnership may not redeem the 2029 Debentures except to preserve Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s status as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. On or after April 18, 2014, at the Operating Partnership’s option, the 2029 Debentures are redeemable in cash in whole or in part at 100% of the principal amount plus unpaid interest, if any, accrued to, but excluding, the redemption date, upon at least 30 days’ but not more than 60 days’ prior written notice to holders of the 2029 Debentures.

The holders of the 2029 Debentures have the right to require the Operating Partnership to repurchase the 2029 Debentures in cash in whole or in part on each of April 15, 2014, April 15, 2019 and April 15, 2024, and in the event of a designated event, for a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2029 Debentures plus unpaid interest, if any, accrued to, but excluding, the repurchase date. Designated events include certain merger or combination transactions, non-affiliates becoming the beneficial owner of more than 50% of the total voting power of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s capital stock, a substantial turnover of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s directors within a 12-month period without the approval of existing members and Digital Realty Trust, Inc. ceasing to be the general partner of the Operating Partnership. Certain events are considered “Events of Default,” which may result in the accelerated maturity of the 2029 Debentures, including a default for 30 days in payment of any installment of interest under the 2029 Debentures, a default in the payment of the principal amount or any repurchase price or redemption price due with respect to the 2029 Debentures and the Operating Partnership’s failure to deliver shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock within 15 days after the due date upon an exchange of the 2029 Debentures, together with any cash due in lieu of fractional shares of common stock.

We entered into a registration rights agreement whereby we must register the shares of common stock which could be issued in the future upon exchange of the 2029 Debentures. If we do not fulfill certain of our obligations under the registration rights agreement, we will be required to pay liquidated damages to the holders of the 2029 Debentures. No separate contingent obligation has been recorded as no liquidated damages have become probable. We filed the shelf registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in December 2009, which was automatically effective upon filing.

On or after July 15, 2026, the 2026 Debentures would have been exchangeable at the then-applicable exchange rate for cash (up to the principal amount of the 2026 Debentures) and, with respect to any excess exchange value, into cash, shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock or a combination of cash and shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock. The 2026 Debentures also would have been exchangeable prior to July 15, 2026, but only upon the occurrence of certain specified events, including if the weighted average common stock price exceeded a specified strike price as of the end of a fiscal quarter. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the remaining 2026 Debentures were redeemed and exchanged. Using the treasury stock method, 494,292 shares of common stock contingently issuable upon settlement of the excess exchange value were included as potentially dilutive common shares in determining diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the weighted average common stock price exceeded the strike price as of September 30, 2010 of $31.84.

9. Income Taxes

Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (the Parent Company) elected to be taxed as a REIT and believes that it has complied with the REIT requirements of the Code. As a REIT, the Parent Company is generally not subject to corporate level federal income taxes on taxable income to the extent it is currently distributed to its stockholders. Since inception, the Parent Company has distributed 100% of its taxable income and intends to do so for the tax year ending December 31, 2011. As such, no provision for federal income taxes has been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

We have elected taxable REIT subsidiary (TRS) status for some of our consolidated subsidiaries. In general, a TRS may provide services that would otherwise be considered impermissible for REITs and hold assets that REITs cannot hold directly. A TRS is subject to federal income tax as a regular C corporation. Income taxes for TRS entities are accrued, as necessary, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

For our TRS entities and foreign subsidiaries that are subject to U.S. federal, state and foreign income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities at the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is provided if we believe it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset may not be realized, based

on available evidence at the time the determination is made. An increase or decrease in the valuation allowance that results from the change in circumstances that causes a change in our judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax asset is included in income. Deferred tax assets (net of valuation allowance) and liabilities for our TRS entities and foreign subsidiaries are accrued, as necessary, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

10. Equity and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss, Net

(a) Equity Distribution Agreements

On December 31, 2009, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. entered into equity distribution agreements, which we refer to as the Original Equity Distribution Agreements, with each of Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, or the Original Agents, under which it could issue and sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $400.0 million from time to time through, at its discretion, any of the Original Agents as its sales agents. On January 22, 2010, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. amended and restated each Original Equity Distribution Agreement with the applicable Original Agent, and also entered into a new equity distribution agreement with Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, or collectively the Equity Distribution Agreements, under which it could issue and sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $400.0 million (including the approximately 1.1 million shares of common stock having an aggregate offering price of approximately $54.3 million sold pursuant to the Original Equity Distribution Agreements as of January 22, 2010), from time to time through, at its discretion, any of the Original Agents or Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated as its sales agents. On March 2, 2011, the Equity Distribution Agreements were amended to amend certain representations. The sales of common stock made under the Equity Distribution Agreements were made in “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act. In June 2011, we completed the equity distribution program. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. generated net proceeds of approximately $176.9 million from the issuance of approximately 3.0 million common shares under the Equity Distribution Agreements at an average price of $60.51 per share after payment of approximately $2.7 million of commissions to the sales agents and before offering expenses. Pursuant to the program, we sold 6.8 million shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $400.0 million, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $394.0 million after deducting commissions.

On June 29, 2011, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. entered into equity distribution agreements, which we refer to as the 2011 Equity Distribution Agreements, with each of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, or the Agents, under which it could issue and sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $400.0 million from time to time through, at its discretion, any of the Agents as its sales agents. The sales of common stock made under the 2011 Equity Distribution Agreements will be made in “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. generated net proceeds of approximately $237.6 million from the issuance of approximately 4.1 million common shares under the 2011 Equity Distribution Agreements at an average price of $58.38 per share after payment of approximately $2.4 million of commissions to the sales agents and before offering expenses.

(b) Redeemable Preferred Stock

On September 15, 2011, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. issued 11,500,000 shares of its 7.000% series E cumulative redeemable preferred stock, or the series E preferred stock for gross proceeds of $287.5 million. Dividends are cumulative on the series E preferred stock from the date of original issuance in the amount of $1.750 per share each year, which is equivalent to 7.000% of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share. Dividends on the series E preferred stock are payable quarterly in arrears. The first dividend payable on the series E preferred stock on December 30, 2011 will be a pro rata dividend from and including the original issue date to and including December 31, 2011 in the amount of $0.515278 per share. The series E preferred stock does not have a stated maturity date and is not subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption provisions. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the series E preferred stock will rank senior to Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock with respect to the payment of distributions and other amounts and rank on parity with Digital Realty Trust, Inc. series C preferred stock and series D preferred stock. Digital Realty Trust, Inc. is not allowed to redeem the series E preferred stock before September 15, 2016, except in limited circumstances to preserve its status as a REIT. On or after September 15, 2016, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. may, at its option, redeem the series E preferred stock, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, for cash at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends on such series E preferred stock up to but excluding the redemption date. Holders of the series E preferred stock generally have no voting rights except for limited voting rights if Digital Realty Trust, Inc. fails to pay dividends for six or more quarterly periods (whether or not consecutive) and in certain other circumstances. Except in connection with specified change of control transactions, the series E preferred stock is not convertible into or exchangeable for any other property or securities of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.

Limited partners have the right to require the Operating Partnership to redeem part or all of their common units for cash based on the fair market value of an equivalent number of shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock at the time of redemption. Alternatively, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. may elect to acquire those common units in exchange for shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, issuance of stock rights, specified extraordinary distributions and similar events. Pursuant to authoritative accounting guidance, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. evaluated whether it controls the actions or events necessary to issue the maximum number of shares that could be required to be delivered under the share settlement of the noncontrolling Operating Partnership common and incentive units. Based on the results of this analysis, we concluded that the common and incentive Operating Partnership units met the criteria to be classified within equity.

The redemption value of the noncontrolling Operating Partnership common units and the vested incentive units was approximately $244.8 million and $244.5 million based on the closing market price of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock on September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

The following table shows activity for the noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership for the nine months ended September 30, 2011:

	Common Units			Incentive Units			Total
As of December 31, 2010		3,937,827			1,525,622			5,463,449
Redemption of common units for shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock (1)		(517,013	)		—			(517,013	)
Conversion of incentive units held by employees and directors for shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock (1)		—			(53,168	)		(53,168	)
Cancellation of incentive units held by employees and directors		—			(53,138	)		(53,138	)

As of September 30, 2011		3,420,814			1,603,858			5,024,672

(1) This redemption was recorded as a reduction to noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership and an increase to common stock and additional paid in capital based on the book value per unit in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.

Under the terms of certain third parties’ (the eXchange parties) contribution agreements signed in the third quarter of 2004, we have agreed to indemnify each eXchange party against adverse tax consequences in the event the Operating Partnership directly or indirectly sells, exchanges or otherwise disposes of (whether by way of merger, sale of assets or otherwise) in a taxable transaction any interest in 200 Paul Avenue 1-4 or 1100 Space Park Drive until the earlier of November 3, 2013 and the date on which these contributors or certain transferees hold less than 25% of the Operating Partnership common units issued to them in the formation transactions consummated concurrently with the IPO. Under the eXchange parties’ amended contribution agreement, the Operating Partnership has agreed to make approximately $17.8 million of indebtedness available for guaranty by the eXchange parties until the earlier of November 3, 2013 and the date on which these contributors or certain transferees hold less than 25% of the Operating Partnership common units issued to them in the formation transactions consummated concurrently with the IPO, and we have agreed to indemnify each eXchange party against adverse tax consequences if the Operating Partnership does not provide such indebtedness to guarantee.

(f) Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Joint Ventures

On June 24, 2011, we acquired all of the noncontrolling ownership interest in the entity that owns Datacenter Park Dallas from our joint venture partner for approximately $53.2 million (subject to adjustment in limited circumstances). The acquisition was financed with borrowings under our corporate revolving credit facility. The amount paid in excess of the carrying value of the noncontrolling ownership interest resulted in a decrease to additional paid-in capital, as presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of equity.

11. Capital and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

(a) Redeemable Preferred Units

On September 15, 2011, the Operating Partnership issued 11,500,000 units of its 7.000% series E cumulative redeemable preferred units, or series E preferred units, to Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (the General Partner) in conjunction with the General Partner’s issuance of an equivalent number of shares of its 7.000% series E cumulative redeemable preferred stock, or the series E preferred stock. Distributions are cumulative on the series E preferred units from the date of original issuance in the amount of $1.750 per unit each year, which is equivalent to 7.000% of the $25.00 liquidation preference per unit. Distributions on the series E preferred units are payable quarterly in arrears. The first distribution payable on the series E preferred units on December 30, 2011 will be a pro rata distribution from and including the original issue date to and including December 31, 2011 in the amount of $0.515278 per unit. Distributions on the series E preferred units are payable quarterly in arrears. The series E preferred units do not have a stated maturity date and are not subject to any sinking fund. The Operating Partnership is required to redeem the series E preferred units in the event that the General Partner redeems the series E preferred stock. The General Partner is not allowed to redeem the series E preferred stock prior to September 15, 2016 except in limited circumstances to preserve the General Partner’s status as a REIT. On or after September 15, 2016, the General Partner may, at its option, redeem the series E preferred stock, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, for cash at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends on such series E preferred stock up to but excluding the redemption date. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the series E preferred units will rank senior to the common units with respect to the payment of distributions and other amounts and rank on parity with the Operating Partnership’s series C and series D preferred units. Except in connection with specified change of control transactions, the series E preferred units are not convertible into or exchangeable for any other property or securities of the Operating Partnership.

(b) Allocations of Net Income and Net Losses to Partners

Except for special allocations to holders of profits interest units described below in note 12(a) under the heading “Incentive Plans-Long-Term Incentive Units,” the Operating Partnership’s net income will generally be allocated to Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (the General Partner) to the extent of the accrued preferred return on its preferred units, and then to the General Partner and the Operating Partnership’s limited partners in accordance with the respective percentage interests in the common units issued by the Operating Partnership. Net loss will generally be allocated to the General Partner and the Operating Partnership’s limited partners in accordance with the respective common percentage interests in the Operating Partnership

until the limited partner’s capital is reduced to zero and any remaining net loss would be allocated to the General Partner. However, in some cases, losses may be disproportionately allocated to partners who have guaranteed our debt. The allocations described above are subject to special allocations relating to depreciation deductions and to compliance with the provisions of Sections 704(b) and 704(c) of the Code, and the associated Treasury Regulations.

(c) Partnership Units

Limited partners have the right to require the Operating Partnership to redeem part or all of their common units for cash based on the fair market value of an equivalent number of shares of the General Partner’s common stock at the time of redemption. Alternatively, the General Partner may elect to acquire those common units in exchange for shares of the General Partner’s common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, issuance of stock rights, specified extraordinary distributions and similar events. Pursuant to authoritative accounting guidance, the Operating Partnership evaluated whether it controls the actions or events necessary to issue the maximum number of shares that could be required to be delivered under the share settlement of the limited partners’ common units and the vested incentive units. Based on the results of this analysis, the Operating Partnership concluded that the common and vested incentive Operating Partnership units met the criteria to be classified within capital.

The redemption value of the limited partners’ common units and the vested incentive units was approximately $244.8 million and $244.5 million based on the closing market price of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s common stock on September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

(d) Distributions

All distributions on Operating Partnership units are at the discretion of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s board of directors. As of September 30, 2011, the Operating Partnership declared the following distributions (in thousands):

The amount paid in excess of the carrying value of the noncontrolling ownership interest resulted in a decrease to general partner common capital as presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of capital.

