Digital Infastracture Advisors
Who We Are
Digital Infrastructure Advisors, Ltd. (DIAL) a DC Capital Group Company focused on supporting investors, funds, developers, and operators of global mission critical technical infrastructure.
We provide targeted services to deliver highly effective outcomes supporting the complete lifecycle of technical real estate assets. With an extensive background in the data center and telecommunications industry, DIA is positioned to provide practical advice to support existing technical facilities and next generation digital infrastructure for the Edge, 5G, IoT, digital community hubs, and distributed data environments.
Who We Work With
We work with the investment community (private equity funds, financial institutions, high net worth family offices), commercial developers and data center operators by providing consulting services, interim executive management, and directorship roles.
Having worked with numerous successful data center businesses, we have a comprehensive understanding of our clients’ business and strategic objectives. We work with the finance, property, technical and business teams to provide a coordinated multidisciplinary service and target our services to deliver highly effective outcomes supporting the complete lifecycle of technical real estate. This allows our clients to manage, plan, grow, fund, design, consolidate, dispose, and optimize facilities of all sizes and complexity in the digital infrastructure sector.
What We Do
Whilst recent trends have been on large scale data center projects, there is now the emergence of data, power, and communication in digital community centers in regional markets. There are many small and medium sized facilities in commercial and corporate buildings, along with POP sites that supported legacy services reaching the end of their service lives. These locations are often well suited to Edge computing with a complete refresh and updated approach. We focus on bridging the gap between commercial and technical real estate and distributed computing to create innovative technical and funding solutions for these new initiatives.
In a challenging fragmented industry, DIA succeeds by having the capability, through an extensive network of subject matter professionals, to bring together world class multi-disciplinary teams around a common objective to support both long term assignments and project cycles. DIA has partnerships which have been established for many years in all major geographical regions.
