Telehouse International Corporation of Europe has upgraded its Telehouse North data centre in London to offer additional capacity for service providers.

The upgrade comes after increased demand for colocation space within Telehouse North. As part of the project, Telehouse North’s TFM25 suite was refurbished to offer more space for customers and power per rack from 0.5-1kW to 3kW.

The newly enhanced suite is set to open in October 2021, and will deliver higher power densities that correspond to the demands of the modern day, and a fully redundant power supply to meet increasing resiliency requirements.

“Telehouse North has been a popular destination for carriers since the 1990s, and this refurbishment is in direct response to customer requests to be part of that community,” said Mark Pestridge, Senior Director, Customer Experience at Telehouse UK.

“It gives more customers the opportunity to scale up and benefit from being interconnected in a carrier-neutral facility. It’s also a major step in our continued expansion, which includes investing in new facilities like Telehouse South, alongside the modernisation of legacy buildings such as Telehouse North.”

Telehouse North was opened in 1990 as the first purpose-built colocation data centre in Europe. It has been the primary home for the London Internet Exchange (LINX) since 1994 and is an integral part of Telehouse’s expanding Docklands campus.

This refurbishment comes after Telehouse’s expansion of its Paris data centre and the forthcoming launch of Telehouse South in London.