12. Incentive Plan

Our Amended and Restated 2004 Incentive Award Plan (as defined below) provides for the grant of incentive awards to employees, directors and consultants. Awards issuable under the Amended and Restated 2004 Incentive Award Plan include stock options, restricted stock, dividend equivalents, stock appreciation rights, long-term incentive units, cash performance bonuses and other incentive awards. Only employees are eligible to receive incentive stock options under the Amended and Restated 2004 Incentive Award Plan. Initially, we had reserved a total of 4,474,102 shares of common stock for issuance pursuant to the 2004 Incentive Award Plan, subject to certain adjustments set forth in the 2004 Incentive Award Plan. On May 2, 2007, Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s stockholders approved the First Amended and Restated Digital Realty Trust, Inc., Digital Realty Services, Inc. and Digital Realty Trust, L.P. 2004 Incentive Award Plan (as amended, the Amended and Restated 2004 Incentive Award Plan). The Amended and Restated 2004 Incentive Award Plan increases the aggregate number of shares of stock which may be issued or transferred under the plan by 5,000,000 shares to a total of 9,474,102 shares, and provides that the maximum number of shares of stock with respect to awards granted to any one participant during a calendar year will be 1,500,000 and the maximum amount that may be paid in cash during any calendar year with respect to any performance-based award not denominated in stock or otherwise for which the foregoing limitation would not be an effective limitation for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code will be $10.0 million.

As of September 30, 2011, 3,738,420 shares of common stock or awards convertible into or exchangeable for common stock remained available for future issuance under the Amended and Restated 2004 Incentive Award Plan. Each long-term incentive and Class C unit issued under the Amended and Restated 2004 Incentive Award Plan will count as one share of common stock for purposes of calculating the limit on shares that may be issued under the Amended and Restated 2004 Incentive Award Plan and the individual award limit discussed above.

(a) Long-Term Incentive Units

Long-term incentive units, which are also referred to as profits interest units, may be issued to eligible participants for the performance of services to or for the benefit of the Operating Partnership. Long-term incentive units, whether vested or not, will receive the same quarterly per unit distributions as Operating Partnership common units, which equal per share distributions on Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock. Initially, long-term incentive units do not have full parity with common units with respect to liquidating distributions. If such parity is reached, vested long-term incentive units may be converted into an equal number of common units of the Operating Partnership at any time, and thereafter enjoy all the rights of common units of the Operating Partnership, including redemption rights.

In order to achieve full parity with common units, long-term incentive units must be fully vested and the holder’s capital account balance in respect of such long-term incentive units must be equal to the capital account balance of a holder of an equivalent number of common units. The capital account balance attributable to each common unit is generally expected to be the same, in part because of the amount credited to a partner’s capital account upon the partner’s contribution of property to the Operating Partnership, and in part because the partnership agreement provides, in most cases, that allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction (which will adjust the partner’s capital accounts) are to be made to the common units on a proportionate basis. As a result, with respect to a number of long-term incentive units, it is possible to determine the capital account balance of an equivalent number of common units by multiplying the number of long-term incentive units by the capital account balance with respect to a common unit.

A partner’s initial capital account balance is equal to the amount the partner paid (or contributed to the Operating Partnership) for the partner’s units and is subject to subsequent adjustments, including with respect to the partner’s share of income, gain or loss of the Operating Partnership. Because a holder of long-term incentive units generally will not pay for the long-term incentive units, the initial capital account balance attributable to such long-term incentive units will be zero. However, the Operating Partnership is required to allocate income, gain, loss and deduction to the partner’s capital accounts in accordance with the terms of the partnership agreement, subject to applicable Treasury Regulations. The partnership agreement provides that holders of long-term incentive units will receive special allocations of gain in the event of a sale or “hypothetical sale” of assets of the Operating Partnership prior to the allocation of gain to Digital Realty Trust, Inc. or other limited partners with respect to their common units. The amount of such allocation will, to the extent of any such gain, be equal to the difference between the capital account balance of a holder of long-term incentive units attributable to such units and the capital account balance attributable to an equivalent number of common units. If and when such gain allocation is fully made, a holder of long-term incentive units will have achieved full parity with holders of common units. To the extent that, upon an actual sale or a “hypothetical sale” of the Operating Partnership’s assets as described above, there is not sufficient gain to allocate to a holder’s capital account with respect to long-term incentive units, or if such sale or “hypothetical sale” does not occur, such units will not achieve parity with common units.

The term “hypothetical sale” refers to circumstances that are not actual sales of the Operating Partnership’s assets but that require certain adjustments to the value of the Operating Partnership’s assets and the partners’ capital account balances. Specifically, the partnership agreement provides that, from time to time, in accordance with applicable Treasury Regulations, the Operating Partnership will adjust the value of its assets to equal their respective fair market values, and adjust the partners’ capital accounts, in accordance with the terms of the partnership agreement, as if the Operating Partnership sold its assets for an amount equal to their value. Times for making such adjustments generally include the liquidation of the Operating Partnership, the acquisition of an additional interest in the Operating Partnership by a new or existing partner in exchange for more than a de minimis capital contribution, the distribution by the Operating Partnership to a partner of more than a de minimis amount of partnership property as consideration for an interest in the Operating Partnership, in connection with the grant of an interest in the Operating Partnership (other than a de minimis interest) as consideration for the performance of services to or for the benefit of the Operating Partnership (including the grant of a long-term incentive unit), and at such other times as may be desirable or required to comply with the Treasury Regulations.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, certain employees were granted an aggregate of 85,910 and 92,368 long-term incentive units, respectively. The grant date fair values, which equal the market price of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock, are being expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the long-term incentive units, which is four years. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, certain employees were also granted an aggregate of 98,632 and 107,993 long-term incentive units, respectively, which, in addition to a service condition, are subject

to a performance condition that impacts the number of units in which the employee ultimately vests. The performance condition is based upon our achievement of the respective fiscal years’ Funds From Operations per share targets. Upon evaluating the results of the performance condition, the final number of units is determined and such units vest based on satisfaction of the service conditions. The service conditions of the awards provide for 20% vesting on each of the first and second anniversaries of the grant date and 30% vesting on each of the third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date, provided the grantee continues employment on each anniversary date. Based on our 2010 FFO per diluted share and unit, all of the 2010 long-term incentive units satisfied the performance condition. The grant date fair values, which equal the market price of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock, are being expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the long-term incentive units, which ranges from four to five years.

The expense recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 related to long-term incentive units was approximately $2.2 million and $1.8 million, respectively, and approximately $6.6 million and $5.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. We capitalized amounts relating to compensation expense of employees direct and incremental to construction and successful leasing activities of approximately $0.2 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and approximately $0.6 million and $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Unearned compensation representing the unvested portion of the long-term incentive units totaled $15.9 million and $12.9 million as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. We expect to recognize this unearned compensation over the next 2.6 years on a weighted average basis.

(b) Class C Profits Interest Units

On May 2, 2007, we granted awards of Class C Profits Interest Units of the Operating Partnership or similar stock-based performance awards, which we refer to collectively as the Class C Units, under the Amended and Restated 2004 Incentive Award Plan (2007 Grant) to each of our named executive officers and certain other officers and employees.

The Class C Units subject to this award were subject to vesting based on the achievement of a total stockholder return (which we refer to as the market condition) as measured on November 1, 2008 (which we refer to as the first measurement date) and May 1, 2010 (which we refer to as the second measurement date). If:

• with respect to the first measurement date, we achieved a total shareholder return equal to at least 18% over the period commencing on May 2, 2007 and ending on November 1, 2008; and

• with respect to the second measurement date, we achieved a total shareholder return equal to at least 36% over a period commencing on May 2, 2007 and ending on the earlier of May 1, 2010 and the date of a change in control of the Company,

the aggregate amount of the 2007 Grant award would equal 8% of the excess shareholder value, as defined, created during the applicable performance period, but in no event in excess of:

• $17 million for the first measurement date; or

• $40 million (less the amount of the award pool as of the first measurement date) for the second measurement date.

We previously determined that the market condition with respect to the first measurement date was not achieved. On May 1, 2010, we determined that 613,485 of the Class C Units subject to the 2007 Grant satisfied the market condition on the second measurement date (May 1, 2010), with the value of these units equal to the maximum amount of the award pool payable pursuant to the 2007 Grant on the second measurement date. Of the Class C Units that satisfied the market condition on May 1, 2010, 60% vested on May 1, 2010 and the remaining 40% will vest ratably each month thereafter for 24 months.

The fair value of the 2007 Grant was measured on the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the probability of the multiple market conditions being satisfied. The Monte Carlo simulation uses a statistical formula underlying the Black-Scholes and binomial formulas, and such simulation was run approximately 100,000 times. For each simulation, the value of the payoff was calculated at the settlement date and was then discounted to the grant date at a risk-free interest rate. The expected value of the Class C units on the grant date was determined by multiplying the average of the values over all simulations by the number of outstanding shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock and Operating Partnership units. The valuation was performed in a risk-neutral framework, so no assumption was made with respect to an equity risk premium. Other significant assumptions used in the valuation included an expected term of 36 months, expected stock price volatility of 23%, a risk-free interest rate of 4.6%, and a dividend growth rate of 5.0%. The fixed award limit under the plan was $17 million for the first market condition and $40 million for the second market condition, and there were 69.2 million shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock and Operating Partnership units outstanding as of the 2007 grant date. The grant date fair value of these awards of approximately $11.8 million will be recognized as compensation

expense on a straight-line basis over the expected service period of five years. The unearned compensation as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $1.1 million and $2.9 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, 537,194 and 439,653, respectively, of the Class C Units subject to the 2007 Grant had vested. We recognized compensation expense related to the Class C Units subject to the 2007 Grant of approximately $0.7 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and approximately $1.6 million and $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. We capitalized amounts relating to compensation expense of employees direct and incremental to construction and successful leasing activities of approximately $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 and approximately $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

(c) Stock Options

The fair value of each option granted under the Amended and Restated 2004 Incentive Award Plan is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, no stock options were granted. The fair values are being expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the options, which ranges from four to five years. The expense recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $0.2 million and approximately $0.6 million, respectively, and $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. We capitalized amounts relating to compensation expense of employees direct and incremental to construction and successful leasing activities of approximately $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 and approximately $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. Unearned compensation representing the unvested portion of the stock options totaled $0.5 million and $1.3 million as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. We expect to recognize this unearned compensation over the next 0.5 years on a weighted average basis.

The following table summarizes the Amended and Restated 2004 Incentive Award Plan’s stock option activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2011:

(d) Restricted Stock

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, certain employees were granted an aggregate of 41,220 and 37,761 shares of restricted stock, respectively. The grant date fair values, which equal the market price of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock, are being expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the restricted stock, which is four years. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, certain employees were also granted an aggregate of 50,999 and 37,914 shares of restricted stock, respectively, which, in addition to a service condition, are subject to a performance condition that impacts the number of shares in which the employee ultimately vests. The performance condition is based upon our achievement of the respective year’s FFO per share targets. Upon evaluating the results of the performance condition, the final number of shares is determined and such shares vest based on satisfaction of the service conditions. The

service conditions of the awards provide for 20% vesting on each of the first and second anniversaries of the grant date and 30% vesting on each of the third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date provided the grantee continues employment on each anniversary date. Based on our 2010 FFO per diluted share and unit, all of the 2010 restricted stock satisfied the performance condition.

The expense recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 related to grants of restricted stock was approximately $0.5 million, and approximately $1.5 million and $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. We capitalized amounts relating to compensation expense of employees direct and incremental to construction and successful leasing activities of approximately $0.4 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and approximately $1.1 million and $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Unearned compensation representing the unvested portion of the restricted stock totaled $6.2 million and $4.2 million as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. We expect to recognize this unearned compensation over the next 3.0 years on a weighted average basis.

13. Derivative Instruments

Currently, we use interest rate caps and swaps to manage our interest rate risk. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves.

To comply with the provisions of fair value accounting guidance, we incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of our derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.

Although we have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counterparties. However, as of December 31, 2010, we have assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our derivative positions and have determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives. As a result, we have determined that our derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

Our objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements related to US LIBOR, GBP LIBOR and EURIBOR based mortgage loans. To accomplish this objective, we primarily use interest rate swaps and caps as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Under an interest rate cap, if the reference interest rate, such as one-month LIBOR, increases above the cap rate, the holder of the instrument receives a payment based on the notional value of the instrument, the length of the period, and the difference between the current reference rate and the cap rate. If the reference rate increases above the cap rate, the payment received under the interest rate cap will offset the increase in the payments due under the variable rate notes payable.

We record all our interest rate swaps and caps on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. In determining the fair value of our interest rate swaps and caps, we consider the credit risk of our counterparties. These counterparties are generally larger financial institutions engaged in providing a variety of financial services. These institutions generally face similar risks regarding adverse changes in market and economic conditions, including, but not limited to, fluctuations in interest rates, exchange rates, equity and commodity prices and credit spreads. The current and pervasive disruptions in the financial markets have heightened the risks to these institutions.

Interest rate caps are viewed as a series of call options or caplets which exist for each period the cap agreement is in existence. As each caplet expires, the related cost of the expired caplet is amortized to interest expense with the remaining caplets carried at fair value. The value of interest rate caps is primarily impacted by interest rates, market expectations about interest rates, and the remaining life of the instrument. In general, increases in interest rates, or anticipated increases in interest rates, will increase the value of interest rate caps. As the remaining life of an interest rate cap decreases, the value of the instrument will generally decrease towards zero. The purchase price of an interest rate cap is amortized to interest expense over the contractual life of the instrument. For interest rate caps that are designated as cash flow hedges under accounting guidance as it relates to derivative instruments, the change in the fair value of an effective interest rate cap is recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income in equity. Amounts we are entitled to under interest rate caps, if any, are recognized on an accrual basis, and are recorded as a reduction against interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Our agreements with some of our derivative counterparties provide either that (1) we could be declared in default on our derivative obligations if repayment of the underlying indebtedness is accelerated by the lender due to our default on the indebtedness or (2) we could be declared in default on our derivative obligations if we default on any of our indebtedness, including a default where repayment of the underlying indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During 2011, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate debt. The fair value of these derivatives was ($6.5) million and ($8.0) million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, there were no ineffective portions to our interest rate swaps.

Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to interest rate swaps will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on our debt. As of September 30, 2011, we estimate that an additional $3.5 million will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense during the twelve months ending September 30, 2012, when the hedged forecasted transactions impact earnings.

As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk (in thousands):

14. Fair Value of Instruments

We disclose fair value information about all financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value.

Current accounting guidance requires the Company to disclose fair value information about all financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheets, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. The Company’s disclosures of estimated fair value of financial instruments at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methods. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts and other receivables, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities, security deposits and prepaid rents approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. As described in note 13, the interest rate cap and interest rate swaps are recorded at fair value.

We calculate the fair value of our mortgage loans, unsecured senior notes and exchangeable senior debentures based on currently available market rates assuming the loans are outstanding through maturity and considering the collateral and other loan terms, including excess exchange value which related to our 2026 Debentures. In determining the current market rate for fixed rate debt, a market spread is added to the quoted yields on federal government treasury securities with similar maturity dates to debt. The carrying value of our revolving credit facilities approximates fair value, due to the short-term nature of this instrument along with the variability of interest rates.

As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the aggregate estimated fair value and carrying value of our revolving credit facilities, unsecured senior notes, exchangeable senior debentures, mortgage loans and other secured loan were as follows (in thousands):

	As of September 30, 2011				As of December 31, 2010
	Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Value
Revolving credit facilities (1)	$	163,113	$	163,113	$	333,534	$	333,534
Unsecured senior notes (2)(3)		1,513,237		1,440,828		1,103,983		1,066,030
Exchangeable senior debentures (2)(3)		374,036		266,400		504,241		353,702
Mortgage loans (2)		982,942		916,199		1,078,220		1,043,188
Other secured loan		10,719		10,500		10,720		10,500
	$	3,044,047	$	2,797,040	$	3,030,698	$	2,806,954

(1) The carrying value of our revolving credit facilities approximates estimated fair value, due to the short-term nature of this instrument along with the variability of interest rates.

(2) Valuations for our unsecured senior notes and mortgage loans are determined based on the expected future payments discounted at risk-adjusted rates. The 2015 Notes, 2020 Notes and 2021 Notes and exchangeable senior debentures are valued based on quoted market prices.

(3) The carrying value of the 2015 Notes, 2020 Notes and 2021 Notes are net of discount of $9,172 and $8,970 in the aggregate as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The carrying value of our exchangeable senior debentures are net of discount of $1,456 as of December 31, 2010, related to our 2026 Debentures.

15. Related Party Transactions

In December 2006, we entered into ten leases with tel(x), pursuant to which tel(x) provides enhanced meet-me-room services to our customers. The initial terms of these leases expire in 2026, and tel(x) has options to extend them through 2046. tel(x) was acquired by GI Partners Fund II, LLP in November 2006, which, collectively with GI Partners Side Fund II, L.P., owned the majority of the outstanding stock of tel(x). Richard Magnuson, our director and Chairman, is the chief executive officer of the advisor to GI Partners Fund II, LLP and GI Partners Side Fund II, L.P. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, GI Partners Fund II, LLP and GI Partners Side Fund II, L.P completed the sale of tel(x) to an unrelated third party. Our condensed consolidated statements of operations include rental revenues of approximately $11.4 million and $7.3 million from tel(x) for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and approximately $30.9 million and $18.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Our condensed consolidated balance sheet includes deferred rent and unamortized deferred leasing costs of approximately $31.9 million and $21.0 million as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. In connection with the lease agreements, we entered into an operating agreement with tel(x), effective as of December 1, 2006, with respect to joint sales and marketing efforts, designation of representatives to manage the national relationship between us and tel(x) and future meet-me-room facilities. Under the operating agreement, tel(x) has a sixty-day option to enter into a meet-me-room lease for certain future meet-me-room buildings acquired by us or any buildings currently owned by us that are converted into a meet-me-room building. As of September 30, 2011, tel(x) leases 254,314 square feet of net rentable space from us under 39 lease agreements and as of December 31, 2010, tel(x) leased 202,987 square feet of net rentable space from us under 31 lease agreements.

We also entered into an agreement with tel(x), effective as of December 1, 2006, with respect to percentage rent arising out of potential future lease agreements for rentable space in buildings covered by the meet-me-room lease agreements. Percentage rent earned during the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 amounted to approximately $1.4 million and $0.9 million, respectively, and $2.1 million and $1.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

In addition, in connection with the lease agreements, we entered into a management agreement with tel(x), effective as of December 1, 2007, pursuant to which tel(x) agreed to provide us with certain management services in exchange for a management fee of one percent of rents actually collected by tel(x).

We are party to eight leases with SoftLayer, of which six are in place as of September 30, 2011 and the remaining two will commence in future periods. The initial terms of these leases expire from 2013 to 2025, and SoftLayer has options to extend them from 2018 through 2035. On August 3, 2010, GI Partners Fund III, L.P. acquired a controlling interest in SoftLayer. Richard Magnuson, our Chairman, is also a manager of the general partner to GI Partners Fund III, L.P. Our condensed consolidated statements of operations include rental revenues of approximately $4.7 million and $11.6 million from SoftLayer for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. Our consolidated statements of operations include rental revenues of approximately $1.2 million and $1.6 million from SoftLayer for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.

16. Commitments and Contingencies

We have agreed with the seller of 350 East Cermak Road to share a portion, not to exceed $135,000 per month, of rental revenue, adjusted for our costs to lease the premises, from the leases of the 192,000 square feet of space held for redevelopment. This revenue sharing agreement will terminate in May 2012. We made payments of approximately $1.2 million and $4.2 million to the seller during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. We have recorded approximately $1.1 million and $2.3 million for this contingent liability on our consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

As part of the acquisition of Clonshaugh Industrial Estate I, we entered into an agreement with the seller whereby the seller is entitled to receive 40% of the net rental income generated by the existing building after we have received a 9% return on all capital invested in the property. As of February 6, 2006, the date we acquired this property, we have estimated the present value of these expected payments over the 10 year lease term to be approximately $1.1 million and this value has been recorded as a component of the purchase price. Accounts payable and other liabilities include $1.3 million for this liability as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. We made payments of $0.1 million to the seller during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

As part of the acquisition of 29A International Business Park, the seller could earn additional consideration based on future net operating income growth in excess of certain performance targets, as defined. As of September 30, 2011, construction is not complete and none of the leases executed subsequent to purchase would cause an amount to become probable of payment and therefore no amount is accrued as of September 30, 2011. The maximum amount that could be earned by the seller is S$50.0 million (or approximately $38.2 million based on the exchange rate as of September 30, 2011). The earnout contingency expires in November 2020.

Our properties require periodic investments of capital for tenant-related capital expenditures and for general capital improvements and from time to time in the normal course of our business, we enter into various construction contracts with third parties that may obligate us to make payments. At September 30, 2011, we had open commitments related to construction contracts of approximately $134.2 million.

17. Subsequent Events

On October 13, 2011, we acquired a 50% interest in 2020 Fifth Avenue, a redevelopment property located in Seattle, with a committed initial capital contribution of approximately $22.9 million, of which approximately $4.1 million was funded thus far with borrowings under our corporate revolving credit facility. The site is located adjacent to 2001 Sixth Avenue where we are partners in an existing joint venture.

On October 21, 2011, we completed the acquisition of a redevelopment site in Dublin, Ireland. The purchase price was €4.5 million (or $6.3 million based on the rate of exchange on October 21, 2011) and was funded with borrowings under our corporate revolving credit facility.

On October 24, 2011, our board of directors approved an amendment to Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s charter increasing the number of authorized shares of its common stock, par value $.01 per share, available for issuance from 145,000,000 to 165,000,000. No changes were made to the number of authorized shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s preferred stock, par value $.01 per share, available for issuance (currently 30,000,000). We filed the amendment with the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation on October 28, 2011 and it became effective on that date.

On October 24, 2011, we declared the following dividends per share and the Operating Partnership declared an equivalent distribution per unit:

Share Class	Series C Preferred Stock		Series D Preferred Stock		Series E Preferred Stock			Common stock and common unit
Dividend and distribution amount	$	0.273438	$	0.343750	$	0.515278	(1)	$	0.680000
Dividend and distribution payable date		December 30, 2011		December 30, 2011		December 30, 2011			January 13, 2012
Dividend payable to shareholders of record on		December 15, 2011		December 15, 2011		December 15, 2011			December 15, 2011
Annual equivalent rate of dividend and distribution	$	1.094	$	1.375	$	1.750		$	2.720

(1) Represents a pro rata dividend from and including the original issue date to and including December 31, 2011.

On November 3, 2011, the Operating Partnership replaced its corporate and Asia Pacific revolving credit facilities with an expanded revolving credit facility increasing its total capacity to $1.5 billion from $850 million. The renewed facility matures in four years, with a one-year extension option. The interest rate for borrowings under the expanded facility equals the applicable index plus a margin which is based on the credit rating of our long-term debt and is currently 125 basis points. An annual facility fee based on the credit rating of our long-term debt, currently 25 basis points, is payable quarterly.

On November 3, 2011, the Operating Partnership amended and restated its note purchase and private shelf agreement with Prudential to make changes in connection with the Operating Partnership’s expanded revolving credit facility and, subject to the completion of specified conditions, to authorize the potential issuance and sale of up to $50.0 million of additional notes.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. In particular, statements pertaining to our capital resources, expected use of proceeds from our equity distribution program, expected use of borrowings under our revolving credit facilities, portfolio performance, leverage policy and acquisition and capital expenditure plans, as well as our discussion of “Factors Which May Influence Future Results of Operations,” contain forward-looking statements. Likewise, all of our statements regarding anticipated market conditions, demographics and results of operations are forward-looking statements. You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “intends,” “plans,” “pro forma,” “estimates” or “anticipates” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases which are predictions of or indicate future events or trends and discussions which do not relate solely to historical matters. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. Forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties and you should not rely on them as predictions of future events. Forward-looking statements depend on assumptions, data or methods that may be incorrect or imprecise and that we may not be able to realize. We do not guarantee that the transactions and events described will happen as described or that they will happen at all. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements: the impact of the recent deterioration in global economic, credit and market conditions including the downgrading of the U.S. government’s credit rating; current local economic conditions in our geographic markets; decreases in information technology spending, including as a result of economic slowdowns or recession; adverse economic or real estate developments in our industry or the industry sectors that we sell to (including risks relating to decreasing real estate valuations and impairment charges); our dependence upon significant tenants; bankruptcy or insolvency of a major tenant or a significant number of smaller tenants; defaults on or non-renewal of leases by tenants; our failure to obtain necessary debt and equity financing; increased interest rates and operating costs; risks associated with using debt to fund our business activities, including re-financing and interest rate risks, our failure to repay debt when due, adverse changes in our credit ratings or our breach of covenants or other terms contained in our loan facilities and agreements; financial market fluctuations; changes in foreign currency exchange rates; our inability to manage our growth effectively; difficulty acquiring or operating properties in foreign jurisdictions; our failure to successfully integrate and operate acquired or redeveloped properties; risks related to joint venture investments, including as a result of our lack of control of such investments; delays or unexpected costs in development or redevelopment of properties; decreased rental rates or increased vacancy rates; increased competition or available supply of data center space; our inability to successfully develop and lease new properties and space held for redevelopment; difficulties in identifying properties to acquire and completing acquisitions; our inability to acquire off-market properties; our inability to comply with the rules and regulations applicable to reporting companies; Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s failure to maintain its status as a REIT; possible adverse changes to tax laws; restrictions on our ability to engage in certain business activities; environmental uncertainties and risks related to natural disasters; losses in excess of our insurance coverage; changes in foreign laws and regulations, including those related to taxation and real estate ownership and operation; and changes in local, state and federal regulatory requirements, including changes in real estate and zoning laws and increases in real property tax rates.

While forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs, they are not guaranties of future performance. We disclaim any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, data or methods, future events or other changes.

The risks included here are not exhaustive, and additional factors could adversely affect our business and financial performance, including factors and risks included in other sections of this report, including under Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all such risk factors on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.

Occupancy percentages included in the following discussion, for some of our properties, are calculated based on factors in addition to contractually leased square feet, including available power, required support space and common area.

Overview

Our company. Digital Realty Trust, Inc. completed its initial public offering of common stock, or our IPO, on November 3, 2004. We believe that we have operated in a manner that has enabled Digital Realty Trust, Inc. to qualify, and have elected to treat Digital Realty Trust, Inc., as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code. Digital Realty Trust, Inc. was formed on March 9, 2004. During the period from our formation until we commenced operations in connection with the completion of our IPO, we did not have any corporate activity other than the issuance of shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock in connection with the initial capitalization of the company. Our operating partnership was formed on July 21, 2004.

48

Business and strategy. Our primary business objectives are to maximize: (i) sustainable long-term growth in earnings and funds from operations per share and unit and (ii) cash flow and returns to our stockholders and our operating partnership’s unitholders, including through the payment of distributions. We expect to achieve our objectives by focusing on our core business of investing in and developing and redeveloping technology-related real estate. The significant components of our current and future growth is anticipated through the development of our existing space held for redevelopment and acquisitions of new operating and development properties. We target high quality, strategically located properties containing applications and operations critical to the day-to-day operations of corporate enterprise datacenter and technology industry tenants and properties that may be developed or redeveloped for such use. Most of our properties contain fully redundant electrical supply systems, multiple power feeds, above-standard precision cooling systems, raised floor areas, extensive in-building communications cabling and high-level security systems. We focus solely on technology-related real estate because we believe that the growth in corporate datacenter adoption and the technology-related real estate industry generally will continue to be superior to that of the overall economy.

