OREANDA-NEWS. NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com) announced that it launched its Tokyo No.6 Data Center in Tokyo, a cost-efficient, user-friendly, disaster-resistant facility with a total floor area of 22,000 square meters, enough to accommodate approximate 3,000 racks, making this Tokyo’s largest scale-data center. NTT Com will leverage this highly reliable, scalable, state-of-the-art facility to further grow its worldwide data center services, which are now marketed under the newly launched Nexcenter™ brand.

Corporate needs for cloud services, ICT outsourcing, disaster recovery and other ICT-related services have been rapidly growing due to the needs for ICT environment optimization and planning for major natural disasters. NTT Com operates data centers in more than 140 locations, amounting to a total server room floor area of over 170,000 square meters. Under its newly launched Nexcenter™ brand, NTT Com is striving to offer enhanced data center services of even higher quality than before.

Tokyo No.6 Data Center is the first of several major NTT Com data centers that will combine globally standardized service agreements, service level agreements (SLA) and customer portals with special cost-reducing features, such as advanced air conditioning systems and virtual-network-based global seamless services, including hybrid clouds.

Leading features of Tokyo No.6 Data Center follow.

NTT Com’s new data center is just seven minutes on foot from the centrally located JR loop train line, making it highly accessible even during emergencies. The building’s energy- and space-efficient design features a large rotary UPS. Racks handle equipment up to 1.5 times larger than the conventional racks, helping to lower user costs by as much as the half compared to previous rates.
