KDDI is pleased to announce that its European subsidiary Telehouse Europe (Managing Director: Ken Sakai) has been named a winner in the

2017 Data Centre Solution Awards (hereafter DCS Awards), which recognizes the innovative achievements of business enterprises in data-center related technology and services.

The DCS Awards features 25 categories, and Telehouse London was a winner in the Data Centre Energy Efficiency Project of the Year category, which evaluates energy efficiency in data centers.

Telehouse London Docklands North Two (hereafter North Two) is the first multi-floor urban data center to feature an indirect adiabatic cooling system, and the award is in recognition of its achievement of top-level energy efficiency, with a PUE [2] of 1.16 (design value).

The indirect adiabatic cooling system is a system that cools by means of heat exchange between the warm air in the server room and the external air, and is generally used in the suburban, low-rise type of data center. The use of external air provides a high cooling capacity with low power consumption, and contributes to a reduction of the amount of energy used by the data center.

With roughly 30 years of experience in the field, we provide our customers with services that make the most of the knowhow we have gained over that time. As operators of premium data centers making optimum use of cutting-edge technologies and connectivity, we will continue to support the development of our customers global business.

PUE is an acronym for Power Usage Effectiveness, and is an indicator of how efficiently IT-related facilities such as data centers use energy. It is calculated using the total facility power consumption and the IT equipment power consumption; the closer the PUE is to 1.0, the more efficient the power usage.
