Telehouse announced plans for a new London data center
in the Docklands. The project will not be the first Docklands expansion
for the company, which acquired its fourth data center location in the
area in 2013.
The new Docklands data center project will cost Telehouse an
estimated £135 million, or approximately $229 million, and will feature
an outer shell modeled after a computer chip. Overall, the new London
data center will include 23,135 square meters, or just under 250,000
square feet, of space. This new facility will be situated next to the
company’s Telehouse North structure at its 770,000 square foot, campus.
The London facility will offer a range of hybrid services for data
center colocation clients that need to leverage both cloud and physical
data center space.
Telehouse’s Data Center Expansion
Overall, the organization operates 45 data centers across the globe in
EMEA, the Americas and the Asia-Pacific areas. In London alone,
Telehouse has a total of 73,000 square meters, or more than 785,000
square feet, of data center space, making it the data center service
provider with the largest footprint in the region.
Docklands: A London Data Center Hub
Telehouse isn’t the only company to expand its Docklands data center
footprint, and the area has quickly become a hub of computing activity.
As client demands increased, more organizations came to the region,
constructing facilities not only in London, but outside the city as
well. Currently, more than 300 facility operators provide services in
the London and outlying area.
