Telehouse Announces Next Phase of North Two Data Centre Expansion

Telehouse, a leading global provider of data centre services, today announced further expansion of its North Two data centre, located at its London Docklands campus. Telehouse North Two opened its doors in 2016 with two floors of colocation space and two additional floors are now open. The build-out of these floors has been brought forward in response to the increased customer demand for high density, scalable space in London resulting from the acceleration in the adoption of hybrid cloud strategies by enterprises, digitalisation and the evolution of technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Virtual Reality (VR) and the Internet of Things (IoT).
