"Chris joined Digital Realty Trust
as vice president of our sales and technical services activities at
the completion of our initial public offering in October 2004,"
said Michael F. Foust, CEO. "During his tenure, Chris tirelessly
focused on growing our business and played a key role in developing
our datacenter products and most recently new market opportunities.
We greatly appreciate his efforts and have come to regard him as both
a trusted colleague and a friend."

point where you have accomplished everything that you originally set
out to do, and decide that it is time to start seeking new
professional challenges. I have reached that point here at Digital
Realty Trust," said Chris Crosby. "When I began here, my
goal was to help the organization grow into a market leader. I could
not have imagined at that time that we would achieve that goal so
rapidly or dramatically. This success is a testament to the hard work
and dedication of all the many people that it has been my pleasure to
work with at Digital Realty Trust. It gives me great pride to think
of all of the challenges that we were able to overcome by working
together to bring innovative solutions to the wholesale data center
marketplace."

the contributions Chris has made to our organization as we continue
to expand Digital Realty Trust's leadership position in the

best of luck in his future endeavors," added Mr. Foust.
