[July 05, 2011] NTT MSC to establish new data center in Malaysia Tweet Jul 05, 2011 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- NTT Communications Corporation and its wholly owned Malaysian subsidiary, NTT MSC Sdn. Bhd, have announced that NTT MSC will begin construction of the new Cyberjaya 3 Data Center in July 2011, aiming to launch commercial operation of this Tier III-ready facility by June 2012. Located within Cyberjaya, the Cyberjaya 3 Data Center will join NTT Com's Cyberjaya 1 and Cyberjaya 2 data centers in meeting the expanding needs of Southeast Asian customers. It will offer services based on the NTT Com Group's global standards aligned with those of global organizations such as the Telecommunications Industry Association, The Uptime Institute, Inc. and the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc. "By leveraging on the key strengths of Malaysia, we will offer customers a Tier-III -ready data center at a low total-cost-of-ownership." said Fumitoshi Imaizumi, president and CEO of NTT MSC. "Malaysia offers cost advantages, well-developed infrastructure, a large talent pool and good governmental support for infrastructure development. Such strengths have propelled Malaysia into the position of one of the world's top-three outsourcing destinations." The facility will feature redundant systems for commercial power supply, cooling, uninterruptible power supply, power generator and power distribution, plus robust systems for fire and flood prevention. Built with modular architecture for flexible expansion, the facility will offer convenient on-site office space, a rarity among local facilities, as part of its total disaster recovery solution. Full-time professional support will be provided by NTT MSC's multilingual team for the total management of customer networks and servers, the company said. Customers of the new Cyberjaya 3 Data Center will receive the added benefit of extra-low-latency, extra-reliable services when the Asia Submarine-cable Express connecting Malaysia, Hong Kong, Japan, the Philippines and Singapore starts up in 2012. Customers in Malaysia will enjoy high-speed, large-capacity Internet access via NTT Com's global IP backbone and Arcstar Global IP-VPN, the company added. http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
