nec corporation: NEC Inzai

Located in Inzai City, Chiba Prefecture, Japan, the NEC Inzai Data Center is operated by NEC Corporation and sits outside major active fault lines and flood-risk zones, offering a resilient geographic foundation for enterprise and cloud infrastructure.

Positioned approximately 38 minutes from central Tokyo (Nihonbashi) and about 20 minutes from Narita International Airport, the location provides excellent access to metropolitan business hubs while remaining outside high-density seismic corridors. 

Designed for hybrid and multi-cloud deployments, the facility supports seamless connectivity to multiple public clouds and integrates a strong ecosystem of partners and carriers, making it ideal for scalable enterprise, cloud and hyperscale workloads.

Built with advanced disaster-resilient architecture including base isolation, vertical seismic dampers, and redundant power systems. These features underpin a highly available infrastructure for mission-critical workloads

With its carrier-neutral design, ecosystem-rich connectivity, and environment-friendly engineering, NEC Inzai Data Center offers an optimal platform for hyperscale, enterprise and cloud deployments.

⚙️ Facility Highlights —

• Dual-high-voltage power reception, block-redundant UPS systems, and diesel generators rated for continuous operation (e.g., 72 hours) ensure uninterrupted power supply and allow for high-availability designs.
• Cooling and building infrastructure include high-efficiency heat sources, free-cooling chiller capability (leveraging ambient air when possible), and floor loading of ~2,000 kg/m² to support high-density rack configurations. 
• The building employs modular, scalable design – with multiple floors above ground in a steel-frame, base-isolated structure – allowing flexible expansion and adaptation for changing compute/power demands. 
• Focused on sustainability: NEC’s green data centre initiative leverages free-cooling, LED lighting and renewable power sourcing to support reduced PUE and environmental impact. 

🔐 Security & Compliance —

• Multi-layer physical security includes 24×7 on-site staffing, biometric access controls, X-ray and metal-detector screening upon entry, CCTV throughout interior and exterior zones, and VESDA early-warning smoke detection. 
• The facility is certified (or scheduled) under key standards including ISO 27001 (Information Security Management), ISO 22301 (Business Continuity), ISO 20000 (IT Service Management) and others pertinent to data-centre operations. 
• Engineered to meet high-availability SLAs through fully redundant power, cooling and network systems to support enterprise-class uptime and reliability for critical infrastructure.

🌐 Connectivity & Carrier Access —

• Carrier-neutral ecosystem: The data centre offers access to multiple network providers, including dark and lit fibre options, cross-connects and cloud on-ramp services via the integrated “Cloud Connection Hub”. 
• Offers direct private connectivity to major cloud platforms: access to Microsoft Azure ExpressRoute, Amazon Web Services Direct Connect and other major cloud services from within the facility, enabling low-latency, secure hybrid-cloud architectures.
• Its strategic location and fibre-rich infrastructure deliver latency-advantaged access to Tokyo, Narita Airport and regional network backbones, supporting global, regional and local connectivity demands. 

💼 Who It Serves —

• Hyperscale cloud and AI/ML providers seeking large-scale, high-density infrastructure with multi-cloud connectivity and global reach.
• Enterprise SaaS, FinTech and healthcare IT companies requiring secure, compliant, high-availability infrastructure in the Japan market.
• Telecom operators, network carriers and content delivery platforms needing dense peering, scalable connectivity and low-latency regional access.
• Companies executing digital transformation initiatives, hybrid-cloud migrations or multi-cloud expansions within the Asia-Pacific region.
• E-commerce, logistics, media/streaming and IoT/edge enterprises seeking resilient infrastructure with robust connectivity and regional redundancy.
