NTT SmartConnect

NTT SMARTCONNECT was established in 2000 as a strategic antenna company of the NTT-West Group. Since that time, we have contributed to the development of numerous customers' businesses by providing a broad range of services centered on data centers (housing), hosting, streaming and other Internet platforms. In recent years, we have leveraged our technologies and expertise to begin providing new value in the cloud business with comprehensive offerings ranging from virtual platforms to SaaS. Through reliable data center and IX-Direct connectivity, our leading strength is the ability to provide ongoing peace of mind to customers through the high-quality service and support that the NTT Group is uniquely capable of offering. Our corporate culture epitomizes the "venture spirit" that we have maintained since the time of our founding; we always seek to remain at the cutting edge of technology and offer services that are ever more convenient. By embracing the challenges that new business offers, we have earned the status of a trusted partner from numerous customers. With cloud computing emerging as a new infrastructure underpinning corporate activities, the role of Internet platform providers is certain to become more essential than ever before. At the same time, companies face the need to stem the proliferation of IT equipment, reduce electricity consumption and step up their environmental initiatives in other ways. We will continue facing the challenge of introducing new technologies and services in response to this social impetus as we work alongside our customers to achieve joint growth.
