TOKYO, October 7, 2010 - NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com) announced on October 7 that it
will open its new premium data center, the Hong Kong Tseung Kwan O Data
Center, with commercial operation scheduled to start between January and
March of 2013.

The new Tier III (Tier IV-ready) facility will offer multinational
customers high-quality, high-reliability and environmentally friendly data
center services. As a sister facility of NTT Com's Tai Po Data Center, also
in Hong Kong, the new data center will fully meet the special needs of IT,
financial and other companies that operate demanding, always-on communication
infrastructure.

With 30,000 square meters of land space, the Tseung Kwan O Data Center
will become NTT Com's biggest data center outside of Japan, and located in
the eastern side of Kowloon.

The NTT Com-designed facility will be constructed and operated by NTT
Worldwide Telecommunications Corp., which specializes in the procurement and
management of data centers worldwide for the NTT Com Group.

NTT Com's premium data center will feature fully redundant commercial
power supply, cooling systems, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems,
generators and distribution systems for possible power outages, and full
systems for preventing fire and water damage. More than 20 KVA of power per
rack will be available to meet the increasing needs of high-density,
high-heat servers. The facility is expected to obtain globally recognized
certifications for safety, efficiency and eco-friendliness, including the
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) green-building rating
system of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).

Points of presence for NTT Com's Arcstar (TM) Global IP-VPN and Global
e-VLAN services will be co-located within the Tseung Kwan O Data Center,
enabling equipment and service backbone interconnections at relatively low
costs. Multinational customers will be able to use NTT Com's Inter-Data
Connectivity Service, which offers a large-capacity backbone for high-speed,
seamless rack-to-rack connectivity between core data centers in Singapore,
Hong Kong, Japan and the United States, ensuring rapid data backup and fast
application performance when multiple data centers are involved.

"This reflects the huge market demand for high-quality data centers, and
also reaffirms Hong Kong's edge as an international financial and
communications hub," said Takanobu Maeda, President and CEO of NTT Com Asia.
"Our data center in Tai Po is expected to be fully occupied in the coming two
years, so this new data center will further enhance our provision of
seamless, top-standard data center services."
