Leading data center firm Colt Data Center Services has revealed the acquisition of a site in Osaka, Japan that will hold its first hyperscale data center in the region.
 
Colt said in its press release that it plans to begin construction of the new facility later this year to cater to Osaka’s growing position as deputy to Tokyo’s data centre hub.
 
'The acquisition of the location and our continued focus and investment in Japan is being motivated by our hyper-scale customers who are in need of large capacity requirements and want reliable and scalable solutions,” said Richard Wellbrock, Vice President of Real Estate at Colt, in the firm’s press release.
 
“We are assured that our track record of building and delivering hyper-scale facilities will be able to support the influx of cloud service providers in the country as they resume to increase their functions. The Osaka site acquisition is yet another step forward for us in significantly strengthening our foothold in APAC as well as being testament that our land banking strategy remains solid.'
 
The Osaka facility will be Colt’s third hyper-scale data center in Japan, joining the two situated near Tokyo, and is set to offer customers bilingual in-house teams for the provision of management services and support.
