In this article (5)
This certification validates the data center as a secure location for enterprises to run AI and other demanding applications using NVIDIA-accelerated computing infrastructure. The certification was awarded to the Osaka 7 Data Center (OS7) in Ibaraki City, Osaka Prefecture.
The NVIDIA DGX-Ready Data Center program certifies data centers’ ability to host high-density accelerated computing systems like the NVIDIA DGX platform and accommodate supercomputer clusters like NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD, considering storage and cooling facilities.
NTT Com has also joined the NVIDIA Partner Network as a data center provider. Within the OS7 data center, NTT Com offers high-quality network services, exceptional connectivity with Internet Exchange (IX) points, and optimal network environments. The facility can accommodate the high-density racks needed for applications like generative AI (GenAI), making it ideal for operators looking to host cutting-edge and large-scale computing systems.
OS7 plans to become a Green Nexcenter® colocation data center equipped to support liquid-cooling systems for high-density and accelerated computing systems. NTT Com also offers the “APN Dedicated Line Plan powered by IOWN” service, which connects data centers with ultra-high-speed wide bandwidth, cloud-based NVIDIA GPU services, and other networking and storage facilities.
OS7, operational since December 2019, features a server room area of approximately 4,600 m2 and has plans to expand its surface area to around 9,500 m2.
To meet the increasing demand for generative AI and other advanced applications, NTT Com plans to equip more data centers with Green Nexcenter® facilities. The first of these will be offered at the Yokohama 1 Data Center in March 2025, along with OS7 in the Kansai region.
Additionally, Green Nexcenter® will be standard equipment at the Keihanna Data Center, scheduled to open in March 2026 in Seika-Cho, Kyoto Prefecture. Overall, NTT Com is committed to providing state-of-the-art data center facilities to support the evolving needs of enterprises in the digital age.