As of September 30, 2011, we owned an aggregate of 98 technology-related real estate properties, excluding two properties held as investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, with approximately 17.4 million rentable square feet including approximately 2.1 million square feet of space held for redevelopment. At September 30, 2011, approximately 1,145,000 square feet of space was under construction for Turn-Key Datacenter^®, Powered Base Building^® and Build-to-Suit product, all of which will be income producing when complete, in eight U.S. domestic markets, one European market and Singapore, consisting of approximately 551,000 square feet of development projects and 594,000 square feet of redevelopment projects.

We have developed detailed, standardized procedures for evaluating acquisitions to ensure that they meet our financial, technical and other criteria. We expect to continue to acquire additional assets as a part of our growth strategy. We intend to aggressively manage and lease our assets to increase their cash flow. We intend to continue to build out our redevelopment portfolio when justified by anticipated returns.

We may acquire properties subject to existing mortgage financing and other indebtedness or we may incur new indebtedness in connection with acquiring or refinancing these properties. Debt service on such indebtedness will have a priority over any cash dividends with respect to Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s common stock and preferred stock. We currently intend to limit our indebtedness to 60% of our total enterprise value and, based on the closing price of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock on September 30, 2011 of $55.16, our ratio of debt to total enterprise value was approximately 30% as of September 30, 2011. Our total enterprise value is defined as the sum of the market value of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s outstanding common stock (which may decrease, thereby increasing our debt to total enterprise value ratio), excluding options issued under our company’s incentive award plan, plus the liquidation value of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s preferred stock, plus the aggregate value of our operating partnership’s units not held by Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (with the per unit value equal to the market value of one share of its common stock and excluding long-term incentive units and Class C units), plus the book value of our total consolidated indebtedness.

49

Revenue base. As of September 30, 2011, we owned 98 properties through our operating partnership, excluding two properties held as investments in unconsolidated joint ventures. These properties are mainly located throughout the U.S., with 15 properties located in Europe, one property in Asia and one property in Canada. We, through our predecessor, acquired our first portfolio property in January 2002 and have added properties as follows:

(1) Excludes properties sold in 2007 and 2006: 100 Technology Center Drive (March 2007), 4055 Valley View Lane (March 2007) and 7979 East Tufts Avenue (July 2006). Also excludes a leasehold interest acquired in March 2007 related to an acquisition made in 2006.

(2) Current net rentable square feet as of September 30, 2011, which represents the current square feet at buildings under lease as specified in the applicable lease agreements plus management’s estimate of space available for lease based on engineering drawings. Includes tenants’ proportional share of common areas but excludes space held for redevelopment.

(3) Redevelopment space is unoccupied space that requires significant capital investment in order to develop datacenter facilities that are ready for use. Most often this is shell space. However, in certain circumstances this may include partially built datacenter space that was not completed by previous ownership and requires a large capital investment in order to build out the space. The amounts included in this table represent redevelopment space as of September 30, 2011 in the properties acquired during the relevant period.

(4) Includes three developed buildings (43915 Devin Shafron Drive, 43830 Devin Shafron Drive and 43790 Devin Shafron Drive) placed into service in 2010 and 2011 that are being included with a property (Devin Shafron buildings) that was acquired in 2007.

As of September 30, 2011, the properties in our portfolio were approximately 93.7% leased excluding 2.1 million square feet held for redevelopment. Due to the capital-intensive and long-term nature of the operations being supported, our lease terms are generally longer than standard commercial leases. As of September 30, 2011, our original average lease term was approximately 14 years, with an average of approximately seven years remaining. The majority of our leasing since the completion of our IPO has been at lease terms shorter than 12 years. Our leases expiring on or before December 31, 2012 consist of 3.5% of our net rentable square feet excluding space held for redevelopment as of September 30, 2011.

Operating revenues from properties outside the United States were $28.8 million and $23.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $82.1 million and $69.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Factors Which May Influence Future Results of Operations

Global market and economic conditions

In the United States and globally, market and economic conditions have been unprecedented over the past few years and challenging with tighter credit conditions and slower economic growth in all markets in which we own properties and conduct our operations. The U.S. and global economies have experienced a recession and face continued concerns about the systemic impact of adverse economic conditions, such as potential defaults on sovereign debt by Greece and other European countries, high energy costs, geopolitical issues, the availability and cost of credit, unstable global financial and mortgage markets, high corporate, consumer and governmental debt levels, high unemployment and declining residential and commercial real estate markets. Additionally, further downgrades of federal, state and foreign governmental credit ratings, or any defaults on debt by governmental entities could exacerbate existing financial turmoil and uncertainty.

50

As a result of these conditions, general economic conditions and the cost and availability of capital have been and may again be adversely affected in some or all of the markets in which we own properties and conduct our operations. The recent increased turbulence in the U.S., European and other international financial markets and economies resulting from European sovereign debt crisis may adversely affect our ability, and the ability of our tenants, to replace or renew maturing liabilities on a timely basis, access the capital markets to meet liquidity and capital expenditure requirements and may result in adverse effects on our, and our tenants’, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, our access to funds under our revolving credit facilities and other lines of credit depend on the ability of the lenders that are parties to such facilities to meet their funding commitments to us. We cannot assure you that long-term disruptions in the global economy and the return of tighter credit conditions among, and potential failures or nationalizations of, third party financial institutions as a result of such disruptions will not have an adverse effect on our lenders. If our lenders are not able to meet their funding commitments to us, our business, results of operation, cash flows and financial condition could be adversely affected.

If we do not have sufficient cash flow to continue operating our business and are unable to borrow additional funds, access our existing lines of credit or raise equity or debt capital, we may need to find alternative ways to increase our liquidity. Such alternatives may include, without limitation, curtailing development or redevelopment activity, disposing of one or more of our properties possibly on disadvantageous terms or entering into or renewing leases on less favorable terms than we otherwise would.

Rental income. The amount of rental income generated by the properties in our portfolio depends principally on our ability to maintain or improve the occupancy rates of currently leased space and to lease currently available space and space available from lease terminations. Excluding 2.1 million square feet held for redevelopment, as of September 30, 2011, the occupancy rate of the properties in our portfolio was approximately 93.7% of our net rentable square feet.

As of September 30, 2011, we had 1,586 leases with a total of 532 tenants. As of September 30, 2011, approximately 92% of our leases (on a rentable square footage basis) contained base rent escalations that were either fixed or indexed based on a consumer price index or other similar inflation related index. We cannot assure you that these escalations will cover any increases in our costs or will otherwise keep rental rates at or above market rates.

The amount of rental income generated by us also depends on our ability to maintain or increase rental rates at our properties. Included in our approximately 15.3 million net rentable square feet, excluding redevelopment space, at September 30, 2011 is approximately 184,000 net rentable square feet of space with extensive datacenter improvements that is currently, or will shortly be, available for lease. Since our IPO, we have leased approximately 2,669,000 square feet of similar space. These Turn-Key Datacenters^® are effective solutions for tenants who lack the expertise or capital budget to provide their own extensive datacenter infrastructure and security. Our expertise in datacenter construction and operations enables us to lease space to these tenants at a significant premium over other uses. In addition, as of September 30, 2011, we had approximately 2.1 million square feet of redevelopment space, or approximately 12% of the total rentable space in our portfolio, including four vacant properties comprising approximately 485,000 square feet. Our ability to grow earnings depends in part on our ability to redevelop space and lease redevelopment space at favorable rates, which we may not be able to obtain. Redevelopment space requires significant capital investment in order to develop datacenter facilities that are ready for use and, in addition, we may require additional time or encounter delays in securing tenants for redevelopment space. We may purchase additional vacant properties and properties with vacant redevelopment space in the future. We will require additional capital to finance our redevelopment activities, which may not be available or may not be available on terms acceptable to us, including as a result of the conditions described above under “Global market and economic conditions.”

Economic downturns, including as a result of the conditions described above under “Global market and economic conditions,” or regional downturns affecting our sub-markets or downturns in the technology-related real estate industry that impair our ability to lease or renew or re-lease space, or otherwise reduce returns on our investments or the ability of our tenants to fulfill their lease commitments, as in the case of tenant bankruptcies, could adversely affect our ability to maintain or increase rental rates at our properties. On September 6, 2011, Solyndra, Inc., which subleased space from our direct tenant in one of our buildings, adjacent to Solyndra’s newly constructed facility, filed for bankruptcy. The sublease expired on September 29, 2011 and Solyndra became our direct tenant under a new lease commencing on September 30, 2011 at an initial monthly cash base rent of approximately $345,500.

Scheduled lease expirations. Our ability to re-lease expiring space at rental rates equal to or in excess of current rental rates will impact our results of operations. In addition to approximately 1.0 million square feet of available space in our portfolio, which excludes approximately 2.1 million square feet available for redevelopment as of September 30, 2011, leases representing approximately 0.9% and 2.6% of the net rentable square footage of our portfolio are scheduled to expire during the three months ending December 31, 2011 and for the year ending December 31, 2012, respectively.

51

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we signed new leases totaling approximately 760,000 square feet of space and renewal leases totaling approximately 1,164,000 square feet of space. The following table summarizes our leasing activity in the nine months ended September 30, 2011:

	Number of Leases (1)		Net Rentable Square Feet (2)		Expiring Rental Rate per Square Foot (3)		New Rental Rate per Square Foot (3)		Rental Rate % Change			Tenant Improvements/ Lease Commissions per Square Foot (4)		Weighted Average Lease Term (months)

(1) The number of leases represents the leased-unit count; a lease could include multiple units.

(2) For some of our properties, we calculate square footage based on factors in addition to contractually leased square feet, including power, required support space and common area.

(3) Rental rates represent annual estimated cash rent per rentable square foot adjusted for straight-line rents in accordance with GAAP. GAAP rental rates are inclusive of tenant concessions, if any.

(4) Tenant Improvements/Lease Commissions for Powered Base Building leases excludes one tenant improvement allowance that has not yet been finalized. The final tenant improvement allowance amount will depend on actual costs incurred. When the tenant improvement allowance is finalized, fixed rent will be amended and will be incremental to the New Rental Rate per Square Foot reported above.

(5) Excludes 111 colocation leases signed for 60,732 rentable square feet at an average rate of $176.25 per square foot. Re-leases are not included.

(6) Excludes four datacenter master leases signed for 34,193 rentable square feet, which were partially occupied by other customers, at an average rate of $84.27 per square foot.

Our ability to re-lease or renew expiring space at rental rates equal to or in excess of current rental rates will impact our results of operations. We continue to see strong demand in most of our key markets for datacenter space and expect the rental rates we are likely to achieve on any new (re-leased) or renewed datacenter space leases for 2011 expirations will generally be higher than the rates currently being paid for the same space. Our past performance may not be indicative of future results, and we cannot assure you that leases will be renewed or that our properties will be re-leased at all or at rental rates equal to or above the current average rental rates. Further, re-leased/renewed rental rates in a particular market may not be consistent with rental rates across our portfolio as a whole due to a number of factors, including local real estate conditions, local supply and demand for datacenter space, the condition of the property and whether the property, or space within the property, has been redeveloped.

52

Market concentration. We depend on the market for technology-based real estate in specific geographic regions and significant changes in these regional markets can impact our future results. As of September 30, 2011, our portfolio was geographically concentrated in the following metropolitan markets:

Metropolitan Market	Percentage of September 30, 2011 total annualized rent (1)
Silicon Valley		13.7	%
Northern Virginia		10.7	%
New York Metro		9.6	%
San Francisco		9.5	%
Chicago		9.5	%
Dallas		9.0	%
Phoenix		8.8	%
Boston		5.9	%
Los Angeles		4.9	%
London, England		4.0	%
Dublin, Ireland		2.7	%
Paris, France		2.4	%
Other		9.3	%
		100.0	%

(1) Annualized base rent represents the monthly contractual base rent (defined as cash base rent before abatements) under existing leases as of September 30, 2011 multiplied by 12.

Operating expenses. Our operating expenses generally consist of utilities, property and ad valorem taxes, property management fees, insurance and site maintenance costs, as well as rental expenses on our ground and building leases. In particular, our buildings require significant power to support the datacenter operations contained in them. Many of our leases contain provisions under which the tenants reimburse us for a portion of property operating expenses and real estate taxes incurred by us. However, we generally are not entitled to reimbursement of property operating expenses and real estate taxes under our leases for Turn-Key Datacenters^®. We also incur general and administrative expenses, including expenses relating to our asset management function, as well as significant legal, accounting and other expenses related to corporate governance, SEC reporting and compliance with the various provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Increases or decreases in such operating expenses will impact our overall performance. We expect to incur additional operating expenses as we continue to expand.

Climate change legislation. In June 2009, the U.S. House of Representatives approved comprehensive clean energy and climate change legislation intended to cut greenhouse gas, or GHG, emissions, create new clean energy jobs and enhance the energy independence of the United States, which included a cap-and-trade program for GHG emissions. The U.S. Senate did not subsequently pass similar legislation and following Congressional elections in November 2010 (in which control of the House of Representatives passed from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party), the likelihood that Congress will pass any climate change and/or energy legislation that would include a cap-and-trade program, or any similar type program, for GHG emissions in 2011 or 2012 has diminished. As a result, action to reduce GHG emissions likely will be focused on regulatory agencies, primarily the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, and state actions. The EPA has been moving aggressively to regulate GHG emissions from automobiles and large stationary sources, including electricity producers, using its own authority under the Clean Air Act. Some of those regulations have been finalized and currently are in litigation. States have also taken actions to regulate GHG emissions. For example, California enacted AB 32, the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, which established the first statewide program in the United States to limit GHG emissions and impose penalties for non-compliance. The California Air Resources Board, or CARB, has taken, and plans to take, various actions to implement AB 32, including the approval in December 2008 of an AB 32 Scoping Plan summarizing a number of GHG-reduction strategies for California. CARB approved in December 2010 and revised in October 2011 a GHG cap-and-trade program, which is scheduled to require certain generators and importers of electricity, as well as other entities, to obtain compliance instruments beginning in 2013. As another example of state action, the Western Climate Initiative, which currently includes seven states

53

and four Canadian provinces, has developed GHG reduction strategies, among them a GHG cap-and-trade program. In addition, since 2005 the European Union (including the United Kingdom) has been operating under a cap-and-trade program, which directly affects the largest emitters of greenhouse gases, including electricity producers from whom we purchase power. Any additional taxation or regulation of energy use, including as a result of (i) new legislation that Congress may pass, (ii) the regulations that the U.S. EPA has proposed or finalized, (iii) regulations under legislation that states have passed or may pass, or (iv) any further reductions in the EU greenhouse gas cap could significantly increase our costs, and we may not be able to effectively pass all of these costs on to our tenants.

