The real estate investment trust owns, develops, operates and manages wholesale data centers used by firms including Microsoft and Yahoo. Dupont Fabros, which went public in October 2007, is developing a data center in Piscataway, N.J., and a facility in Ashburn. It delayed a project in Santa Clara, Calif., after it couldn't borrow as much as it had expected. Some experts say that companies trying to save money might help the data warehousing industry boom.
