KDDI TELEHOUSE

Creating a seamless experience for the end user is the result of a visionary approach in global connectivity services from KDDI TELEHOUSE

Connectivity is the core strength of KDDI TELEHOUSE which seems apt for a company that was conceived in the same year as the first text message was successfully sent to a Motorola beeper .

KDDI TELEHOUSE is a single source provider for colocation , cloud migration and connectivity services . According to General Manager , Ryo Kurita , the company predicted a shift in data management 30 years ago . Today , it has a global footprint of more than 40 data centres offering support for startups to Fortune 500 companies – showing its visionary strategy has been successful .
While the world was perfecting online networks , KDDI TELEHOUSE was perfecting the infrastructure to support the increasing demand for network operations they predicted was coming .
KDDI TELEHOUSE is one of the leading providers of carrier-neutral data centres from Shanghai to Paris and with personnel around the world including San Francisco where Kurita spoke from his office about the importance of a rock solid digital infrastructure to support data – which is getting bigger every day .

“ Connectivity is our core strength ”

“ Connectivity is our core strength ,” said Kurita who pointed out the company now has a presence of over 40 data centres covering 10 countries including London , New York and Frankfurt .
Ongoing investments by $ 48 billion Japanese parent company , KDDI , ensures it is one of the most financially stable providers in the industry . KDDI is a Global Fortune 300 Company and continuously invests in its facilities and services .
Kurita commented there can be some confusion over KDDI and TELEHOUSE . “ They are basically the same company ,” he said . “ KDDI is the parent company of TELEHOUSE and the second largest telecom carrier out of Japan . It provides comprehensive global ICT solutions such as system integration , cloud migration , Internet of Things ( IoT ), network services and related IT services . TELEHOUSE is the brand name of the data centre arm and originally established in New York in 1989 and London Docklands opened as our first purpose-built colocation facility in Europe in 1990 ,” he said .
Connecting mission-critical systems As more enterprises seek ways to re-invent themselves online and stay agile to survive the fallout from the pandemic there are more calls than ever for faster data speed – a call KDDI TELEHOUSE is answering .
