What Global Compute Infrastructure does

Global Compute Infrastructure (GCI) is a specialist data infrastructure investment management firm that develops, acquires, and operates data center assets globally. Formed in 2020 by former Digital Realty co-founders Scott Peterson (CEO) and Christopher Kenney (COO), GCI combines investment pedigree with operational and asset management capabilities to serve hyperscale technology companies, large enterprise customers, and content providers across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Latin America. The firm is backed by Goldman Sachs Merchant Banking Division with an initial $500 million equity commitment that enables approximately $1.5 billion in near-term investments.

GCI's core offering centers on a platform-based model combining M&A, add-on investment, and ground-up development of data center assets tailored to AI, high-density compute, storage, and connectivity requirements. Its portfolio includes wholly-owned ATM S.A. (Atman), the leading data center operator in Poland with multiple facilities on the Warsaw-1 campus; the Data Horizon Americas (DHA) joint venture with Southern Cross Group, a Latin America-focused platform anchored by a 55 MW campus in Bogota, Colombia; and a 2025 joint venture with Asia Pacific Land Group to develop a 120 MW (potential 250 MW) data center campus in Kyushu, Japan.

GCI generates revenue through long-term, quote-based enterprise contracts for colocation, compute capacity, storage, and connectivity services delivered via its operating platforms. The go-to-market relies on direct enterprise relationships with the world's largest technology companies and hyperscale operators, leveraging the team's prior track record of over $20 billion in acquisitions and development. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, but the multi-year contract structure and managed-services model indicate predictable, contracted revenue tied to large anchor tenants.

Direct peers

• Digital Realty Trust: Largest publicly traded data center REIT, founded by GCI's CEO Scott Peterson and COO Christopher Kenney. Directly comparable as a global wholesale/colocation operator serving hyperscale and enterprise customers - effectively GCI's founders' prior platform.
• Vantage Data Centers: PE-backed wholesale data center platform serving hyperscale operators across North America, EMEA, and APAC. Closely comparable business model: institutional capital + greenfield development targeting AI/high-density compute. Sold to DigitalBridge/PSP consortium at ~$9B valuation.
• DataBank: PE-backed enterprise and hyperscale data center operator with facilities across the US. Comparable as a roll-up platform acquiring and developing data centers for enterprise and hyperscale tenants under institutional sponsorship.
• Stack Infrastructure: IPI Partners-backed hyperscale data center developer. Closely comparable PE-backed wholesale model focused on large-scale build-to-suit facilities for hyperscale tenants across the US, Europe, and Asia.

Broad incumbents

• Equinix: Largest global colocation operator with extensive interconnection-focused IBX footprint. Comparable as a hyperscale/enterprise data center provider, though Equinix's retail-colocation model differs from GCI's wholesale hyperscale focus.
• CyrusOne: Now-private (KKR/Global Infrastructure Partners owned) hyperscale and enterprise data center operator. Comparable customer base (hyperscalers, large enterprises) and AI-ready facility focus, though at much larger scale.
• QTS Realty Trust: Acquired by Blackstone-owned AirTrunk competitor / formerly public REIT now owned by Blackstone Infrastructure. Comparable hyperscale-focused wholesale and hyperscale data center operator with significant scale advantages.
• Iron Mountain Data Centers: Data center division of Iron Mountain, offering colocation and wholesale services to enterprise and hyperscale customers. Comparable as a global data center operator though under a broader records-storage parent.
