Telehouse set to open the most connected data centre in Thailand in 2023

Global colocation provider , Telehouse , has announced plans to open Bangkok ’ s first purposebuilt data centre focused on connectivity as it continues to expand its presence in the south-east Asian market .

Telehouse , together with parent company , KDDI , a Global Fortune 300 telecommunications and systems integration provider located in Japan , expect to open the 9,000 sqm technologically advanced facility with the power capacity of 9.5MVA , known as Telehouse Bangkok , during the second quarter of 2023 . Telehouse Bangkok will be the company ’ s third location in south-east Asia , joining Singapore and Vietnam , and will be among more than 45 Telehouse data centres worldwide .
Telehouse has more than 30 years of experience as a truly carrier-neutral data centre provider and its new Bangkok data centre will answer the growing demand in
the country for connectivity following the shift towards a digital economy . Telehouse , which operates highly-connected carrierdense data centres in London and Paris , will offer a global standard in data centre services in Thailand , allowing customers to connect with carriers and cloud service providers with minimal latency .
The new data centre will be the first in the market to offer four diverse routes for fibre access . It will also provide a redundant power supply , with two substations , which is very rare in the market , providing reliable backup generators in case of a power outage , cooling and 24 / 7 security systems , giving customers added peace of mind .
Ideally situated in the Rama 9 business district , close to the Stock Exchange of Thailand ( SET ), Telehouse Bangkok will be close to local carrier network facility locations , enabling customers to optimise their networks more efficiently and at a
premium quality . As a brand-new data centre , customers can expect more scalability and flexibility , not only for their immediate planning requirements but also for future growth .
“ Telehouse Bangkok will be the first data centre of its kind in Bangkok and will come at a time when we expect the data centre market in the country to see robust growth owing to the boom in the digital economy , supported by the Thai government ’ s exciting industry 4.0 transformation plan ,” said Kenichi Miyashita , Managing Director , Telehouse Thailand . “ Telehouse Bangkok aims to provide the best environment for all the Internet-related customers , such as cloud service providers , content providers , telecoms and ISPs , to connect with one another with minimal latency . Telehouse Bangkok is a sign of our commitment to help drive the digitisation of Thailand and lift the data centre standard in the region .” �
