OPTAGE, a digital infrastructure and telecommunication company in Japan, today announced plans to build its fifth data center in Osaka, Japan named ‘OPTAGE Sonezaki Data Center’.
The OPTAGE Sonezaki Data Center is a 24,109 sq ft facility located at Kita-ku, Osaka, Japan and is expected to be completed in January 2026.
In Osaka, OPTAGE has run multiple data centers. This new data center is close to popular public cloud and Internet exchange access points, allowing for low latency communication. Services like cloud, IX (Internet Exchange), and carriers are generally available because the data center is carrier-neutral.
There has been an increase in demand for data centers that can communicate with cloud services with low latency as a result of the use of cloud services by several Japanese companies and municipalities in recent years.
As a result, Osaka and Tokyo are home to the majority of Japan’s data centers due to their low latency and accessibility. Since earthquakes occur frequently in Japan, disaster preparedness is also crucial, and more companies are using data centers in both Osaka and Tokyo.
Connectivity
Data centers with popular cloud and IX access points are within two miles. OPTAGE’s highly reliable fiber optic links directly to these data centers, enabling clients to communicate with stability and low latency.
Carrier Neutral
Clients are not tied to a specific service provider (Telecommunications, ISPs, etc.), allowing for diversity and flexibility. In addition, data center providers can take advantage of OPTAGE’s rich fiber optics to provide a variety of network services.
Green Energy
The non-fossil certificate with tracking will ensure that all electricity used by the data center is generated by natural resources such as solar, wind and water. We will actively work to reduce CO2 emissions and aim to become a carbon-neutral green data center that is environmentally friendly.
High-Density
The latest high-efficiency air conditioning system and optimal air flow design make it possible to handle high-density, high-load equipment. It is possible to flexibly change the system configuration as we anticipate that server performance and heat generation will continue to increase due to advances in IoT and AI.
Safety and Security
Seismic isolation design, redundant power supply systems, emergency generators that can operate continuously for more than 72 hours, and resident management 24 hours a day, 365 days a year provide stable services even in the unlikely event of a disaster.
