Global colocation provider , Telehouse , has officially opened a fifth data centre at its Frankfurt campus in Germany . ‘ Building M ’ launched in October and has increased capacity at the digital hub of continental Europe by a total of 4.5 megawatts . The building adds a further 2,200 square metres of data centre space across three floors to the campus , which now totals more than 50,000 square metres of data centre space for all requirements , from single racks to dedicated data centre areas .
The development forms part of Telehouse ’ s wider European expansion plan as well as responding to a sharp growth in demand from German companies for external computing power , as they continue to invest in future-proof cloud applications . The greater Frankfurt area remains the most important location for data centres in Germany and the largest network node in Europe . Due to the enormous demand , Building M is already fully leased and further expansion of the site is now in the planning phase . The centrally located campus still offers sufficient space for future development . Telehouse Germany is also setting new standards in sustainability . The waste heat generated by all buildings on the Frankfurt campus will be used to supply the neighbouring newly created ‘ FRANKY ’ residential quarter with district heating . At approximately 51,000 square metres , the quarter offers space for around 3,000 people with 93,000 square metres of living space in 1,300 residential units .
TELEHOUSE GERMANY COMBINES GROWTH , PERFORMANCE AND SUSTAINABILITY AT NEW FRANKFURT DATA CENTRE
This heat recovery process can provide more than 60 % of the annual energy requirement for heating homes and water in the community , using around 2 % of the waste heat from the Telehouse data centres . The additional demand is fed into the district heating network from the combined heat and power plant of the Frankfurt-based utility company Manova . At around 400 tonnes of CO 2
, the emission savings are approximately 50 % compared to conventional local gas-based heating . As a result of this initiative , Telehouse Germany is making a significant contribution to achieving the ‘ KfW Efficiency House 55 ’ standard for the entire residential district .
Telehouse Europe is exploring similar opportunities in the UK and is already reusing heat at its Magny-Les-Hameaux campus in Paris .
“ It ’ s particularly important for us to be able to combine efficiency , performance and safety with a contribution to environmental protection in the interest of our customers ,” explains Dr . Béla Waldhauser , Managing Director of Telehouse Deutschland GmbH . “ In this way , we are assuming responsibility both locally and globally .”
