NTT Europe Online Launches Global Virtualization Service in Europe

LONDON, February 23, 2010 - NTT Europe Online, a European subsidiary of NTT Communications, announced
today the launch of a new service that allows customers to use virtualization
on a global scale by accessing a comprehensive array of virtualization
services via NTT Communications network of premium data centres around the
world.

The Global Virtualization Service (
www.ntteuropeonline.com/global_virtualization_service), which further
enhances the NTT Communications Group role as a global ICT solution partner,
is now available in Europe, Asia and the United States.

Companies can use the Global Virtualization Service to easily deploy
virtualized systems in a secure environment to provide enterprise
applications quickly and safely wherever needed. Using NTT Europe Online's
customer portal, clients can also turn global servers on and off to maximize
the efficiency of their IT infrastructure.

Customers benefit from NTT Europe Online's server design, installation
and operation services and also have access to a dedicated local account
manager.

Research by ITIC has shown that server virtualization deployments
remained strong throughout the economic downturn in 2009, with companies
increasingly using the technology to raise business efficiency. The launch of
NTT Europe Online's Global Virtualization Service comes at a time when the
number of businesses looking to deploy virtualization is expected to grow
substantially.

Damian Skendrovic, Vice President of Managed Services, NTT Europe Online,
said, "Virtualization is an efficient way to manage and balance data and
computing-power requirements. For many companies, the physical location of
data is important for compliance, legal reasons, serving new markets and so
on, so access to a proven global network of data centres is crucial. This is
a truly global service, offering equivalent installation and service level
agreements across three continents. Within the NTT Communications Group
alone, the service supports the websites of 16 subsidiary companies
worldwide."

The Global Virtualization Service simplifies the process of managing a
global server footprint and centralises hosting with one-stop management,
support and billing. Specific advantages include:

1. Rapid deployment and minimum up-front costs: Customers can outsource
server design, installation and operation to quickly launch operations across
multiple overseas locations. Up-front costs are low due to minimum costs of
acquisition.

2. Effective control of resources: Taking advantage of premium data
centres that are connected by NTT Communication's global network, the service
enables customers to flexibly increase or decrease server resources for
greater cost-effectiveness.

3. One-stop monitoring and operation via a portal site allows customers
to confirm virtual server status, as well as conveniently turn virtual
servers on or off. Customers also can control advanced VMware features such
as Vmotion and create snapshots of virtual machines to patch software or to
test new versions.

4. Integration services to combine business applications such as e-mail,
web and groupware, taking full advantage of the benefits of virtualization.

The service is based on the NTT Communication's global infrastructure.
