It will also expand an existing data center in Kanagawa Prefecture to 39,000 square meters next month.
The company is targeting the IT outsourcing market with the investment. The new Tokyo No.5 Data Center will offer 1,700 server racks when completed, while the existing Yokohama No.1 Data Center will add 950 racks for a total of 5,650 and increase its floor space by 6,400 square meters.
The Tokyo No.5 Data Center will function exclusively as a data center, supported by advanced measures for earthquake resistance, power supply, air conditioning and communication.
The site of the Yokohama No.1 Data Center was specially selected for its firm geological foundation and comparatively high elevation to ensure continued operation in the event of earthquakes or other natural disasters.
The site also is about 20 kilometers from the center of Tokyo, providing an extra measure of regional backup in the event of a disaster in the Tokyo metropolitan area, the company said in a statement.
When the Tokyo No.5 Data Center comes on line, NTT Com's existing Tokyo Metropolitan District Multi Data Center will link a total of seven data centers in Tokyo and surrounding environs. Connection by NTT Com's robust, high-quality network will provide virtual access to each data center for enhanced reliability and scalability.
