KDDI TELEHOUSE
Takagi says , “ achieving carbon neutrality is a key business challenge and opportunity that KDDI Telehouse is striving to achieve . One of the main steps that we have taken is to create a ‘ Sustainability Management Department ’ in April this year , which will focus on sustainability measures for the entire group , including carbon neutrality ”.
Telehouse has already made significant strides towards achieving these targets with 70 % of its energy resources being converted into renewable energy .
“ For the countries where renewable energy is not yet in place ,” Takagi explains , “ we will gradually promote carbon neutralisation by offsetting CO2 .”
“ As a data centre operator that both owns and operates its facilities , we have been working to reduce our energy consumption related to carbon neutral conversion , and this energy saving is directly related to the design and construction stages right through to operations ."
“ One of our key strengths consists of highly efficient data centres with low PuE ( Power usage Effectiveness ),” he says . “ One of our flagship data centres , Telehouse North Two - located in London and launched 5 years ’ ago - was designed and built to world-class standards to deliver low PuE by incorporating the world ’ s first multi-story adiabatic cooling system .”
KDDI Telehouse ’ s reach is truly global , with 100 offices located in 60 major cities between them . Speaking of their European data centre operations , Takagi says : “ We have presence in London , Paris and Frankfurt , operating our most connected data centre campuses out of London and Paris .”
They opened their first data centre building , Telehouse North , at Telehouse , London Docklands in 1989 . It was the first purpose-built carrier-neutral data centre in
