NTT Communications Expands Presence in India to Meet Growing Digital Demand
Company launches international data network services and plans to invest more than 160 million USD for data center expansion in India
Mumbai,
July 27, 2017--NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com), the ICT solutions and
international communications business within the NTT Group (TYO: 9432), today 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
USDon 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.”
