NTT SmartConnect CORPORATION Data Center

The Sonezaki Data Center is a new facility designed to offer a range of services for businesses. It's built to be scalable, disaster-resistant, and well-connected, with round-the-clock support.

The data center offers a scalable housing service that can accommodate anywhere from a single rack to over 100 racks. The space is expandable up to about 3,650 square meters for every 10.0 MW of power, allowing for flexible configurations. Standard rack sizes are 700 mm wide and 1,100 mm deep (with an optional expansion to 1,200 mm). The facility is also equipped to handle high-density power requirements of more than 20 kilowatts per rack. For safety, power and network cables are routed separately.

The facility is directly connected to the Dojima, Kitahama, and Nipponbashi Data Centers via the Dojima Connect optical fiber service. This service allows for secure and reliable interconnections between businesses located in these facilities. The connections are built with minimal fusion splicing points to maintain high-quality signal transmission and use redundant paths for enhanced reliability. The Dojima Connect service is offered at a flat rate, making it an accessible option for businesses needing network interconnection points in Osaka.

The Sonezaki Data Center has robust disaster-tolerant specifications. It is built to be earthquake-proof, able to withstand earthquakes of an upper-6 intensity. The facility can also operate independently for 72 hours using its own internal power generation and a power supply from a different substation, ensuring continuous operation during an outage. To protect against floods, it's located in an area with a low tsunami risk, and critical facilities are installed on the second floor or higher. The design also allows for the flexible installation of Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems on each floor to further enhance reliability.

The data center provides reliable support services with a 24/7 manned technical support team. The staff includes English-speaking personnel and a dedicated web support desk, catering to both local and overseas customers. This ensures that help is always available, providing peace of mind for users.
