EXA Infrastructure, the critical digital infrastructure platform provider, has expanded its London metro offering by installing two fully diverse, high fibre count cables in Telehouse South – Telehouse’s newest data centre located in London Docklands.
This development builds on a highly successful 20-year partnership and confirms EXA Infrastructure’s full diversity from Telehouse South. It complements the company’s already extensive platform offering to the London market on both fibre and transmission. EXA is also on track to commission fully diverse and protected DWDM node at Telehouse South, deploying Infinera’s latest Flex technology, which will be able to support speeds up to 400G and spectrum.
Will Scott, Vice President Sales at Telehouse Europe, said: “We’re thrilled that EXA is supporting Telehouse in providing complete diversity at our Telehouse South data centre, allowing us to expand the range of services we can offer to our UK customer-base. This continues a successful, decade-long partnership and we look forward to further close collaboration with EXA as we foster innovation and enable businesses to embark on digital transformation at Telehouse South.”
Steve Roberts, SVP, Strategic Investments and Product Management at EXA Infrastructure said: “We are excited to continue working closely with Telehouse. This new investment will extend and complement the advanced services we already provide to the dynamic London market. Telehouse South is an ideal location for our expansion in fibre and transmission, enabling us to build on the several footprints we already have across the Telehouse Docklands campus. We plan further investment, enabling our customers to boost their growth.”
First opened in 2022, Telehouse South is a key site for connectivity, supporting EXA Infrastructure’s investment in diverse fibre cables. The recent addition of two floors has provided an extra 5.4MW of IT capacity, bringing the facility’s total to 7.7MW across three floors. Its strategic location near the City and Canary Wharf ensures low-latency connectivity to London’s financial district. As with all Telehouse facilities in Docklands, 100% of the electricity procured for Telehouse South is obtained from renewable sources and is backed by UK renewable energy guarantees of origin (REGOs).
