Telehouse Europe builds new Datacenter in London
Everybody who has tried to get floorspace in one of the many facilities in London, will be aware that there is a huge demand and not a lot of available free space. As a consequence the prices are rather high.
Telehouse Europe has announced today an investment of £80 million in a new build, which will almost double its London Docklands data centre facilities.
The new location will be an 8-storey, 12,000 m2 state-of-the-art data centre, named Telehouse South, adjacent to its two existing data centres (Telehouse North and Telehouse East) in the heart of London’s Docklands. It should be operational by 2010.
John Souter, CEO of LINX (London Internet Exchange), welcomed the announcement, saying: “Telehouse’s major investment reaffirms London’s pre-eminence as a world class centre for communications interconnect.” LINX is already located at the existing Telehouse Data Centres in London.
