NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com), the ICT solutions and
international communications business within the NTT (NYSE:NTT) Group,
announced today that its Shanghai Pudong Data Center in the Pudong
Development Zone of Shanghai, China will begin operating on November 20.
The center, NTT Com’s third data center in Shanghai, will offer
approximately 2,600 m2 of server room, equivalent to 1,000
racks.
NTT Com expects its new facility to help meet the increasing demand for
reliable, advanced data center services in the Chinese data center
market, which grew 20% the previous year.
The Shanghai Pudong Data Center will be NTT Com’s first data center in
China capable of total-service design, construction and operation for
customers. With its full-scale capabilities, the facility will offer
total management of service quality and cost for stable, global-scale
and integrated services. Drawing on NTT Com’s expert technical know-how
and strong track record of achievement, the data center will provide
optimal data center services to customers in fields including finance,
manufacturing and IT services. Please refer to the attached

NTT Com is expanding its data center services in China to include not
only colocation but also primary cloud services, such as its Enterprise
Cloud. NTT Com offers next-generation data center services under the
Nexcenter™ brand worldwide.
(1) High-performance data center offering 20% lower costs
The Shanghai Pudong Data Center is a highly disaster-proof facility
featuring redundant power supply, air conditioning and communication
route to deal with events such as power shutdowns, equipment failures or
breakdowns during inspection. It offers 99.9999% power availability and
10kVA/rack high-density power provision. Highly efficient operation will
enable the facility to lower its costs by approximately 20% compared to
other data centers in the Shanghai area.
(2) High-reliability, low-latency and low-cost network environment
NTT Com’s new data center will utilize multiple networks of local
communications providers under a carrier-neutral policy, resulting in
network configuration with high availability. Customers will have access
to NTT Com’s Arcstar Universal One™ data network service, a
high-reliability, low-latency and low-cost global network environment
that reaches 196 countries and regions. A stable communications
environment built on direct network connections to communications
companies across China will enable customers to avoid the problem of
internet instability common in China due to inadequate connections among
local carriers. Customers will also benefit from internet services using
the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) for optimal connections among internet
webs of various locations in China, and within Chinese VPN connection
service.
(3) Compliance with ISOs/IEOs, such as ITIL
The Shanghai Pudong Data Center will offer 24/7 support in Japanese,
English and Chinese. On-site technicians will help customers achieve
secure, efficient operations based on adherence to ITIL system operation
management guidelines, as well as ISO 27001 ISO 9001 ISO 20000. ITIL, a
library of best practices for ICT service operation and management,
