Colt, a leading international carrier-neutral data centre provider, held an opening ceremony for its second data centre in Inzai, located just east of Tokyo, to commemorate the start of construction. The new data centre is scheduled to open in the fourth quarter of 2017.
Construction will take place on the grounds of Tokyo Data Centre 2 (“TDC2” hereafter). TDC2 began operations in 2011 to satisfy pressing demand from service providers driving the cloud market, and in response to the increasingly diverse applications associated with expanding cloud usage. Its highly reputable facilities offer the highest levels of security and technical advancement in the industry.
The building will offer 15MW of critical IT load across 5,000 square meters of server room space and feature excellent energy efficiency, using state-of-the-art technologies to cater to increasing high-density customer requirements.
The global colocation market is predicted to grow by 10-15% over the next 4 years, with global data centre traffic also growing nearly threefold to 10.4 zettabytes in 2019.
