The Telstra Chayora facility in Beichen (TJ1) aims to serve an extension to Telstra’s existing nearby Tier III colocation facility in Tianjin, with up to 3000 racks of capacity available in the third quarter of 2020. The Chayora campus including the colocation facility will be served by a carrier neutral network, connecting Telstra’s existing locations in Wuqing and Shanghai and providing connectivity, managed by Telstra to Beijing.
At the new facility, all data halls are designed to Tier III maintainable international standards to accommodate the high demand for smaller scale data storage requirements, including high density requirements up to 30KVA/rack at leading edge PUEs of <1.4. TJ1 aims to complement build-to-suit services available to both international and Chinese domestic hyperscale cloud service providers elsewhere on the Chayora campus. The entire campus will be served by a Telstra managed carrier neutral network with latency to Beijing CBD of <2.5ms round trip. The plan is for each plot within the campus to be interconnected to each other and to the existing Telstra PBS data centres. Within the colocation facility customers can also access cross-connects to Telstra’s Programmable Network.
