The event was joined by H.E. Kazuya Nashida, Embassy of Japan in Thailand, Sonklin Ploymee, deputy secretary general, Thailand Board of Investment (BOI) and partners from Thailand and other countries to mark the grand opening in Bangkok.
Telehouse Thailand is the third footprint in southeast Asia with a building area of 9,000 square meters and a 9.5MVA power capacity. With the location in the centre of Bangkok – Rama 9, the data centre focuses on the interconnection strategy, aiming to be the internet hub data centre where multiple telecommunication carriers and service providers interconnect and exchange data traffic domestically and internationally.
In addition to the goal of developing and promoting the network system in Thailand, Telehouse Thailand is also keen on green environmental initiatives to be the first data centre in Thailand to procure 100% renewable energy-based electricity, aligned with the Telehouse global target of achieving net-zero CO2 emissions by 2026.
“We are very excited to announce and celebrate our official opening in Bangkok,” said Ken Miyashita, managing director of Telehouse (Thailand) Ltd. “With our location in the heart of the city, Telehouse Thailand will provide secure and reliable data centre services to act as a connectivity hub in Southeast Asia. We are ready to elevate data centre standards and contribute to the digital society in the country and region.”
