 Hey everybody, welcome to JSA TV, the newsroom for tech and telecom professionals. I'm Jamie Scott-Oketaya of JSA and joining me today from the lovely city of London is Will Scott, head of sales for Telehouse Europe. Well, welcome to JSA TV. Hey Jamie, great to be with you and thanks for that great intro. Great, great to have you. We are so excited to talk Telehouse and with that, for our viewers who may not know a little bit about Telehouse, we need to correct that wrong immediately. Can you give us a little description about your fabulous company? Yeah, sure. So Telehouse is very much the original collocation company. So we started in 1989 and in the UK, in Europe, we started in London, Scotland. So we've been around since before the internet, since before everything that creates the need for data sensors these days and have grown steadily over those 30 odd years. So we now, as an organisation, we have five data sensors in the Docklands area. We support some 3,000 customers and partners and some thousand service providers as well. So we're the most connected data centre in Europe and some would argue possibly in the world but we are a very key hub for all things internet, cloud, carrier from that perspective. So very important to our customers and yeah, we are very proud of what we do to support our industry. Yes, incredible illustrious background, really the centre hub for everything. So let's jump in right now to the latest news coming out of Telehouse. You recently completed upgrades to your newest and largest data centre right there in London. Could you tell our viewers a little bit more about that? Yeah, sure. So as I mentioned, we've now got five data centres in our campus. The fifth, which is called Telehouse South. We're not inventive when it comes to naming, but we are inventive when it comes to building data centres. So from that perspective, this is building we took over just about two and a bit years ago now and we are renovating what is an iconic data centre building that was originally built in 1990, but we are stripping it out from floor to floor and completely refurbishing. So we launched last year with one floor and two megawatts, but we go live with two more floors later at the back end of this year and to early next year, which will be the further 5.4 megawatts coming on stream and it's connected back into our campus. So that means it's connected to the London Internet Exchange. It's connected direct connect to EWS, direct connect to Azure, and direct connect to all that thousand service providers that are on site, as well as a number of important financial services organisations. So yeah, it's a really exciting time for us. It's a big investment, but it's definitely proving to be worthwhile. Yeah, I love that. I love that whole peering and hub and cloud hub as well. So that leads me into a discussion about your sustainability practices. What's the latest on that front? I'm sure it's hard with buildings with such a pedigree. Yeah, the first problem is we have data centres which have been in existence for over 30 years. We have been upgrading them over time though, so they're not 30 years old in any matter technically, but obviously there's a great focus on it. We see that focus from customers, from prospects that we talk to, ESG, I guess is the term at the moment in terms of all the different aspects that people are really concerned about, but within that data centres have got a big part to play with sustainability. So we have a constant refresh, so the older data centres are always being renewed as we come to that refresh point. With South, we're designed to a PUE of 1.25, so that's pretty much at the top end of where you can go market-wise, but we've always been committed to it. So from an electricity perspective, our power has been sourced from renewable sources for some four or five years now, 100%, and South is no different, is part of the overall approach. What we're also doing is we're looking at every single measure you can take. So it's easy at times to talk about the large steps you can make, be that using the latest technology, the most efficient equipment, which obviously something we're doing, but also it's simple things. It's encouraging our customers to be more energy efficient, so we ensure that the simple things like putting blanking panels in place on racks such that the coal dials are as cold as they ought to be, and we're not wasting energy in that manner either. I guess our commitment as an organisation, obviously we're 100% owned by KDI, and as a corporation we've committed to being carbon neutral by 2030. Telehouse as an organisation is obviously aligned to that, and also we have signatories of the climate neutral data centre pact, which basically commits us to by 2025 no data centres that we will be building will have a PUE higher than 1.3, and by 2030 no data centres we operate in London will have a PUE of higher than 1.3. So those are ambitious goals, and there's only one way we can get there, and that's by improving and improving and improving. So it's a major focus for us. Incredible, I love to hear all that. I love those goals. They do seem aggressive, but it sounds like you guys have a plan in place to achieve that, which is incredible. So where can our viewers go to learn more about Telehouse Europe?
