NTT Communications Corporation, the ICT solutions and
international communications business within the NTT Group has announced the
launch of international data network services in India through its affiliate NTT Communications India Network
Services (NTTCINS). The acquisition of this licence in India follows the
initiation of construction of the Company’s two new data centers in Mumbai and
Bangalore, through Netmagic, a subsidiary of NTT Com and one of the leading
managed hosting and cloud service providers in India.
This reinforces the Company’s commitment to enable customers
with high-quality infrastructure services as well as the management and
security services to meet their Information and Communications Technology
(ICT) outsourcing
needs.
NTT Com acquired Virtual Network Operator - International Long
Distance (VNO-ILD) network licence in March this year. NTT Com has been
providing Arcstar Universal One services as its international network services,
by partnering with local carriers. The Company implements its own value-added
services such as Network Virtualization Functions (NVF), while utilizing the
infrastructure of its partner carriers in India.
NTT Com
is the first Japanese ICT provider of VNO-ILD network licence in India.
On top of this move, NTT Com has decided to invest more
than 160 million USD on the two
data centers, which will become operational by April 2018. These data centers will add nearly 500,000 square feet
of gross floor space at full build. This brings NTT Com’s total gross footprint
to 1,100,000 square feet in India.
“India has been a key strategic market for us with the
accelerating shift of IT services from traditional enterprise data centres into
the cloud-based services,”said NTT Com President and CEO Tetsuya Shoji. “For
the past few years, our business in India has consistently grown over 35
percent annually. With further expansion of data center foot print and addition
of international data network services to our service portfolio, we aim to meet
the growing market needs for Mobility, e-Commerce, Internet of Things (IoT),
Cloud and Big Data.”
“There is a continuous demand for a resilient and scalable IT
Infrastructure backbone in this digital era. And, our Company has a rich
history of evolving itself ahead of the curve to meet the dynamic requirements
of our clients' businesses,” said Sharad Sanghi MD & CEO of Netmagic (An
NTT Communications Company). “Our strategy is to accommodate this demand and
ensure that our network service offering and data centres enable our ICT
clients with rich IT infrastructure for maximum connectivity and enhanced
productivity. With this two new data centers, Netmagic becomes one of the
largest data center service providers in India.”
Built to the exacting global design standards of NTT Com, the
new data centers in Mumbai and Bangalore will be accommodating 2,750 racks /
22MW power and 1,500 racks / 15 MW power respectively. With NTT Com's high-speed, high-volume Internet
