Telehouse launches three Toronto data centres to facilitate internet traffic flow

Data centre service provider Telehouse is expanding to Canada with the launch of three locations in downtown Toronto that will act as central meeting points for internet traffic flow.

The company acquired the three sites, located at 151 Front St. W., 250 Front St. W. and 905 King St. W., last year for $1.35 billion.

The data centres will allow hundreds of internet carriers and service providers, cloud providers and content providers to connect by establishing a handoff location within Telehouse's buildings, the company said Monday.

Andy Fenton, director of sales and marketing for Telehouse Canada, said it chose to operate in downtown buildings to make it more efficient and cost-effective for companies relying on high-speed connections to link up with a provider's network.
