IP Transit Report: NTT America Announces Worldwide Virtualization Services

NTT America today announced it is leveraging the global infrastructure of its parent company and its partnership with VMware to offer new and expanded capabilities across its state-of-the-art data centers and dedicated hosting platforms.

 

The partnership between VMware and NTT America (News - Alert), a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of NTT Communications Corporation, will aid the development of new worldwide virtualization services that combine NTT America’s secure hosting infrastructure with VMware’s virtualization platform to deliver a highly efficient and flexible foundation for hosted IT infrastructures.

 

NTT America said its virtualization services provide customers with key benefits. These include higher server utilization, reduced number of servers, lower overall cost, increased efficiency, increased scalability, rapid deployment of new applications and enhanced management, control and reporting of their virtualized dedicated hosting solutions.

 

These virtualization services are available now in its premier data centers located in San Jose, Calif., and Sterling, Va.

 

Through a globally unified capability designed by NTT Communications (News - Alert), NTT America is also offering virtualized hosting services in premier data centers located in London and Hong Kong, and later this year in Singapore.

 

“We are excited about our Virtualization Services and the worldwide capabilities we can deliver,” said Doug McMaster, VP of products and solutions, NTT America. “The global partnership between VMware and our parent company, NTT Communications, makes it possible for us to extend the advantages of virtualization across our portfolio of dedicated hosting products and services, and enables our customers to quickly and cost-effectively meet their business goals. Virtualization Services enable customers to contain costs, improve scalability, rapidly deploy new applications, improve efficiency and usage of servers, and achieve high availability for their critical business applications.”