Interest rates. As of September 30, 2011, we had approximately $252.5 million of variable rate debt, all of which was mortgage debt subject to interest rate cap or swap agreements, and $163.1 million of variable rate debt was outstanding on the revolving credit facilities. The availability of debt and equity capital may decrease as a result of the circumstances described above under “Global market and economic conditions.” The effects on commercial real estate mortgages, if available, include, but may not be limited to: higher loan spreads, tightened loan covenants, reduced loan to value ratios resulting in lower borrower proceeds and higher principal payments. Potential future increases in interest rates and credit spreads may increase our interest expense and fixed charges and negatively affect our financial condition and results of operations, potentially impacting our future access to the debt and equity capital markets. Increased interest rates may also increase the risk that the counterparties to our swap agreements will default on their obligations, which could further increase our interest expense. If we cannot obtain capital from third party sources, we may not be able to acquire or develop properties when strategic opportunities exist, satisfy our debt service obligations or pay the cash dividends to Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s stockholders necessary to maintain its qualification as a REIT.

Demand for datacenter space. Our portfolio of properties consists primarily of technology-related real estate and datacenter real estate in particular. A decrease in the demand for, or increase in supply of, datacenter space, Internet gateway facilities or other technology-related real estate would have a greater adverse effect on our business and financial condition than if we owned a portfolio with a more diversified tenant base or less specialized use. Our redevelopment activities make us particularly susceptible to general economic slowdowns, including recessions and the other circumstances described above under “Global market and economic conditions,” as well as adverse developments in the corporate datacenter, Internet and data communications and broader technology industries. Any such slowdown or adverse development could lead to reduced corporate IT spending or reduced demand for datacenter space. Reduced demand could also result from business relocations, including to markets that we do not currently serve. Changes in industry practice or in technology, such as virtualization technology, more efficient computing or networking devices, or devices that require higher power densities than today’s devices, could also reduce demand for the physical datacenter space we provide or make the tenant improvements in our facilities obsolete or in need of significant upgrades to remain viable. In addition, the development of new technologies, the adoption of new industry standards or other factors could render many of our tenants’ current products and services obsolete or unmarketable and contribute to a downturn in their businesses, thereby increasing the likelihood that they default under their leases, become insolvent or file for bankruptcy. In addition, demand for datacenter space in our properties, or the rates at which we lease space, may be adversely impacted either across our portfolio or in specific submarkets as a result of an increase in the number of competitors, or the amount of space being offered in our markets and other markets by our competitors.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses in the reporting period. Our actual results may differ from these estimates. We have provided a summary of our significant accounting policies in note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report. We describe below those accounting policies that require material subjective or complex judgments and that have the most significant impact on our financial condition and consolidated results of operations. Our management evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis, based upon information currently available and on various assumptions management believes are reasonable as of the date on the front cover of this report.

Investments in Real Estate

Acquisition of real estate. The price that we pay to acquire a property is impacted by many factors including the condition of the property and improvements, the occupancy of the building, the existence of above and below market tenant leases, the creditworthiness of the tenants, favorable or unfavorable financing, above or below market ground leases and numerous other factors.

54

Accordingly, we are required to make subjective assessments to allocate the purchase price paid to acquire investments in real estate among the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on our estimate of the fair values of such assets and liabilities. This includes determining the value of the property and improvements, land, any ground leases, tenant improvements, in-place tenant leases, tenant relationships, the value (or negative value) of above (or below) market leases, any debt or deferred taxes assumed from the seller or loans made by the seller to us and any building leases assumed from the seller. Each of these estimates requires a great deal of judgment and some of the estimates involve complex calculations. These allocation assessments have a direct impact on our results of operations. For example, if we were to allocate more value to land, there would be no depreciation with respect to such amount. If we were to allocate more value to the property as opposed to allocating to the value of in-place tenant leases, this amount would be recognized as an expense over a much longer period of time. This potential effect occurs because the amounts allocated to property are depreciated over the estimated lives of the property whereas amounts allocated to in-place tenant leases are amortized over the estimated term (including renewal and extension assumptions) of the leases. Additionally, the amortization of the value (or negative value) assigned to above (or below) market rate leases is recorded as an adjustment to rental revenue as compared to amortization of the value of in-place tenant leases and tenant relationships, which is included in depreciation and amortization in our consolidated statements of operations.

Capitalization of Costs. Direct and indirect project costs that are clearly associated with the development and redevelopment of properties are capitalized as incurred. Project costs include all costs directly associated with the development or redevelopment of a property, including construction costs, interest, property taxes, insurance, legal fees and costs of personnel working on the project. Indirect costs that do not clearly relate to the projects under development/redevelopment are not capitalized and are charged to expense as incurred.

Capitalization of costs begins when activities, including development of plans, process of obtaining permits from governmental authorities and physical construction, that are necessary to get the asset ready for its intended use are in progress and costs have been incurred. Capitalization of costs ceases when the development/redevelopment project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Determining when a development/redevelopment project commences, and when it is substantially complete and ready for its intended use involves a degree of judgment. We generally consider a development/redevelopment project to be substantially complete and ready for its intended use upon recommissioning, which is when the redeveloped/developed project has been tested at full load, or receipt of a certificate of occupancy. We cease cost capitalization if activities necessary for the development/redevelopment of the property have been suspended. Capitalized costs are allocated to the specific components of a project that are benefited.

Useful lives of assets. We are required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of our properties for purposes of determining the amount of depreciation to record on an annual basis with respect to our investments in real estate. These assessments have a direct impact on our net income because if we were to shorten the expected useful lives of our investments in real estate we would depreciate such investments over fewer years, resulting in more depreciation expense and lower net income on an annual basis.

Asset impairment evaluation. We review each of our properties for indicators that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. Examples of such indicators may include a significant decrease in the market price of the property, a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which the property is being used in its physical condition or expected to be used based on the underwriting at the time of acquisition, an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or development of the property, or a history of operating or cash flow losses of the property. When such impairment indictors exist, we review an estimate of the future cash flows (excluding interest charges) expected to result from the real estate investment’s use and eventual disposition and compare that estimate to the carrying value of the property. We consider factors such as future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If our undiscounted net cash flow evaluation indicates that we are unable to recover the carrying value of a real estate investment, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property. These losses have a direct impact on our net income because recording an impairment loss results in an immediate negative adjustment to net income. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results in future periods. Since cash flows on properties considered to be long-lived assets to be held and used are considered on an undiscounted basis to determine whether the carrying value of a property is recoverable, our strategy of holding properties over the long-term directly decreases the likelihood of their carrying values not being recoverable and therefore requiring the recording of an impairment loss. If our strategy changes or market conditions otherwise dictate an earlier sale date, an impairment loss may be recognized and such loss could be material. If we determine that the asset fails the recoverability test, the affected assets must be reduced to their fair value. No such impairment losses have been recognized to date.

55

We generally estimate the fair value of rental properties utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis that includes projections of future revenues, expenses and capital improvement costs that a market participant would use based on the highest and best use of the asset, which is similar to the income approach that is commonly utilized by appraisers.

Revenue Recognition

Rental income is recognized using the straight-line method over the terms of the tenant leases. Deferred rents included in our consolidated balance sheets represent the aggregate excess of rental revenue recognized on a straight-line basis over the contractual rental payments under the terms of the leases. Many of our leases contain provisions under which the tenants reimburse us for a portion of property operating expenses and real estate taxes incurred by us. However, we generally are not entitled to reimbursement of property operating expenses, other than utility expense, and real estate taxes under our leases for Turn-Key Datacenters^®. Such reimbursements are recognized in the period that the expenses are incurred. Lease termination fees are recognized over the remaining term of the lease, effective as of the date the lease modification is finalized, assuming collection is not considered doubtful. As discussed above, we recognize amortization of the value of acquired above or below market tenant leases as a reduction of rental income in the case of above market leases or an increase to rental revenue in the case of below market leases.

We must make subjective estimates as to when our revenue is earned and the collectability of our accounts receivable related to minimum rent, deferred rent, expense reimbursements, lease termination fees and other income. We specifically analyze accounts receivable and historical bad debts, tenant concentrations, tenant creditworthiness and current economic trends when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for bad debts. These estimates have a direct impact on our net income because a higher bad debt allowance would result in lower net income, and recognizing rental revenue as earned in one period versus another would result in higher or lower net income for a particular period.

Share-based Awards

We recognize compensation expense related to share-based awards. We generally amortize this compensation expense over the vesting period of the award. The calculation of the fair value of share-based awards is subjective and requires several assumptions over such items as expected stock volatility, dividend payments and future company results. These assumptions have a direct impact on our net income because a higher share-based awards amount would result in lower net income for a particular period.

Our property portfolio has experienced significant growth since our first property acquisition in January 2002. As a result of this growth, our period-to-period comparison of our financial performance focuses on the impact on our revenues and expenses resulting both from the new property additions to our portfolio, as well as on a “same store” property basis (same store properties are properties that were owned and operated for the entire current period and the entire immediate preceding year). The following table identifies each of the properties in our portfolio acquired from January 1, 2010 through September 30, 2011.

(1) Redevelopment space requires significant capital investment in order to develop datacenter facilities that are ready for use. Most often this is shell space. However, in certain circumstances this may include partially built datacenter space that was not completed by previous ownership and requires a large capital investment in order to build out the space.

(2) Net rentable square feet at a building represents the current square feet at that building under lease as specified in the lease agreements plus management’s estimate of space available for lease based on engineering drawings. Net rentable square feet includes tenants’ proportional share of common areas but excludes space held for redevelopment.

(3) Occupancy rates exclude redevelopment space. For some of our properties, we calculate occupancy based on factors in addition to contractually leased square feet, including available power, required support space and common area.

(4) Represents three developed buildings placed into service in 2010 and 2011 that are being included with a property (Devin Shafron buildings) that was acquired in 2007.

In May 2008, we acquired 701 & 717 Leonard Street, a parking garage in Dallas, Texas; however, we exclude the acquisition from our property count because it is located adjacent to our internet gateway datacenter located at 2323 Bryan Street and is not considered a separate property.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2011 to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2010 and the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010

Portfolio

As of September 30, 2011, our portfolio consisted of 98 properties, excluding two properties held as investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, with an aggregate of 17.4 million net rentable square feet including 2.1 million square feet held for redevelopment compared to a portfolio consisting of 95 properties, excluding two properties held as investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, with an aggregate of 16.4 million net rentable square feet including 1.9 million square feet held for redevelopment as of September 30, 2010. The increase in our portfolio reflects the acquisition of three properties in the twelve months ended September 30, 2011.

As shown by the same store and new properties table below, the increases in rental revenues and tenant reimbursement revenues for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same periods in 2010 were primarily due to new leasing at our same store properties and acquisition of properties. We acquired three properties during the twelve months ended September 30, 2011.

The following table shows operating revenues for new properties (properties that were acquired after December 31, 2009) and same store properties (all other properties) (in thousands):

Same store rental revenues increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same periods in 2010 primarily as a result of new leases at our properties during the twelve months ended September 30, 2011 due to strong demand for datacenter space, including leases of completed redevelopment space, the largest of which was for space in 43915 Devin Shafron Drive, 365 South Randolphville Road, 3 St. Anne’s Boulevard, 1232 Alma Road and 111 8^th Avenue (2^nd and 6^th floors). Rental revenue included amounts earned from leases with tel(x) and SoftLayer, both related parties, of approximately $16.1 million and $8.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and approximately $42.5 million and $19.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. In September 2011, tel(x) was sold to an unrelated third party. Same store tenant reimbursement revenues increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the same periods in 2010 primarily as a result of new leasing and higher utility and operating expenses being billed to our tenants, the largest occurrences of which were at 43915 Devin Shafron Drive, Unit 9, Blanchardstown Corporate Park, 4849 Alpha Road and 3 Corporate Place.

58

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, construction management fees from our Digital Design Services product, formerly known as POD Architecture services, together with rental revenues from 2121 South Price Road, 365 Main Street, 720 2^nd Street and 2260 East El Segundo Boulevard, contributed $13.2 million, or approximately 58%, and $89.5 million, or approximately 74%, respectively, of the new properties increase in total revenues compared to the same periods in 2010.

Same store rental property operating and maintenance expenses increased in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same periods in 2010 primarily as a result of higher utility rates in several of our properties along with redevelopment projects being placed into service leading to higher utility expense in 2011. We capitalized amounts relating to compensation expense of employees directly engaged in construction and leasing activities of $6.5 million and $4.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $18.8 million and $13.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Same store depreciation and amortization expense increased in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same periods in 2010, principally because of depreciation of redevelopment projects that were placed into service in the final three months of 2010 and during 2011.

General and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased compared to the same periods in 2010 primarily due to the growth of our company, which resulted in more employees, additional incentive compensation, and higher professional fees and marketing expenses.

