Telehouse Canada Completes First Direct Liquid Cooling Deployment with Cabinet Density Reaching 120kW

en.Wedoany.com Reported - Telehouse Canada has completed its first direct liquid cooling deployment within its Canadian interconnection hub, enabling cabinet densities of up to 120 kW per rack at its downtown Toronto data center campus to support high-density AI workloads. As a subsidiary of global telecommunications company KDDI Corporation, Telehouse brings 35 years of global experience, operating data centers in over 40 locations. Its global data center facilities maintain a 99.999% SLA uptime standard, and its three Canadian data centers have formed one of the country's most mature interconnection hubs.

Organizations currently face demands for low-latency connectivity, scalable capacity, and secure high-performance environments when deploying data-intensive applications such as AI. Telehouse Canada offers colocation services ranging from shared cabinets to custom cages and private suites, enabling interconnection through seven on-site Meet-Me Rooms with rapid access to over 200 connectivity providers, including leading cloud service providers, and providing the low-latency connectivity required for cloud on-ramps, hybrid cloud, and multi-cloud architectures. The company serves a market encompassing enterprises and small-to-medium businesses, cloud service providers, technology startups, financial institutions, healthcare organizations, AI developers, e-commerce platforms, content providers, government agencies, and educational institutions.

The acceleration of AI applications is driving demand for higher-density architectures and more efficient cooling solutions in data centers, while enterprises require infrastructure that balances performance, resilience, and sustainability. Constraints on power supply and energy capacity are reshaping infrastructure design. Telehouse Canada's investment employs direct-to-chip liquid cooling technology, which can effectively remove up to 80% of heat from high-power server components, thereby reducing reliance on energy-intensive computer room air conditioners and server fans, lowering overall energy consumption. Its Toronto data center utilizes renewable energy and integrates Enwave's deep lake water cooling system to minimize environmental impact. Addressing growing sovereign infrastructure needs, Telehouse Canada offers Canadian-based data center solutions supporting local data residency and regulatory compliance.

Over 50% of Canadian carriers, service providers, and content providers have a presence in Telehouse Canada's data centers, with the facility playing a critical role in the flow of Canadian internet traffic. The company anticipates that AI inference workloads will be deployed closer to end users and the edge, making facilities near carrier hotels and internet exchange points increasingly important. Telehouse Canada plans to continue expanding facility capacity and enhancing capabilities to meet growing demand for connectivity services, while improving customer experience through fostering partnerships and innovative operations. The company will participate in industry events such as RAISE Paris 2026, ALL IN 2026, and the AI Infra Summit.
