site that can connect back to our Voltaire campus through a dark fibre network between the two campuses .”
In 2020 , they also expanded their data centre services in Frankfurt , with the addition of a fifth building at the Telehouse Frankfurt campus . The space was quickly filled thanks to customer demand .
Preparing for entry into the Thailand Market KDDI Telehouse have also just announced their entry into the Thailand market .
KDDI Telehouse has leased a plot in Rama IX , central Bangkok , to leverage the connectivity network of local carriers for its KDDI Telehouse Bangkok facility , with the location close to the financial district in Thailand .
Planning has already begun on the threestory facility , with the initial phase targeted to be completed by Q2 2023 .
This facility will provide 4MW of IT power over 32,000 sqm of space when complete . KDDI Telehouse has taken full equity ownership of its enterprise in Thailand , where the business is 100 % owned by KDDI group , including its subsidiary in Singapore and Thailand .
“ We firmly believe that the timing is right to enter Thailand ,” Takagi says . “ While many data centre operators have ambitious plans to build large , wholesale facilities around the Asia-Pacific region , KDDI Telehouse intends to offer a well-connected , carrier-neutral data centre on an international scale .”
Thailand is historically a tourism and manufacturing hub , so Bangkok has not really featured in the data centre market until recently , when accelerated digitalization in the wake of the pandemic has brought cloud providers ’ attention to the market and highlighted its potential .