Same store interest expense increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the same periods in 2010 primarily as a result of higher average outstanding debt balances during 2011 compared to 2010 primarily due to the issuance of our 5.875% Notes due 2020, the issuance of our 4.50% Notes due 2015, the issuance of our 5.250% Notes due 2021 and draws on our Prudential shelf facility. During the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, we capitalized interest of approximately $4.8 million and $2.7 million, respectively, and $13.6 million and $7.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

New properties increases were primarily caused by properties acquired during the period from January 1, 2010 to September 30, 2011. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, construction management costs related to our Digital Design Services product, formerly known as POD Architecture services, together with expenses related to 2121 South Price Road, 365 Main Street, 720 2^nd Street and 2260 East El Segundo Boulevard, contributed $9.5 million, or approximately 61%, and $65.2 million, or approximately 78%, respectively, of the new properties increase in total operating expenses compared to the same periods in 2010.

Transactions expense decreased in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same periods in 2010, principally because of higher expenses related to the acquisitions of the New England Portfolio and 365 Main Portfolio in 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources of the Parent Company

In this “Liquidity and Capital Resources of the Parent Company” section and in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources of the Operating Partnership” section below, the term our “parent company” refers to Digital Realty Trust, Inc. on an unconsolidated basis, excluding our operating partnership.

Analysis of Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our parent company’s business is operated primarily through our operating partnership of which our parent company is the sole general partner and which it consolidates for financial reporting purposes. Because our parent company operates on a consolidated basis with our operating partnership, the section entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources of the Operating Partnership” should be read in conjunction with this section to understand the liquidity and capital resources of our parent company on a consolidated basis and how our company is operated as a whole.

Our parent company issues public equity from time to time, but does not otherwise generate any capital itself or conduct any business itself, other than incurring certain expenses in operating as a public company which are fully reimbursed by the operating partnership. Our parent company itself does not hold any indebtedness other than guarantees of some of the indebtedness of our operating partnership, and its only material asset is its ownership of partnership interests of our operating partnership. Therefore, the consolidated assets and liabilities and the consolidated revenues and expenses of our parent company and our operating partnership are the same on their respective financial statements, except for immaterial differences related to cash, other assets and accrued liabilities that arise from public company expenses paid by our parent company. However, all debt is held directly or indirectly at the operating partnership level. Our parent company’s principal funding requirement is the payment of dividends on its common and preferred shares. Our parent company’s principal source of funding for its dividend payments is distributions it receives from our operating partnership.

As the sole general partner of our operating partnership, our parent company has the full, exclusive and complete responsibility for our operating partnership’s day-to-day management and control. Our parent company causes our operating partnership to distribute such portion of its available cash as our parent company may in its discretion determine, in the manner provided in our operating partnership’s partnership agreement. Our parent company receives proceeds from its equity issuances from time to time, but is generally required by our operating partnership’s partnership agreement to contribute the proceeds from its equity issuances to our operating partnership in exchange for partnership units of our operating partnership.

60

Our parent company is a well-known seasoned issuer with an effective shelf registration statement filed on May 1, 2009, as amended by Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 filed on November 15, 2010, that allows our parent company to register unspecified various classes of equity securities. As circumstances warrant, our parent company may issue equity from time to time on an opportunistic basis, dependent upon market conditions and available pricing. Any proceeds from such equity issuances would be generally contributed to our operating partnership in exchange for additional equity interests in our operating partnership. Our operating partnership may use the proceeds to acquire additional properties, to fund development and redevelopment opportunities and for general working capital purposes, including potentially for the repurchase, redemption or retirement of outstanding debt or preferred securities.

The liquidity of our parent company is dependent on our operating partnership’s ability to make sufficient distributions to our parent company. The primary cash requirement of our parent company is its payment of dividends to its stockholders. Our parent company also guarantees some of our operating partnership’s unsecured debt. If our operating partnership fails to fulfill its debt requirements, which trigger parent company guarantee obligations, then our parent company will be required to fulfill its cash payment commitments under such guarantees. However, our parent company’s only asset is its investment in our operating partnership.

We believe our operating partnership’s sources of working capital, specifically its cash flow from operations, and borrowings available under its unsecured revolving credit facilities are adequate for it to make its distribution payments to our parent company and, in turn, for our parent company to make its dividend payments to its stockholders. However, we cannot assure you that our operating partnership’s sources of capital will continue to be available at all or in amounts sufficient to meet its needs, including its ability to make distribution payments to our parent company. The unavailability of capital could adversely affect our operating partnership’s ability to pay its distributions to our parent company, which would in turn, adversely affect our parent company’s ability to pay cash dividends to its stockholders.

In June 2011, our parent company completed its previous At-the-Market equity distribution program, under which it sold 6,790,653 shares of its common stock for gross proceeds of $400.0 million, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $394.0 million after deducting commissions and before offering expenses. Our parent company used the proceeds from the sale of shares pursuant to the program to temporarily repay borrowings under our operating partnership’s corporate revolving credit facility, to acquire additional properties, to fund development and redevelopment opportunities and for general corporate purposes, including potentially the repayment or repurchase of outstanding debt. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, our parent company generated net proceeds of approximately $176.9 million from the issuance of approximately 3.0 million common shares under the program at an average price of $60.51 per share after payment of approximately $2.7 million of commissions to the sales agents. The proceeds from the issuances were contributed to our operating partnership in exchange for the issuance of approximately 3.0 million common units to our parent company. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, our parent company generated net proceeds of approximately $86.9 million and $154.4 million, respectively, from the issuance of approximately 1.5 million and 2.8 million common shares, respectively, under the program at an average price of $60.40 and $56.35 per share, respectively, after payment of approximately $1.3 million and $2.4 million, respectively, of commissions to the sales agents. The proceeds from the issuances were contributed to our operating partnership in exchange for the issuance of approximately 1.5 million and 2.8 million common units, respectively, to our parent company.

On June 29, 2011, our parent company commenced a new At-the-Market equity distribution program under which it can issue and sell up to $400.0 million of its common stock through, at its discretion, any of Merrill Lynch, Pierce Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC as its sales agents. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, our parent company generated net proceeds of approximately $237.6 million from the issuance of approximately 4.1 million common shares under the program at an average price of $58.38 per share after payment of approximately $2.4 million of commissions to the sales agents. The proceeds from the issuances were contributed to our operating partnership in exchange for the issuance of approximately 4.1 million common units to our parent company. Our parent company intends to use the net proceeds from the program to temporarily repay borrowings under our operating partnership’s corporate revolving credit facility, to acquire additional properties, to fund development and redevelopment opportunities and for general working capital purposes, including potentially for the repurchase, redemption or retirement of outstanding debt or preferred equity securities. The sales of common stock under the equity distribution program will be made in “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act.

61

On September 15, 2011, our parent company issued 11.5 million shares of 7.000% series E cumulative redeemable preferred stock for total net proceeds, after underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses, of $277.4 million, including the proceeds from the exercise in full of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. Our parent company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to temporarily repay borrowings under our operating partnership’s corporate revolving credit facility, to acquire additional properties, to fund development and redevelopment opportunities and for general working capital purposes including potentially for the repurchase, redemption or retirement of outstanding debt or preferred equity securities.

62

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, our operating partnership exchanged approximately $88.8 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.125% Exchangeable Senior Debentures, or the 2026 Debentures, for a combination of cash (approximately $100.5 million) and 1,087,820 restricted shares of our parent company’s common stock at the request of holders pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the 2026 Debentures. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we entered into agreements with institutional holders of approximately $62.2 million principal amount of the 2026 Debentures to exchange such debentures held by such holders for a combination of cash (approximately $1.0 million including accrued interest) and 1,957,419 privately issued shares of our parent company’s common stock. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we exchanged $250,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Debentures for approximately $0.4 million in cash and 682 restricted shares of our parent company’s common stock pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the 2026 Debentures. We funded these exchanges with available cash and/or borrowings under our operating partnership’s corporate revolving credit facility.

Future Uses of Cash

Our parent company may from time to time seek to retire, redeem or repurchase its preferred equity or the debt securities of our operating partnership through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, redemptions or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions or other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

We are also subject to the commitments discussed below under “Dividends and Distributions.”

Dividends and Distributions

Our parent company is required to distribute 90% of its taxable income (excluding capital gains) on an annual basis in order for it to continue to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, our parent company intends to make, but is not contractually bound to make, regular quarterly distributions to its preferred stockholders and common stockholders from cash flow from our operating partnership’s operating activities. All such distributions are at the discretion of our parent company’s board of directors. Our parent company considers market factors and our operating partnership’s performance in addition to REIT requirements in determining distribution levels. Our parent company has distributed 100% of its taxable income since inception to minimize corporate level federal income taxes. Amounts accumulated for distribution to stockholders are invested primarily in interest-bearing accounts and short-term interest-bearing securities, which are consistent with our intention to maintain our parent company’s status as a REIT. The exchange rate on the 2029 Debentures, the conversion rate on our parent company’s series C cumulative convertible preferred stock and the conversion rate on our parent company’s series D cumulative convertible preferred stock are each subject to adjustment for certain events, including, but not limited to, certain dividends on our parent company’s common stock in excess of $0.33 per share per quarter, $0.28625 per share per quarter and $0.31 per share per quarter, respectively. Therefore, the declaration and payment of quarterly dividends by our parent company in excess of these thresholds may increase the dilutive impact of our operating partnership’s exchangeable debentures and our parent company’s convertible preferred stock on our parent company’s common stockholders.

While historically our parent company has satisfied this distribution requirement by making cash distributions to its stockholders, it may choose to satisfy this requirement by making distributions of cash or other property, including, in limited circumstances, our parent company’s own shares. As a result of this distribution requirement, our operating partnership cannot rely on retained earnings to fund its on-going operations to the same extent that other companies whose parent companies are not REITs can. Our parent company may need to continue to raise capital in the equity markets to fund our operating partnership’s working capital needs, as well as potential developments at new or existing properties, acquisitions or investments in existing or newly created joint ventures. In addition, our parent company may be required to use borrowings under our operating partnership’s corporate revolving credit facility, if necessary, to meet REIT distribution requirements and maintain our parent company’s REIT status.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, our parent company declared the following dividends (in thousands):

Distributions out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits are generally classified as ordinary income whereas distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, to the extent of a stockholder’s U.S. federal income tax basis in our parent company’s stock, are generally classified as a return of capital. Distributions in excess of a stockholder’s U.S. federal income tax basis in our parent company’s stock are generally characterized as capital gain. Cash provided by operating activities has been sufficient to fund all distributions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources of the Operating Partnership

In this “Liquidity and Capital Resources of the Operating Partnership” section, the terms “we,” “our” and “us” refer to our operating partnership together with its consolidated subsidiaries or our operating partnership and our parent company together with their consolidated subsidiaries, as the context requires.

Analysis of Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our parent company is our sole general partner and consolidates our results of operations for financial reporting purposes. Because we operate on a consolidated basis with our parent company, the section entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources of the Parent Company” should be read in conjunction with this section to understand our liquidity and capital resources on a consolidated basis.

As of September 30, 2011, we had $38.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, excluding $55.2 million of restricted cash. Restricted cash primarily consists of interest-bearing cash deposits required by the terms of several of our mortgage loans for a variety of purposes, including real estate taxes, insurance, anticipated or contractually obligated tenant improvements, as well as capital expenditures.

Our short-term liquidity requirements primarily consist of operating expenses, redevelopment costs and other expenditures associated with our properties, distributions to our parent company in order for it to make dividend payments on its preferred stock, distributions to our parent company in order for it to make dividend payments to its stockholders required to maintain its REIT status, distributions to the unitholders in our operating partnership, capital expenditures, debt service on our loans and, potentially, acquisitions. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through net cash provided by operations, restricted cash accounts established for certain future payments and by drawing upon our revolving credit facilities.

As of September 30, 2011, our corporate revolving credit facility had a total capacity of $750.0 million. Effective August 31, 2011, we exercised the second and final one-year extension option to our corporate revolving credit facility, which extended its maturity date from August 31, 2011 to August 31, 2012. As of September 30, 2011, borrowings under the corporate revolving credit facility bore interest at a blended rate of 1.44% (U.S), 2.55% (Euro) and 1.88% (GBP), which are based on 1-month LIBOR, 1-month EURIBOR and 1-month GBP LIBOR, respectively, plus a margin of 1.20%. The corporate revolving credit facility has a $515.0 million sub-facility for multicurrency advances in British Pounds Sterling, Canadian Dollars, Euros, and Swiss Francs. We have used and intend to use available borrowings under the corporate revolving credit facility to, among other things, finance the acquisition of additional properties, fund tenant improvements and capital expenditures, fund development and redevelopment activities and to provide for working capital and other corporate purposes, including potentially for the repurchase, redemption or retirement of outstanding debt securities. As of September 30, 2011, approximately $148.8 million was drawn under this facility and $30.0 million of letters of credit were issued, leaving approximately $571.0 million available for use.

On August 18, 2011, Digital Singapore Jurong East Pte. Ltd., Digital Realty Datafirm, LLC and Digital Realty Datafirm 2, LLC, each a subsidiary of the operating partnership, as the initial borrowers, with the operating partnership, our parent company and the subsidiary guarantors named therein, as guarantors, the initial lenders and each swing line bank named therein, Citicorp International Ltd., as administrative agent, and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Singapore Pte Ltd., Bank of America, N.A., Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation and The Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, collectively as the coordinating banks, entered into a revolving credit agreement, which we refer to as the Asia Pacific revolving credit facility. The Asia Pacific revolving credit facility provides for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount of up to $55.6 million Australian Dollars (A$) and $50.0 million Singapore Dollars (S$) (an aggregate equivalent of approximately $100 million based on August 18, 2011 exchange rate) and matures in August 2012. In addition, we have the ability from time to time to increase the size of the Asia Pacific revolving credit facility to up to an aggregate amount of S$245.0 million (an equivalent of approximately $200 million based on the August 18, 2011 exchange rate), subject to receipt of lender commitments and other conditions precedent. Borrowings under the Asia Pacific revolving credit facility are guaranteed by our parent company, our operating partnership and certain of the operating partnership’s subsidiaries. We have used and intend to use available borrowings under the Asia Pacific revolving credit facility to, among other things, acquire additional properties, fund development opportunities and to provide for working capital and other general corporate purposes. As of

64

September 30, 2011, borrowings under the Asia Pacific revolving credit facility bore interest at a blended rate of 1.42% (Singapore) and 6.07% (Australia), which are based on 1-month SIBOR and 1-month BBR, respectively, plus a margin of 1.20%. As of September 30, 2011, S$17.5 million and A$1.0 million (an equivalent of approximately $14.4 million based on the September 30, 2011 exchange rate) was drawn under this facility.

