Telehouse announced that it will be opening a second data center in Shanghai, China on November 1, 2013. Telehouse Shanghai Jinqiao is in the Jinqiao district of the Pudong New Area of Shanghai. Just 30 minutes out of Central Shanghai, this area is home to the Jinqiao Export Processing Zone and over sixty Fortune 500 companies.
The addition of Telehouse Shanghai Jinqiao brings Telehouse to a total of six data centers in Greater China, covering Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong, with two large colocation facilities in each city. With a total of 246,063 ft2 of colocation space, Telehouse is the largest global colocation provider in the region.
Telehouse Shanghai Jinqiao was established in conjunction with well-reputed local systems integrator, Shanghai Data Solutions, and provides 139,393 ft2 (12,950 m2) of customer colocation space within a six- floor facility, totalling 1,560 sellable racks and making it one of the largest housing facilities in Shanghai. Offering shared, caged and open colocation space, the Shanghai data center provides power to rack from 2kVA to high density hosting options.
Telehouse’s new data center provides a carrier-neutral alternative to a market that is currently dominated by state-owned operators. Additionally, DataCenter Dynamics has predicted the market to grow at a twenty percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the next five years. The forecasted growth comes as a response to China’s booming economy and seemingly insatiable demand for new technology, which has prompted the Chinese government to invest heavily in innovation and technology development, particularly cloud technology.
