Colt Data Centre Services (Colt DCS), a global provider of hyperscale and large enterprise data centre solutions, has announced the launch of its new hyperscale data centre, Inzai 4, in Tokyo, Japan. This will be Colt’s fourth site in Inzai, and the second site developed under the joint venture between Fidelity Investments and Mitsui & Co. Ltd.
According to a press release, the first phase of the development is complete, with 4.8MW now operational. Once fully built, the site will deliver 20MW, increasing Colt DCS’ total capacity in Inzai to 70MW. Inzai 4 is fully pre-let. Moreover, the site was developed following Colt DCS’ Global Reference Design (GRD) guidelines. This means incorporating various low embodied carbon principles such as; reducing water waste during the cooling process, installing cooling chillers with low Global Warming Potential (GWP) and building the site structure with minimal steel and concrete usage.
“The continued growth in digital services has created strong demand for hyperscale data centres in Japan. Inzai 4 is a testament to our commitment to meeting this demand and supporting the digital economy in the Asia-Pacific region,” said Niclas Sanfridsson, CEO, Colt DCS.
Colt DCS first launched a hyperscale data centre in the Inzai area in 2011, and has plans already underway for its Inzai 5 data centre. The area’s stable bedrock, dense fibre connectivity, efficient rail links, proximity to Tokyo and supportive local government make it a prime location for data centre expansion.