For a discussion of the potential impact of current global economic and market conditions on our liquidity and capital resources, see “—Factors Which May Influence Future Results of Operations—Global market and economic conditions” above.

On March 8, 2011, we closed the issuance of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes. The purchase price paid by the initial purchasers was 99.775% of the principal amount thereof. The notes are our general unsecured senior obligations, rank equally in right of payment with all our other senior unsecured indebtedness and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by our parent company. Interest on the notes is payable on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on September 15, 2011. The net proceeds from the offering after deducting the original issue discount, underwriting commissions and estimated expenses was approximately $395.5 million. We used the net proceeds from the offering to temporarily repay borrowings under our corporate revolving credit facility, to acquire additional properties, to fund development and redevelopment opportunities and for general working capital purposes, including potentially for the repurchase, redemption or retirement of outstanding debt securities.

On April 15, 2011, we completed the acquisition of a 38.8 acre development site located contiguous to our datacenter campus in Ashburn, Virginia. The purchase price was $17.3 million. We funded the acquisition with borrowings under our corporate revolving credit facility.

In June 2011, our parent company completed its previous At-the-Market equity distribution program discussed under “Liquidity and Capital Resources of the Parent Company” above. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, our parent company generated net proceeds of approximately $176.9 million from the issuance of approximately 3.0 million common shares under the program at an average price of $60.51 per share after payment of approximately $2.7 million of commissions to the sales agents. The proceeds from the issuances were contributed to us in exchange for the issuance of approximately 3.0 million common units to our parent company. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, our parent company generated net proceeds of approximately $86.9 million and $154.4 million, respectively, from the issuance of approximately 1.5 million and 2.8 million common shares, respectively, under the program at an average price of $60.40 and $56.35 per share, respectively, after payment of approximately $1.3 million and $2.4 million, respectively, of commissions to the sales agents. The proceeds from the issuances were contributed to us in exchange for the issuance of approximately 1.5 million and 2.8 million common units, respectively, to our parent company.

On June 29, 2011, our parent company commenced its new At-the-Market equity distribution program discussed under “Liquidity and Capital Resources of the Parent Company” above. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, our parent company generated net proceeds of approximately $237.6 million from the issuance of approximately 4.1 million common shares under the program at an average price of $58.38 per share after payment of approximately $2.4 million of commissions to the sales agents. The proceeds from the issuances were contributed to us in exchange for the issuance of approximately 4.1 million common units to our parent company.

On June 24, 2011, we acquired the noncontrolling ownership interest in the entity that owns Datacenter Park Dallas, from our joint venture partner for $53.2 million (subject to adjustment in limited circumstances), resulting in full ownership by us. The 7-building development property is located in Richardson, Texas and totals approximately 796,000 square feet. During the second quarter of 2011, in connection with the acquisition of the noncontrolling ownership interest in Datacenter Park Dallas, we also repaid in full secured debt on the property for approximately $16.2 million. During the second quarter of 2011, we also prepaid the secured debt on the 3 Corporate Place property in Piscataway, New Jersey totaling approximately $80.0 million and paid at maturity the secured debt on the 6 Braham Street property in London, England totaling approximately $20.3 million. We financed these activities with borrowings under our corporate revolving credit facility.

On July 21, 2011, we completed the acquisition of an 8.6 acre development site in Sydney, Australia for a purchase price of approximately A$10.1 million (or $10.9 million based on the rate of exchange on July 21, 2011). We funded the acquisition with borrowings under our corporate revolving credit facility.

On July 26, 2011, we completed the acquisition of a redevelopment site in London, U.K. for a purchase price of £12.9 million (or $21.1 million based on the rate of exchange on July 26, 2011). We funded the acquisition with borrowings under our corporate revolving credit facility.

On August 19, 2011, we completed the acquisition of 162 and 163 Radnor Drive, a 30,250 square meter development site in Melbourne, Australia for a purchase price of approximately A$4.1 million (or $4.3 million based on the rate of exchange on August 19, 2011). We funded the acquisition with borrowings under our corporate revolving credit facility.

65

On September 23, 2011, we completed the acquisition of 11085 Sun Center Drive, a 69,000 square foot data center facility located in Rancho Cordova, a suburb of Sacramento, California for a purchase price of approximately $30.0 million. We funded the acquisition with borrowings under our corporate revolving credit facility.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we exchanged approximately $88.8 million aggregate principal amount of our 2026 Debentures for a combination of cash (approximately $100.5 million) and 1,087,820 restricted shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock at the request of holders pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing our 2026 Debentures. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we entered into agreements with institutional holders of approximately $62.2 million principal amount of our 2026 Debentures to exchange such debentures held by such holders for a combination of cash (approximately $1.0 million including accrued interest) and 1,957,419 privately issued shares of our parent company’s common stock. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we exchanged $250,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Debentures for approximately $0.4 million in cash and 682 restricted shares of our parent company’s common stock pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the 2026 Debentures. We funded these exchanges with available cash and/or borrowings under our corporate revolving credit facility.

Construction

As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, work in progress, including the proportionate land and property costs related to current construction projects, amounted to $259.4 million, or $333.8 million including construction accruals and certain capitalized costs, and $202.0 million, or $274.8 million including construction accruals and certain capitalized costs, respectively. Separately, our redevelopment program included the proportionate land and building costs related to other targeted projects in the amount of $148.7 million and $184.0 million as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Work in progress related to non-redevelopment projects, primarily tenant and building improvements, amounted to $13.3 million and $2.0 million as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Future Uses of Cash

Our properties require periodic investments of capital for tenant-related capital expenditures and for general capital improvements. As of September 30, 2011, we had approximately 2.1 million square feet of redevelopment space and we also owned approximately 184,000 net rentable square feet of Turn-Key Datacenter^® space with extensive installed tenant improvements that we may subdivide during the next two years rather than lease to large single tenants. Turn-Key Datacenter^® space is move-in-ready space for the placement of computer and network equipment required to provide a datacenter environment. Depending on demand for additional Turn-Key Datacenter^® and Powered Base Building^® space, we expect to incur significant tenant improvement costs to develop and redevelop these types of spaces. At September 30, 2011, approximately 1,145,000 square feet of space was under construction for Turn-Key Datacenter^®, Powered Base Building^® and Build-to-Suit product, all of which will be income producing when complete, in eight U.S. domestic markets, one European market and Singapore consisting of approximately 551,000 square feet of development projects and 594,000 square feet of redevelopment projects. At September 30, 2011, we had commitments under construction contracts for approximately $134.2 million. We currently expect to incur approximately $150.0 million to $200.0 million of capital expenditures for our development and redevelopment programs during the three months ended December 31, 2011, although this amount may increase or decrease, potentially materially, based on numerous factors, including changes in demand, leasing results and availability of debt or equity capital.

Historical Capital Expenditures

	Nine Months Ended
(In thousands)	September 30, 2011		September 30, 2010
Development projects	$	70,635	$	56,117
Redevelopment projects		327,574		122,264
Other capital expenditures		62,057		46,798
Total capital expenditures (excluding indirect costs)	$	460,266	$	225,179

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, total capital expenditures increased $235.1 million to $460.3 million from the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Our development capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were approximately $70.6 million, which reflects an increase of approximately 26% from the same period in 2010. This increase was primarily due to increased spending for Powered Base Building^® product and base building improvements for our Turn-Key Datacenter^® product. Our development capital expenditures are generally funded by our available cash and equity and debt capital. We also spent approximately $327.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 on

66

redevelopment projects, which reflects an increase of approximately 168% compared to the same period in 2010. This increase was primarily due to a general increase in the level of construction activity in the U.S., Europe and Singapore. Our redevelopment capital expenditures are generally funded by our available cash and equity and debt capital. Other capital expenditures include capitalized replacement and other projects relating to the existing operating portfolio and increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 primarily due to a general increase in the level of activity related to these projects.

Indirect costs, including capitalized interest, capitalized in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $32.4 million and $20.4 million, respectively. Capitalized interest comprised approximately $13.6 million and $7.1 million, respectively, of the total indirect costs capitalized for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. The increase in capitalized interest in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 was primarily due to an increase in the amount of capital expenditures in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Excluding capitalized interest, the increase in indirect costs in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 was primarily due to capitalized amounts relating to compensation expense of employees directly engaged in construction and leasing activities. See “—Future Uses of Cash” for a discussion of the amount of capital expenditures we expect to incur during the year ending December 31, 2011.

We are also subject to the commitments discussed below under “Commitments and Contingencies,” “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements” and “Distributions.”

Consistent with our growth strategy, we actively pursue opportunities for potential acquisitions, with due diligence and negotiations often at different stages at different times. The dollar value of additional acquisitions for the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2011 will be based on numerous factors, including tenant demand, leasing results, availability of debt or equity capital and acquisition opportunities.

We may from time to time seek to retire or repurchase our outstanding debt or the preferred equity of our parent company through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities of our parent company in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions or other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

67

We expect to meet our short-and long-term liquidity requirements, including to pay for scheduled debt maturities and to fund property acquisitions and non-recurring capital improvements, with net cash from operations, future long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness and the issuance of equity and debt securities and the proceeds of equity issuances by our parent company. We also may fund future short-and long-term liquidity requirements, including property acquisitions and non-recurring capital improvements, using our revolving credit facilities pending permanent financing. If we are not able to obtain additional financing on terms attractive to us, or at all, including as a result of the circumstances described above under “Factors Which May Influence Future Results of Operations—Global market and economic conditions,” we may be required to reduce our acquisition or capital expenditure plans, which could have a material adverse effect upon our business and results of operations.

Distributions

All distributions on our units are at the discretion of our parent company’s board of directors. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, our operating partnership declared the following distributions (in thousands):

Date distribution declared	Distribution payable date		Series C Preferred Units (1)		Series D Preferred Units (2)		Common Units  (3)
February 10, 2011		March 31, 2011	$	1,832	$	4,690	$	66,252

(1) $1.094 annual rate of distribution per unit.

(2) $1.375 annual rate of distribution per unit.

(3) $2.720 annual rate of distribution per unit.

Commitments and Contingencies

We have agreed with the seller of 350 East Cermak Road to share a portion, not to exceed $135,000 per month, of rental revenue, adjusted for our costs to lease the premises, from the leases of the 192,000 square feet of space held for redevelopment. This revenue sharing agreement will terminate in May 2012. We made payments of approximately $1.2 million and $4.2 million to the seller during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. We have recorded approximately $1.1 million and $2.3 million for this contingent liability on our consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

As part of the acquisition of Clonshaugh Industrial Estate I, we entered into an agreement with the seller whereby the seller is entitled to receive 40% of the net rental income generated by the existing building after we have received a 9% return on all capital invested in the property. As of February 6, 2006, the date we acquired this property, we have estimated the present value of these expected payments over the 10 year lease term to be approximately $1.1 million and this value has been recorded as a component of the purchase price. Accounts payable and other liabilities include $1.3 million for this liability as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. We made payments of $0.1 million to the seller during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

As part of the acquisition of 29A International Business Park, the seller could earn additional consideration based on future net operating income growth in excess of certain performance targets, as defined. As of September 30, 2011, construction is not complete and none of the leases executed subsequent to purchase would cause an amount to become probable of payment and therefore no amount is accrued as of September 30, 2011. The maximum amount that could be earned by the seller is S$50.0 million (or approximately $38.2 million based on the exchange rate as of September 30, 2011). The earnout contingency expires in November 2020.

As of September 30, 2011, we were a party to interest rate cap and swap agreements which hedge variability in cash flows related to LIBOR, GBP LIBOR and EURIBOR based mortgage loans. Under these swaps, we pay variable-rate amounts in exchange for fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying principal amounts. See Item 3 “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.”

Outstanding Consolidated Indebtedness

The table below summarizes our debt, as of September 30, 2011 (in millions):

Debt Summary:
Fixed rate	$	2,381.4
Variable rate debt subject to interest rate swaps and caps		252.5
Total fixed rate debt (including interest rate swaps and caps)		2,633.9

Fixed rate (including hedged variable rate debt)		5.54	%
Variable rate		1.68	%
Effective interest rate		5.33	%

(1) Excludes impact of deferred financing cost amortization.

As of September 30, 2011, we had approximately $2.8 billion of outstanding consolidated long-term debt as set forth in the table above. Our ratio of debt to total enterprise value was approximately 30% (based on the closing price of our parent company’s common stock on September 30, 2011 of $55.16). For this purpose, our total enterprise value is defined as the sum of the market value of our parent company’s outstanding common stock (which may decrease, thereby increasing our debt to total enterprise value ratio), excluding options issued under our incentive award plan, plus the liquidation value of our parent company’s preferred stock, plus the aggregate value of our operating partnership units not held by our parent company (with the per unit value equal to the market value of one share of our parent company’s common stock and excluding long-term incentive units and Class C Units), plus the book value of our total consolidated indebtedness.

The variable rate debt shown above bears interest at interest rates based on various LIBOR, GBP LIBOR, EURIBOR, SIBOR and BBR rates ranging from one to twelve months, depending on the respective agreement governing the debt. Assuming maturity of the 2029 Debentures at its first redemption date in April 2014, as of September 30, 2011, our debt had a weighted average term to initial maturity of approximately 5.0 years (approximately 5.0 years assuming exercise of extension options).

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2011, we were party to interest rate swap and cap agreements related to $252.5 million of outstanding principal on our variable rate debt. See Item 3 “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.”

