On February 3rd, 2011 TELEHOUSE hosted an exclusive launch party right inside their state of the art 85 10th Avenue facility. As a primary colocation provider in the United States, we are proud to debut a third data center in New York. Customers and friends gathered on the 7th floor for an evening of celebration over drinks and hors d’oeuvres. The party provided the perfect opportunity to catch up with friends, partners and customers, while enjoying personal facility tours of TELEHOUSE Chelsea.
Our ribbon cutting ceremony was the highlight of the evening with Hiroshi Iwamoto, Executive Vice President and Chief Technical Officer, and comments from Fred Cannone, Sales and Marketing Director. Mr. Iwamoto delivered an introductory speech about the 60,000 square foot space before announcing the official opening at 6pm. He said
“We wanted to gather together all our friends to show them that Telehouse is not only expanding globally, but also here, on American soil. This new data center really meets the demand in Manhattan for connected, affordable colocation space by being a secure, state-of-the-art facility providing one of the best data center spaces in New York.”
Over 100 guests enjoyed the celebrations and extensive tours given by our knowledgeable Operations and Engineering teams. TELEHOUSE was truly able to introduce the Chelsea Center with a bang! With our first clients already sold and the NYIIX IP peering expansion installed this month (February 2011), TELEHOUSE Chelsea is already on its way to becoming a primary industry destination.
TELEHOUSE prides itself on being able to provide diverse seamless connections all over the globe, and the addition of TELEHOUSE New York Chelsea empowers our customers with another choice to complement our 40 data centers worldwide. TELEHOUSE’s other recent global facility announcements include new sites in London, Shanghai, Vietnam and South Africa. We will continue to keep you updated with further TELEHOUSE expansions throughout the year! In the mean time, we wish to thank all our guests who attended our launch event! We look forward to seeing you at other TELEHOUSE events throughout the year!
