The world’s largest private equity firm spent $US10 billion ($15.4 billion) on the takeover of data centre operator QTS in 2021 and in December inked a $US7 billion joint venture with specialist Digital Realty to develop four hyperscale data centre campuses in Frankfurt, Paris and Northern Virginia.
