Telehouse operates five data centers in London, four at its Docklands campus in East London, consisting of Telehouse North (opened 1990), Telehouse East (opened 1999), Telehouse West (opened 2010), and Telehouse North Two (opened in 2016.)
Critical to London’s Financial industry, Equinix’s collection of non-contigous data cetners in Slough function as a virtual campus via innerduct paths that connect them. The campus is one of the largest data centres in London.
LD9 is located in West London's Park Royal campus. The data centre was a Telecity managed facility before Equinix acquired Telecity in July 2016.
The datacenter first opened in 2014 by Infinity SDC, but in 2015 VIRTUS acquired the site which is now called London 3. London3 is the closest (non-Equinix) facilities to Equinix's LD4 making it an option to be part of the financial trading ecosystem, but colocated outside of Equinix.
This site was formerly a Telecity site that was acquired by Equinix (January 2016) and subsequently sold to Digital Realty Trust (July 2016.)
London is the largest data centre market in Europe, and a top 5 in the world. The London Data Centre market is broken down into several regions.
Data centres with good network connectivity are plentiful in London. There are many carrier hotels, including:
