Colt Data Centre Services (Colt DCS), a global hyperscale and large enterprise data center solutions provider, has today announced the commencement of construction of its fourth major data center in Inzai City, Japan.
Inzai City is located in the Chiba Prefecture, north-east of Tokyo, Japan. This region is one of the most competitive areas of data center real estate for enterprise, research, and technology customers.
Colt DCS’ Inzai 4 Data Centre is located 600m from Colt Data Centre Services’ existing Inzai Campus and forms its fourth development in Inzai. This addition marks the company’s implementation of its global expansion strategy.
Inzai 4 represents the second development under the joint venture between Fidelity Investments and Mitsui following the announcement of the grand opening of the first development in Osaka Keihanna in March 2023.
Colt DCS was appointed by the joint venture as the exclusive service provider for the design, development, operations and customer service management for the venture.
The design of the Inzai 4 Data Centre has a site area of 8,747m2 and a designed capacity of approximately 20MW and is already 100% pre-let. The combined IT capacity of the extended Inzai campus is nearly 70MW.
The data center facility is located in an area with resilient fiber and connectivity solutions, a strong bedrock and a very low risk of natural disaster. It is easily accessible for customers and is located within close proximity to the three other Inzai data centers and Chiba New Town train station.
Inzai 4 is approximately 30 minutes from Narita International Airport and 35 minutes from Tokyo by express train. The first phase of the Inzai 4 Data Centre is currently expected to be completed by the end of 2024 and is expected to provide employment opportunities for 50 ~ 60 people.
In March, Colt DCS has just announced the opening of a major data center in Osaka Keihanna which also marks the company’s expansion strategy. This site also aims meet the needs of the company’s local and global customers who are looking to expand further in the APAC region.
