NTT Communications Expands Arcstar Global IP-VPN Service

NTT Communications (NTT Com) has decided to expand its Arcstar Global IP-VPN service to the U.S. cities of Atlanta, Ga., in July, and Denver, Colo., this fall.

The company has also announced plans to introduce Arcstar Global IP-VPN points-of-presence (POPs) at its premium data centers in London on July 1 and Paris in the fall.

Arcstar Global IP-VPN, a managed network service for enterprise customers, is currently available in 159 countries and targets of the expansion include global companies headquartered in the U.S. Southeast and call centers and R&D facilities in the U.S. Midwest.


Applications will be accepted in Atlanta starting July 1 and in Denver starting in August.

Company officials said in a release that the Arcstar Global IP-VPN POP will be provided at the London Slough Data Center and the Paris Saint-Denis Data Center, which NTT (News - Alert) Com recently expanded floor space. NTT Com also offers conventional POP in these cities.

Officials pointed out that the new locations both are Tier III level data centers offering co-location, hosting and IT management, including system integration, hardware operation and maintenance, monitoring and security management.

The new POP will provide direct connection from the data centers to NTT Com’s global IP-VPN, including for flexible incorporation of the network in global IT solutions for data center customers. Applications will be accepted in London from July 1 and in Paris from around August.

NTT Communications (News - Alert) provides a broad range of global networks, management solutions and IT services to customers worldwide. The company claims that it is known for reliable, high-quality security, hosting, voice, data and IP services, as well as expertise in managed networks and leadership in IPv6 transit technology.

Recently NTT Communications Corporation and Integralis AG, a provider of IT security services, had announced the signing of a business combination agreement.

As part of this agreement, NTT Com agreed to launch a voluntary public takeover offer for all outstanding shares of Integralis, offering Euro 6.75 in cash per share.
