Telehouse International Corporation of Europe – a leading global data centre service provider – has announced the official opening of its fifth data centre in London, Telehouse South. Located in one of Europe’s iconic and most connected data centre campuses in London Docklands, Blackwall Yard, Telehouse South is the provider’s largest facility.
The first floor of colocation space at Telehouse South provides the capacity for up to 668 racks and 2MW of power, with a further upgrade to 2.7MW for an additional data hall scheduled for the end of 2023. At full buildout, the 31,000 sqm facility will provide 12,000 sqm of colocation space and a total power capacity of 18MW.
The data centre is Telehouse’s most ambitious infrastructural and aesthetic refurbishment to date, with the first phase of the project completed in less than 12 months from acquisition. At full capacity, Telehouse will have invested £223 million into its development.
“London Docklands remains an important strategic location for us and one of the most critical interconnection points in the world,” said Seigo Fukuhara, European Bloc Chief and Managing Director, KDDI Europe and Telehouse Europe. “As businesses continue to accelerate their Digital Transformation post-pandemic and demand for digital services grows, Telehouse South offers enterprises greater efficiency through scalable hybrid cloud infrastructure, with faster access to data and applications and the flexibility to grow.”
