Our Multi-Million Pound DataCentre Specifications

Each of our locations across Europe is heavily protected against infiltration, fire and power outage. This is an environment where access is restricted to the welcome and the invited, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. That's why so many organisations trust us with their mission critical infrastructure.

Power
Sites are carefully constructed with UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supplies) and stand-by generation systems, raised floors, cable management and air conditioning to ensure a resilient location for your important infrastructure equipment. N+1 power is filter-fed to each building to prevent surging, supplied at 230V AC for computer systems and 48V DC in telecoms suites. UPS delivery is backed up with high capacity power generators with at least 48 hours’ worth of fuel; ample to survive disaster scenarios.

Connectivity
Our datacentre sites have a minimum of 2 diverse routes entering our data centres at either end of the facility; the cables are routed securely to ODFs located in the frame rooms.

All cabling within the facility is controlled by the datacentre.
Carrier feeds are diverse and secure.

Connectivity & Providers OnSite

Connectivity & Peering

For critical peering, transit and traffic exchange requirements customers can directly interconnect with over 250 Tier 1 and Tier 2 global and national network providers and ISPs located at TeleCity facilities.  Listed on the rightis a partial list of the providers available: 

Peering

Six of our data centres host the main national Internet exchange points (IXPs); Amsterdam - AMS-IX, London - LINX, Frankfurt - DE-CIX, Paris - FreeIX, Dublin - INEX and Manchester - MaNAP, allowing competing networks to interconnect and exchange internet traffic at national and international level with speed and efficiency.  In Paris we also host the French National Internet Exchange IPv6 - FNIXv6.  We are also a host for the metropolitan interconnect specialist XchangePoint. 

The upstream costs of connections is one of the largest costs facing ISPs today. Peering helps to reduce these costs. A single connection to an IXP may reduce the need for multiple connections.  Organisations like AMS-IX, LINX, DE-CIX, FreeIX, INEX, MaNAP and FNIXv6 trust us with their mission critical Internet infrastructure.

AMS-IX

AMS-IX has over 130 Internet companies connected to its exchange making peering possibilities within the Netherlands and Europe extremely attractive. All major Dutch ISPs and many international ISPs (especially from the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium and the Nordic countries) have established connections with AMS-IX.

LINX

The London Internet Exchange (LINX) is fast expanding its dominance as the largest Internet exchange point outside the USA.  As a mutual organisation owned by more than 120 Internet and content delivery service providers, LINX allows competing networks to exchange Internet traffic, bringing speed and efficiency benefits to their customers. Formed with just five ISP members in 1994, LINX now handles up to 96 per cent of publicly peered UK Internet traffic.

MaNAP

Launched in July 1997, MaNAP has rapidly become an important northern node for most of the UK's fibre networks. Located at the northern point of most of the UK's fibre rings, it is ideally suited for picking up North West Transatlantic and North East to Europe transit services.  Similar to other IXP's, MaNAP allows service providers to connect to each other to exchange Internet traffic.

DE-CIX

DE-CIX is the German internet exchange point of The Association of the German Internet Economy (eco), Germany's main Internet and e-business association. DE-CIX3 is located in TeleCity's data centre facilities in Frankfurt. The presence of DE-CIX in TeleCity Frankfurt increases customer confidence in choosing to locate with us in Germany, and offers an additional secure and resilient location for DE-CIX members. More than 80% of all national and international peerings are processed through the exchange.

FreeIX

Establised in 2000 by Free.fr, the Free Internet Exchange (FreeIX) is the most important independent internet Exchange in France. FreeIX supplies a free Fast/GigaBit Ethernet connection and connections between Internet Service Providers and carriers hosted in data centres such as those operated by TeleCity.

INEX

The Internet Neutral EXchange (INEX) is an Internet exchange located in Dublin, Ireland. Its objective is to provide high-speed, reliable and resilient IP traffic exchange facilities for both Irish and international internet service providers, allowing them to route IP traffic efficiently within Ireland and thereby providing faster, more reliable and lower-latency internet access for their customers.
