We intend long-term investment with our Telehouse business in Russia. Our experience and relationships within the local market will enable us to play a key role in Moscow’s international ICT development.”

With focus on hosting multinational corporations, Telehouse MOSCOW offers shared facility management with average 4kW per footprint provision.
Kobayashi continues, “For over 20 years, we have maintained a reputation for instilling confidence in companies around the world to trust and partner with third party providers for security, reliability and connectivity of their data, who have traditionally managed their systems in-house. Telehouse MOSCOW will continue our commitment in managing our customer’s ICT infrastructure cost efficiently and ensuring them peace of mind.”
