The Carrier-Neutral Data Centre company KDDI Telehouse is preparing to enter the Thailand market to meet growing demand in a rapidly developing data ecosystem

Imagine that you live in a city where you could enjoy all of your daily activities and entertainment in one place without going out of town , such as a shopping mall or amusement park . The concept of a carrier neutral data centre ( DC ) is the same ” says Manabu Takagi , General Manager of KDDI Telehouse , Global Data Center Business .

Carrier-Neutral DCs are a breed of DC architecture that resolve connectivity issues that can transpire from being attached to more conventional data centres .
‘ With multiple connectivity partners located in a carrier-neutral DC , customers can obtain all the connectivity services they need - such as internet services - from service providers within the DC . They also benefit from the low latency , greater efficiency and reliability , and greater flexibility that the DC environment can offer ’ he says .
The obvious implication is that data centres lacking carrier neutrality can suffer from the limitations that KDDI Telehouse is providing solutions for .
Data centres that are ‘ carrier-biased ’ can restrict their users to just a single connectivity service , a need to venture out of their remote digital villages to access their limited digital services , which can be inconvenient , costly and even risky .
KDDI Telehouse solves this problem by allowing its clients the freedom to quickly shift between the multiple services available to their customers within their carrier neutral network .
