NTT Communications (NTT Com), the ICT solutions and international
communications business within the NTT (NYSE:NTT) Group, held a ceremony
today to celebrate the launch of its fourth state-of-the-art Rimba
Digital 2 – Global Solution Center & Malaysia Cyberjaya 4 Data Center,
just two years after launching the Rimba Digital – Technology Center &
Malaysia Cyberjaya 3 Data Center. The event was officiated by Mr. Akira
Arima, President and CEO of NTT Com.
Following the success of Rimba Digital, the new Rimba Digital 2 facility
features the NTT Com Global Solution Center and the Malaysia Cyberjaya 4
Data Center to meet customer needs based on an outstanding service
model. The Malaysia Cyberjaya 4 Data Center is NTT Com’s fourth data
center in Malaysia and its 146th worldwide, marketed under the global
brand Nexcenter. It also is the company’s second Green Performing Data
Center in Malaysia, after the Malaysia Cyberjaya 3 Data Center.
Amid rising needs for IT outsourcing, the demand for interconnected,
advanced and managed data center services is growing. Industry experts
expect demand for data center facilities and services will continue to
remain strong over the next few years. Malaysia Cyberjaya 4 will meet
this demand with high-value services in Malaysia, one of the world’s
top-three destinations for IT outsourcing, backed by strong government
support.
President & CEO of NTT MSC Sdn Bhd Malaysia, Mr. Fumitoshi Imaizumi,
said, “Malaysia Cyberjaya 4 offers customers from all sectors,
particularly the Financial Services Industry, with a large number of
cutting-edge features like enhanced data security for high integrity,
reliability and performance, as well as extra-fast, extra-stable
connectivity for customers looking to outsource their data management
and communication systems. Services include not only colocation, but
also hosting, network, managed services, disaster recovery, and
security, to name a few.”
Similar to Malaysia Cyberjaya 3, this latest facility features
tenantable office space at its NTT Com Global Solution Center, providing
customers with space for remote offices or backup sites, a unique
service among data centers in this region. Based on NTT Com’s policy of
adopting best practices for its data centers, Malaysia Cyberjaya 4
facility offers cost competitive advantages to its customers who seek to
lower their operational costs. In addition, its flexible cabling system
enables customers to virtually expand facilities or modify functionality
in the ever-changing IT environment. It is an ideal facility for
companies that need customized, dedicated systems to fully control their
data and equipment.
The Malaysia Cyberjaya 4 Data Center offers cutting-edge technologies
for services that can exceed customer expectations. It caters to
high-density colocation of 3kW or above, enabling customers to optimize
information storage, backed by NTT Com’s assured management of physical
infrastructure and cooling. The facility is designed with 42,000 square
feet of white space for future infrastructure expansion, eliminating the
need for NTT Com to finance and build another facility. In addition, a
water mist system provides excellent primary fire suppression and
modular designing assures cost-effective, business-friendly outsourcing.
The Malaysia Cyberjaya 4 Data Center has a total floor space of 87,000
square feet, a twofold increase compared to the Malaysia Cyberjaya 3
Data Center. The extra space will easily accommodate higher human
capacity, providing a comfortable working area offering a number of
useful amenities to support daily operations. These include the Network
Operation Center (NOC), security room, meeting rooms, pantry, staging
areas, lockers, tape storage room and washrooms. Extra-robust security
includes a mantrap in the main entrance to suites featuring a loading
bay with interlocking roller shutters to prevent unauthorized access.
The facility also features NTT Com’s advanced cloud platform, leveraging
the company’s cloud technologies in line with its Global Cloud Vision
2015. Cloud-based services and applications available through the new
data center offer many advantages for customers that require cost
optimal solutions for installation and maintenance of on-premises
equipment, or a value for money space allocation. NTT Com’s global
seamless services supported by growing data center infrastructure are
increasingly deploying cloud technologies to enable businesses to
realize enhanced productivity and competitiveness in the highly
competitive global marketplace.
Like other NTT Com data centers, the Malaysia Cyberjaya 4 Data Center is
certified to the latest global standards, including TIA-942 Tier 3
equivalence, ISO27001:2005, GBI, LEED and PCIDSS. In addition, the new
facility is also in compliance with the Threat and Vulnerability Risk
Assessment (TVRA), reflecting NTT Com’s due diligence in housing
critical business systems and ensuring their appropriateness for
financial business purposes. Thus satisfying the growing demands for
thorough certification to ensure service trustworthiness, especially in
the areas of physical and information security. Through these and other
certifications, NTT Com is maximizing confidentiality, integrity and
availability in combination with excellent functionality and usability
for its customers.
The new Malaysia Cyberjaya 4 Data Center is a self-owned, self-built and
self-operated facility that reflects NTT Com’s commitment to
constructing its own infrastructure based on strong technical expertise
to fulfill standard or customized requirements in accordance with the
customer’s needs. Equipped with fully redundant power and cooling
systems, advanced fire detection and suppression systems, on-site
round-the-clock support from data center experts and enhanced security
access, the Malaysia Cyberjaya 4 Data Center is truly the No. 1 choice
for global ICT solutions.
