Okinawa Data Center suited for BCP (Business Continuity Plan) and DR (Disaster Recovery)

JapaneseEnglish

High quality data center located in Okinawa, comes bundled with a communication line offered at a competitive price.

While we are seeing an increase in support for BCP that simulates disaster risk and also the need for DR, the need for local type data centers that are low disaster risk is increasing from the perspective of risk diversification. However, there are still companies that are not taking steps towards using local type data centers citing factors such as "The price is not so different from metropolitan type data centers", "The cost of the line to connect between a metropolitan area and local type data center is high", and "It's impossible to rush to the site when a failure occurs".

This service is an inexpensive housing service bundled with an exclusive line that connects the Okinawa Data Center and Nishi-Tokyo Data Center belonging to Canon ITS.
Using the Okinawa international information communication network (optical undersea cable) to respond to the diverse needs of customers with excellent cost performance and extensive SE services, we will eliminate any anxiety the customer has when using a local type data center.

 

Okinawa Data Center

  • We do not want to suspend the system even when a disaster occurs at the main site or when a system failure occurs.
  • We want to reduce the cost of the communication line between a metropolitan area and disaster recovery site.
  • We want to eliminate the need to rush to the data center by outsourcing the on-site response during system trouble.
  • We want to inexpensively back up data to a remote location.
  • We want to review a data center adapted to developing our business in Asia (Hong Kong, Singapore).
  • Excellent Cost PerformanceThe location in Okinawa is advantageous in terms of cost and also assistance measures to reduce the line cost (the optical undersea cable) are available from Okinawa Prefecture. These factors have enabled us to resolve the "Expensive line cost", which may have been a problem for some companies when using a local type data center. We have achieved an excellent cost performance of 98,000 yen a month (exclusive of tax) while bundling the "Exclusive line connection between Okinawa and Nishi-Tokyo Data Centers (1 Gbps, best-effort delivery)" with the "Single rack in Okinawa Data Center (100 V/20 A power single system)".
  • Extensive SE Services without the Need to Rush to the SiteWe have eliminated the customer's need to rush to the site and their anxiety when using a local type data center by enhancing the SE support services when a failure occurs or when building the environment, in addition to the existing operator services provided at the data center. The SE service price has also been reduced by adopting a pay-per-time plan for each month.
