Company's new virtualization services combine its hosting infrastructure with VMware's virtualization platform to deliver a flexible foundation for hosted IT infrastructures.

NTT America Inc., a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of NTT Communications Corporation, today announced that it is leveraging the global infrastructure of the parent company and its partnership with VMware to offer new and expanded capabilities across its state-of-the-art data centers and dedicated hosting platforms. The company says that the new virtualization services combine its secure hosting infrastructure with VMware's industry leading virtualization platform to deliver a highly efficient and flexible foundation for hosted IT infrastructures.

It explains that its virtualization services provide customers with key benefits, including: higher server utilization; reduced number of servers; lower overall cost; increased efficiency; increased scalability; rapid deployment of new applications; and enhanced management, control and reporting of their virtualized dedicated hosting solutions. Its virtualization services are available now in its premier data centers located in San Jose, CA and Sterling, VA.

The company further states that through a globally unified capability designed by NTT Communications, it is also offering virtualized hosting services in premier data centers located in London and Hong Kong, and later this year in Singapore. It articulates that customers using its global virtualization services gain the advantages of a single point of contact for management, support and billing; and a consistent set of virtualization services based on NTT Communications' global infrastructure. The company adds that customers can quickly build and deploy solutions that enhance their business continuity planning and enable them to be closer to their customers around the world.

"We are excited about our Virtualization Services and the worldwide capabilities we can deliver. The global partnership between VMware and our parent company, NTT Communications, makes it possible for us to extend the advantages of virtualization across our portfolio of dedicated hosting products and services, and enables our customers to quickly and cost-effectively meet their business goals," said Doug McMaster, VP of Products & Solutions, NTT America. "Virtualization Services enable customers to contain costs, improve scalability, rapidly deploy new applications, improve efficiency and usage of servers, and achieve high availability for their critical business applications."

"VMware is pleased to have NTT Communications as a service provider partner delivering enterprise-class services based on the industry-leading VMware platform," said Dan Chu, Vice President, Cloud Infrastructure and Services, VMware. "As a VMware vCloud partner, NTT America is bringing customers worldwide a highly reliable and manageable offering that is compatible with private VMware environments. We look forward to working together to enable increasingly integrated private and public cloud offerings to enterprises around the globe."
