NTT Communications has announced today that it will establish the NTT Global Data Centers Preparatory Corporation to further strengthen data centre-related business within the group.

This is the first step in creating a wholly-owned subsidiary to comprehensively handle data centre construction, asset management and wholesale services for NTT Group companies on a global basis, helping to respond to rapidly growing demands for data centres across countries worldwide.

“NTT Com will launch the preparatory company by the end of this December. Going forward, the envisioned data centre "investment company" is expected to begin constructing data centres from April 2019,” detailed a company announcement.

“In particular, the preparatory company will integrate the NTT Group's special expertise in data centre-related real estate and finance, creating a new data centre business structure for faster decision-making and more efficient investment in data centre construction.”

Initially, the NTT Global Data Centres Preparatory Corporation will lay the ground for unifying NTT Com's global investments in data centre construction and asset management.

Thereafter, the envisioned data centre investment company will enable NTT Com to develop globally unified strategies and specifications as well as deliver services to customers as the core of the NTT Group's data centre business. The company will also enable NTT Com to centralise its own worldwide data centre businesses to satisfy the demands of NTT Com customers for globally unified and standardised services.

Going forward, NTT Com expects to accelerate its investment in data centre business, especially in the US, Europe and Asia-Pacific (including Japan), by responding more flexibly to the scale and speed of services required by customers.
