NTT Com to Strengthen Asian Expansion with Premium Data Centers and Seamless Inter-Data Center Connectivity

TOKYO, July 22, 2010 - NTT Communications Corp. (NTT Com) announced on July 22 that it will open
premium data centers in Vietnam and Singapore and also launch a new service
that enables enterprise customers to quickly establish seamless connectivity
between core data centers under a major new strategy to expand business in
the fast-growing Asian region.

NTT Com has been enhancing its leading presence for enterprise customers
in Asia by adding offices, data centers, network and cloud-based services and
a Singaporean outsourcing provider. With these newly announced additions, NTT
Com expects to significantly upgrade its world-class ICT solutions and
quality of service for enterprise customers, especially multinationals with
multi-hub operations in Asia.

New Data Center in Vietnam

The Ho Chi Minh City Data Center will launch as a premium data center in
the city center in the third quarter of calendar 2011, joining the Thang Long
Data Center in Hanoi as NTT Com's second data center in Vietnam. It will be
designed, constructed and operated by Global Data Service JSC (GDS), a joint
venture between NTT Com and the government-owned Vietnam Posts &
Telecommunications Group (VNPT), the largest telecom in Vietnam. To ensure
stable power supply and air conditioning during long outages, both scheduled
and unscheduled, the data center will be equipped with redundant power
supply, cooling and network systems. The new facility will enable GDS to
offer integrated solutions combining premium data-center and high-quality
network resources.

New Data Center in Singapore

The Singapore Serangoon Data Center will begin operating as a dedicated
premium data center in Singapore in the first quarter of calendar 2012. 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. It will fully meet the
special needs of multinational IT and financial firms operating high-spec,
always-on communication infrastructure. The Singapore Serangoon Data Center
will feature fully redundant uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems,
cooling systems and generators for possible power outages and other issues.
Moreover, NTT Com expects the facility to obtain globally recognized
certifications for safety, efficiency and eco-friendliness, such as
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), a green-building rating
system of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), and BCA Green Mark, a
Singaporean Building & Construction Authority (BCA) program that assures the
environmental friendliness of buildings.

Both the Singapore Serangoon and Ho Chi Minh City data centers will
incorporate NTT Com's exacting standards for uniform, world-class data-center
services, facilities and operations. The standards currently number some 360
items, the result of ongoing improvements based on performance data, customer
feedback, new know-how and latest technologies. NTT Com's standards are
closely aligned with those of globally recognized organizations, such as the
Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA), The Uptime Institute, Inc.
(TUI) and the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning
Engineers, Inc. (ASHRAE).

New Inter-Data Center Connectivity Service

The Inter-Data center Connectivity Service forms the second pillar of NTT
Com's new strategy for expanding world-class ICT solutions and quality of
service in Asia. The service will utilize 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. Applications for the
Inter-Data Center Connectivity Service will be accepted from September.

Direct connection via NTT Com's backbone network will enable seamless
data communication as if the customer were using a single data center.
Multiple NTT Com data centers in the Tokyo area already offer high-speed
interconnectivity for data backup, application delivery and disaster
recovery. With the launch of the Inter-Data Center Connectivity Service, NTT
Com customers will enjoy these same benefits across the Asian region. The
Inter-Data Center Connectivity Service also will allow NTT Com to rapidly
deliver connectivity without having to newly construct networks for each
customer.

The service will be offered with guaranteed bandwidth (Type A) or
best-effort delivery (Type B). Type B will be uniformly priced worldwide,
while Type A pricing will depend on the user's requirements. "Targeting the
fast-growing Asian market, which is expected to account for 40 percent of the
global economy in 2030, NTT Com is leveraging world-class quality to offer
unrivaled one-stop solutions, from networks to cloud-based services, for
customers in this region," said Katsumi Nakata, Executive Vice President,
Global Strategy, NTT Communications. "We help multinational companies
establish footholds and grow their businesses in Asia by offering them robust
data centers, uniformly consistent network services, an expanding range of
cloud services and expert local presence in individual Asian markets. This is
why NTT Com is the ideal ICT partner among all global carriers operating in
Asia."
