Colt DCS launches its largest data centre in Japan, Inzai 3
LONDON, November 9, 2020, /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/--

Built to support growing demand in the region, the 27MW hyperscale facility has 
already achieved over 90% pre-letting 

Colt Data Centre Services (DCS) [https://www.coltdatacentres.net/ ]  today 
announces the launch of its Inzai 3 hyperscale data centre, its largest 
facility in Japan. The 27MW facility has already achieved over 90% pre-letting 
and comes at a time of increased demand in the Japanese market.  

The launch of Inzai 3 represents an expansion of Colt DCS' Inzai campus, which 
already houses two other hyperscale facilities. Between the three data centres, 
there is a total of 50MW of IT power available on the campus. In response to 
customer demand for larger data halls, Inzai 3's data halls are 1,000sqm each, 
optimising space efficiency and enabling higher density compute at an average 
of 3.375kW per sqm. 

Inzai 3 also employs the latest construction techniques to counteract the 
effects of any seismic activity in the region. The hyperscale superstructure 
sits on a system of seismic isolation mechanisms that will isolate the whole 
building from any seismic shifts and allowing it to move as one, rather than to 
sway. The result is a substantial reduction in the impact of any movement, 
protecting the building, customer hardware and staff on-site.

The new facility has been built to satisfy the growing demand for cloud-based 
solutions in the Japanese market. This is owing in part to the acceleration of 
Japan's digital transformation, led by the country's Prime Minister, Yoshihide 
Suga, and the Minister for Digital Transformation, Takuya Hirai. The nation is 
committed to unlocking the benefits of digitisation, not only for the 
government but also the private sector in an effort to transform the economy 
and society as a whole. 

"The demand we are seeing within the Japanese market is unlike ever before," 
said Hiroshige Sugihara, Head of APAC, Colt DCS. "Hyperscale, and the 
scalability and agility it provides, will be essential to foster such widescale 
growth and we are thrilled to be supporting businesses and Cloud Service 
Providers in the region with the services they require."

Colt DCS possesses over 21 years of experience in the Japanese market. During 
this time, the provider has gained significant knowledge and understanding of 
the local market, language and culture. This heritage and experience in 
managing mission-critical infrastructure will be essential as Colt DCS looks to 
support more multinational businesses and Cloud Service Providers within the 
Inzai 3 facility in the coming years. Customers will benefit from Colt DCS' 
unique ability to provide highly-skilled and experienced multi-lingual staff 
in-house to manage its facilities and provide support. As a carrier-neutral 
provider, Colt DCS can also provide Inzai 3 customers with the power and 
flexibility to choose any network carrier they want.

Quy Nguyen, VP Global Accounts & Solutions at Colt DCS  said, "While we are 
quite proud of our latest hyperscale facility, we are even more proud that we 
were able to deliver it in a responsible manner by ensuring the health and 
safety of our staff and contractors involved in the construction. By completing 
the site in a safe and timely manner, despite the pandemic disruptions of the 
last nine months, we are delighted to not only have delivered on our promise to 
clients, but to our employees and partners as well. We fully expect that demand 
for our high-quality hyperscale facilities will continue to grow in the 
Japanese market on the strength of our best-in-class operations and design and 
delivery expertise."
