RYO KURITA GENERAL MANAGER , KDDI TELEHOUSE and access the highly connected environment and dense ecosystem .
“ We are also adding a couple of more megawatts capacity in Paris and Frankfurt as well and during the last year we also opened a large Tokyo data centre campus – what we call “ Tama 5 ” – that gives us plenty of space to build even more data centre capacity in the future .
“ As a connectivity data centre provider we ' ll continue to expand our data centre portfolio on a global scale as well as enhancing our connectivity related services such as Cloud link and AWS Wavelength ,” he said .
Casting his thoughts to the future , Kurita said : “ I think everybody agrees mobile edge computing is a buzz word in the data centre and the cloud industry at the moment because more real time edge transaction is needed by the nature of the business and cloud providers want to get closer to their end users to realise seamless transactions with any devices .
“ So more of the data needs to be processed locally and that may eventually require more data centre capacity even in tier two or tier three cities . That may also require more well established connectivity even in some emerging countries . I predict that data centre demands are going to be on a more micro level and be spread around more locations with the combination of a shorter latency path ,” he said . businesschief . com 391
