KDDI, Telehouse's Japanese telecommunications and systems integration parent company, operates data centre facilities in America and Asia. Telehouse has ISO/IEC 27001:2005 (information security) and ISO 9001:2000 (quality management) and ISO 14001:2004 (environmental management) accreditations across many of its sites in Europe.

Operations

London

Operational since 1990, Telehouse North became Europe’s first purpose-built neutral colocation facility. It is the main hub of the Internet in the United Kingdom. In response to growing demand for a Central London location, Telehouse opened an additional colocation facility in 1997, Telehouse Metro, in the City of London.

A second building at the Docklands site, Telehouse East, was opened in 1999 and the construction of a third building, Telehouse West, at its Docklands site was completed in March 2010. In July 2014 KDDI announced that a fourth building North Two would be build on the site, adjacent to the existing Telehouse North building.

Telehouse London is the primary home of the London Internet Exchange since 1994, due to the number carriers present in the data centre and the level of latency, Telehouse is one of the key internet hubs in the world.

LINX, Packet Exchange, LONAP and LIPEX are present at Telehouse Docklands.

In 2012, Telehouse built their own primary substation, at 50MVA and two 132kVA power lines directly connected to the high voltage power network for the London Docklands site.

Paris

Telehouse Europe operates three sites in Paris :

• Telehouse Paris Jeûneurs. Opened in 1996 near the famous Sentier street in Paris.
• Telehouse Paris Voltaire which opened in 1998.
• Telehouse Magny-Les-Hameaux (Yvelines département). Originally a national military defence location, the site was converted into a data centre in 2009 and now provides 15,000 square meters of colocation space.

Frankfurt

Telehouse Europe also operates one site in Frankfurt :

• Telehouse Frankfurt. Opened in 2012, Telehouse acquired one of Germany's largest colocation sites, Databurg.
