Who are Telehouse?
Telehouse are one of the largest carrier neutral co-location service providers in Europe and North America. They operate eight facilities across Europe, including in London, where Fraction Servers (and our parent company UK Servers) host services with them.
Why use Telehouse?
Telehouse Docklands campus is home to LINX, the London INternet eXchange. Through LINX different ISPs and network providers provide connections to each other. This makes Telehouse Docklands a key facility that all quality providers should be present at. In addition to this, Telehouse Docklands has four large datacentres (North, North2, West and East) with a fifth (South) due to come online during 2021.
Telehouse’s Docklands Campus is the most connected site in Europe with over 530 networks onsite.
How do Fraction Servers use Telehouse?
As a result of the excellent connectivity offered as well as large datacentres capable of supporting expansion, Fraction Servers operate a number of core PoPs (Point of Prescence) from Telehouse datacentres. This means we’re able to provide excellent connectivity direct to all major UK ISPs for our customers and excellent upstream connectivity to a variety of Tier 1 providers. Fraction Servers also use the Telehouse West and North 2 datacentres to host our dedicated server offerings in London meaning our dedicated servers offer the lowest latency in the UK to all major networks.
Telehouse North opened in 1990 and was the first purpose-built colocation data centre in Europe
