UK Data Centers
Why locate your Data Center in the UK?
For the second year running, the UK has been ranked as the lowest-risk European country to locate a data center – according to the Data Center Risk Index 2013 (DCRI) which evaluates risks likely to affect the successful operation of data centers in the 30 most important global markets. The UK achieved this high ranking due to its high international internet bandwidth capacity, data center resilience, political stability and ease of doing business. The UK data center market is currently estimated to be the second biggest in the world after the West Coast, USA. London is acting as the key data center hub accounting for 49% of the total UK data center footprint.
- The UK's key technology industries include the telecommunications market that is valued at £45 billion, a communications sector that employs approximately 250,000 people across 8,000 companies and Europe’s highest number of game development companies employing 28,000 people.
- As one of the largest ICT markets in Europe the country is a leading player in the global technology and data center market with UK companies sourcing more compute power and hosting more data in the cloud than the rest of the world.
- The UK government is committed to provide the best superfast broadband network in Europe by 2015. With the 2012 Olympics acting as a catalyst, this planned investment in the UK internet infrastructure will support the growth of mobile media and content online.
- The UK currently has the highest IP traffic usage per capita in Europe and 83% of its population connected to the internet.

Why choose TELEHOUSE London data centers?

TELEHOUSE London data centers are known as the UK's foremost Internet Hub and Backbone for the Global Internet Network given that 82% of Europe’s live internet traffic and over 60% of transatlantic live internet traffic travels through TELEHOUSE London.
TELEHOUSE is featured in a video from the World Science Festival that illustrates how the internet works:
Connectivity
When TELEHOUSE North was opened in 1990, there were only 2 carriers available. Today TELEHOUSE London customers can connect to over 400 carriers, ISPs and ASPs which can be interconnected to any of the buildings via dark fiber. The close proximity to the City and Canary Wharf makes TELEHOUSE the best low latency point, ideal for trading exchanges and mission-critical applications.
Power
TELEHOUSE is the only company in the UK that operates a private dual primary substation (N+N) connected at 132kV to supplier authority lines. The substation is located at its London Docklands campus and encompasses a total capacity of 50MVA with cooling and two 132kV power lines directly connected to the National Grid reducing transmission losses. As power and electrical shortages have been an increasing concern in London the primary substation future-proofs the TELEHOUSE business and secures enough power to serve its fast-growing customer base.