Cash Flows

The following summary discussion of our cash flows is based on the consolidated statements of cash flows and is not meant to be an all-inclusive discussion of the changes in our cash flows for the periods presented below.

Comparison of Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010

The following table shows cash flows and ending cash and cash equivalent balances for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands):

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2011			2010			Change
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	280,098		$	240,321		$	39,777
Net cash used in investing activities		(591,685	)		(1,459,372	)		867,687
Net cash provided by financing activities		338,600			1,213,224			(874,624	)
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	27,013		$	(5,827	)	$	32,840

The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was due to increased cash flows from new leasing at our same store properties, completed and leased redevelopment space and our acquisition of new operating properties which was partially offset by increased operating and interest expenses. Net cash used in investing activities decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as we had a decrease in cash paid for acquisitions for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 ($86.6 million) as compared to in the same period in 2010 ($1.2 billion) partially offset by an increase in cash paid for capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 ($489.7 million) as compared to the same period in 2010 ($248.7 million).

Cash flows from financing activities for the company consisted of the following amounts (in thousands):

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2011			2010			Change
Proceeds from borrowings, net of repayments	$	(321,546	)	$	112,383		$	(433,929	)
Net proceeds from issuance of common stock and preferred stock, including exercise of stock options		695,061			536,381			158,680
Redemption of series A preferred stock		—			(103,500	)		103,500
Net proceeds from 2015 Notes		—			370,943			(370,943	)
Net proceeds from 2020 Notes		—			486,601			(486,601	)
Net proceeds from 2021 Notes		395,777			—			395,777
Principal payments on 2026 Debentures		(88,758	)		(250	)		(88,508	)
Purchase of noncontrolling interests in consolidated joint venture		(53,240	)		—			(53,240	)
Dividend and distribution payments		(276,957	)		(200,945	)		(76,012	)
Other		(11,737	)		11,611			(23,348	)
Net cash provided by financing activities	$	338,600		$	1,213,224		$	(874,624	)

The decrease in net cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to the issuance of our 2021 Notes (net proceeds of $395.8 million), common stock (net proceeds of $413.6 million) and preferred stock (net proceeds of $278.1 million) during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the issuance of our 2015 Notes (net proceeds of $370.9 million), 2020 Notes (net proceeds of $486.6 million) and common stock (net proceeds of $531.2 million) during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in dividend and distribution payments for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010 was a result of an increase in shares outstanding and dividend amount per share in 2011 as compared to 2010.

The decrease in net cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to the issuance of the 2021 Notes (net proceeds of $395.8 million) during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the issuance of the 2015 Notes (net proceeds of $370.9 million) and the 2020 Notes (net proceeds of $486.6 million) during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. General partner contributions were primarily related to the issuance of our operating partnership’s units to the company in connection with the company’s common stock and preferred stock offerings, including under the equity distribution programs. The increase in distribution payments for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010 was a result of an increase in units outstanding and distribution amount per unit in 2011 as compared to 2010.

Noncontrolling Interests in Operating Partnership

Noncontrolling interests relate to the common units in our operating partnership that are not owned by Digital Realty Trust, Inc., which, as of September 30, 2011, amounted to 4.6% of our operating partnership common units. In conjunction with our formation, GI Partners received common units, in exchange for contributing ownership interests in properties to our operating partnership. Also, our operating partnership issued common units to third party sellers in connection with our acquisition of real estate interests from such third parties.

Limited partners who acquired common units in connection with our formation have the right to require our operating partnership to redeem part or all of their common units for cash based upon the fair market value of an equivalent number of shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock at the time of the redemption. Alternatively, we may elect to acquire those common units in exchange for shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, issuance of stock rights, specified extraordinary distributions and similar events. Pursuant to registration rights agreements we entered into with GI Partners and the other third party contributors, we filed a shelf registration statement covering the issuance of the shares of our common stock issuable upon redemption of the common units, and the resale of those shares of common stock by the holders. As of March 31, 2007, GI Partners no longer had an ownership interest in our operating partnership.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU “) 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of shareholders’ equity and requires the presentation of components of net income and components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This pronouncement will be effective for us in the first quarter of 2012 and will not have a significant impact to our consolidated financial statements.

Inflation

Many of our leases provide for separate real estate tax and operating expense escalations. In addition, many of the leases provide for fixed base rent increases. We believe that inflationary increases may be at least partially offset by the contractual rent increases and expense escalations described above. See “Factors Which May Influence Future Results of Operations—Operating Expenses” for further discussion.

Funds from Operations

We calculate Funds from Operations, or FFO, in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT. FFO represents net income (loss) available to common stockholders and unitholders (computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Management uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of REITs, FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs. However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions, nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our financial condition and results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. Other REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs’ FFO. Accordingly, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Our future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments depend upon prevalent market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and only enter into contracts with major financial institutions based on their credit rating and other factors.

Analysis of Debt between Fixed and Variable Rate.

We use interest rate swap and cap agreements and fixed rate debt to reduce our exposure to interest rate movements. As of September 30, 2011, our consolidated debt was as follows (in millions):

	Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value
Fixed rate debt	$	2,381.4	$	2,627.3
Variable rate debt subject to interest rate swaps and caps		252.5		253.6
Total fixed rate debt (including interest rate swaps and caps)		2,633.9		2,880.9
Variable rate debt		163.1		163.1
Total outstanding debt	$	2,797.0	$	3,044.0

Sensitivity to Changes in Interest Rates.

The following table shows the effect if assumed changes in interest rates occurred:

Assumed event	Interest rate change (basis points)			Change ($ millions)
Increase in fair value of interest rate swaps and caps following an assumed 10% increase in interest rates		11		$	0.4
Decrease in fair value of interest rate swaps and caps following an assumed 10% decrease in interest rates		(11	)		(0.4	)
Increase in annual interest expense on our debt that is variable rate and not subject to swapped or capped interest following a 10% increase in interest rates		11			0.2
Decrease in annual interest expense on our debt that is variable rate and not subject to swapped or capped interest following a 10% decrease in interest rates		(11	)		(0.2	)
Increase in fair value of fixed rate debt following a 10% decrease in interest rates		(11	)		12.5
Decrease in fair value of fixed rate debt following a 10% increase in interest rates		11			(11.7	)

Interest risk amounts were determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our financial instruments. These analyses do not consider the effect of any change in overall economic activity that could occur in that environment. Further, in the event of a change of that magnitude, we may take actions to further mitigate our exposure to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, these analyses assume no changes in our financial structure.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, we had foreign operations in the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, The Netherlands, Switzerland, and Canada, as well as Singapore and Australia in the nine months ended September 30, 2011, and, as such, are subject to risk from the effects of exchange rate movements of foreign currencies, which may affect future costs and cash flows. Our foreign operations are conducted in the British Pound, Euro, Swiss Franc, Australian Dollar and the Singapore Dollar, except for our Canadian property for which the functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Our primary currency exposures are to the Euro and the British Pound. We attempt to mitigate a portion of the risk of currency fluctuation by financing our properties in the local currency denominations, although there can be no assurance that this will be effective. As a result, changes in the relation of any such foreign currency to U.S. dollars may affect our revenues, operating margins and distributions and may also affect the book value of our assets and the amount of stockholders’ equity. For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, operating revenues from properties outside the United States contributed $28.8 million and $23.9 million, respectively, which represented 10.5% and 10.1% of our operating revenues, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, operating revenues from properties outside the United States contributed $82.1 million and $69.4 million, respectively, which represented 10.4% and 11.1% of our operating revenues, respectively.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures (Digital Realty Trust, Inc.)

The company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to its management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, the company’s management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and its management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Also, the company has investments in certain unconsolidated entities, which are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. As the company does not control or manage these entities, its disclosure controls and procedures with respect to such entities may be substantially more limited than those it maintains with respect to its consolidated subsidiaries.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) or Rule 15d-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, management of the company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with participation of its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures that were in effect as of the end of the quarter covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, the company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer each concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

There have been no changes in the company’s internal control over financial reporting during its most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

Digital Realty Trust, Inc.

On September 6, 2011, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. issued 715,752 restricted shares of its common stock and our operating partnership paid approximately $48.3 million in cash to holders of our operating partnership’s 2026 Debentures in exchange for approximately $48.3 million in aggregate principal amount of our operating partnership’s 2026 Debentures at the request of holders pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the 2026 Debentures.

The shares were issued in transactions exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The issuance of the shares did not involve a public offering and was made without general solicitation or advertising. Each holder represented that, among other things, it is a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Digital Realty Trust, L.P.

On September 6, 2011, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. contributed an aggregate of 715,752 restricted shares of its common stock to our operating partnership, and our operating partnership delivered the shares and approximately $48.3 million in cash in exchange for approximately $48.3 million in aggregate principal amount of its 2026 Debentures at the request of holders pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the 2026 Debentures. Digital Realty Trust, Inc. contributed the shares to our operating partnership in exchange for an aggregate of 715,752 common units.

For the three months ended September 30, 2011, our operating partnership issued 4.1 million common units to Digital Realty Trust, Inc. in exchange for the contribution by Digital Realty Trust, Inc. to it of the net proceeds of approximately $237.6 million from Digital Realty Trust’s issuance of approximately 4.1 million common shares under its At-the-Market equity distribution program.

For the issuances of common units to Digital Realty Trust, Inc., our operating partnership relied on Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s status as a publicly traded NYSE-listed company with over $5 billion in total consolidated assets and as our operating partnership’s majority owner and general partner as the basis for the exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

Global Revolving Credit Facility

On November 3, 2011, the operating partnership together with its subsidiaries, Digital Realty Datafirm, LLC, Digital Realty Datafirm 2, LLC, Digital Luxembourg II S.a.r.l, Digital Luxembourg III S.a.r.l, Digital Realty (Paris 2) SCI, and Digital Singapore Jurong East Pte. Ltd, as borrowers, and Digital Realty Trust, Inc. together with the operating partnership as guarantors, the banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders listed therein, as the initial lenders, each issuing bank and swing line bank as listed therein, Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, Bank of America, N.A., as syndication agent, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as joint lead arrangers and joint book running managers, Credit Suisse AG, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Goldman Sachs Bank USA, JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A., Royal Bank of Canada and the Royal Bank of Scotland Plc, as co-documentation agents, and Barclays Bank Plc, Compass Bank, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, U.S. Bank National Association, The Bank of Nova Scotia and HSBC Bank USA, N.A., as senior managing agents, entered into a Global Senior Credit Agreement for a $1.5 billion unsecured revolving credit facility, which we refer to as the global revolving credit facility, that replaced the $750 million corporate revolving credit facility executed on August 31, 2007, as previously amended, and the $100 million US Dollar equivalent Asia Pacific revolving credit facility executed on August 18, 2011. The global revolving credit facility provides for borrowings in Australian Dollars, British Pounds Sterling, Canadian Dollars, Euros, Hong Kong Dollars, Japanese Yen, Singapore Dollars, Swiss Francs and US Dollars, and includes the ability to add additional currencies in the future. The global revolving credit facility matures in November 2015 with a one-year extension option. In addition, we have the ability from time to time to increase the size of the revolving credit facility to up to $2.25 billion, subject to receipt of lender commitments and other conditions precedent.

The interest rate for borrowings under the global revolving credit facility is, at the option of the borrower, based on a floating rate or base rate, plus a margin based on the credit rating of our long-term senior unsecured debt. As of November 7, 2011, the applicable rate for floating rate advances is the applicable index plus 125 basis points, and the applicable rate for base rate advances is the applicable index plus 25 basis points. An annual facility fee is payable quarterly in respect of the commitments under the global revolving credit facility, and is also subject to pricing based on the credit rating of our long-term senior unsecured debt, which, as of November 7, 2011, is 25 basis points. Under the global revolving credit facility, we also have the ability to make U.S. Dollar denominated competitive bid borrowings, which will bear interest at the rates offered by the lenders participating in such competitive bid advances. We are also required to pay certain fees to the administrative agent and letter of credit issuers under the global revolving credit facility. During the term of the global revolving credit facility, we may borrow, repay and re-borrow amounts available under the global revolving credit facility, subject to voluntary reduction of the swing line, letter of credit and revolving credit commitments.

Borrowings under the global revolving credit facility are guaranteed by Digital Realty Trust, Inc. and the operating partnership. In specified circumstances, additional guarantors may be added. The global revolving credit facility contains various restrictive covenants, including limitations on our ability to make certain investments or merge with another company, and requirements to maintain financial coverage ratios, including with respect to unencumbered assets. In addition, the global revolving credit facility restricts Digital Realty Trust, Inc. from making distributions to its stockholders, or redeeming or otherwise repurchasing shares of its capital stock, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an

78

event of default, except in limited circumstances including as necessary to enable Digital Realty Trust, Inc. to maintain its qualification as a REIT and to avoid the payment of income or excise tax.

In addition, the global revolving credit facility includes events (including, without limitation, a non-payment under the loan, a breach of warranties and representations in any material respect, non-compliance with covenants by a borrower, cross-defaults by a borrower or guarantor or a change of control) which, if not cured within the time period, if any, specified would constitute an event of default. Upon the occurrence and continuance of such events of default, the lenders holding more than a majority of the commitments and loans (including letter of credit advances) may elect to accelerate the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the global revolving credit facility. Further, outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest thereon automatically accelerate upon the entry of an order for relief with respect to any borrower under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law.

Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC are sales agents under Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s equity distribution agreements, pursuant to which it can issue and sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $400.0 million from time to time through them. An affiliate of Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. is a trustee for our 4.50% Notes due 2015 and our 5.250% Notes due 2021. In addition, as of September 30, 2011, affiliates of Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Goldman Sachs Bank USA, Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c., HSBC Bank, USA, Union Bank and The Royal Bank of Scotland PLC are tenants of ours or have signed leases with us.
