NTT’s Global Data Centers division is expanding its worldwide co-location data centre platform with new facilities across key markets such as India, the United Kingdom, Japan, the United States, Germany, Malaysia and Indonesia.
This will add to NTT’s platform of over 500,000 sqm of colocation space across 160 data centres located in more than 20 countries and regions.
“All our new data centres will be set up for clients to use renewable energy if they choose, as NTT invests in a sustainable future for our planet,” said Masaaki Moribayashi, NTT SEVP for services
When fully complete, the new data centres will provide over 400 megawatts (MW) of IT load across these markets.
