TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com), the ICT solutions and international communications business within the NTT Group (NYSE: NTT), and Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT, NYSE: PHI), the Philippines' leading information and communications technology company, agreed on a collaboration partnership on November 5 to provide Nexcenter™ solutions in the Philippines and promote cross-selling. Under the agreement, Philippines corporations with international operations will be able to use NTT Com’s globally standardized high-quality Nexcenter™ services at some 140 locations in 84 cities of 19 countries, in addition to its Arcstar Universal One private-network service, which is already available in the Philippines.
PLDT, supported by NTT Com, expects to gain Nexcenter™ accreditation for its two main data centers and begin providing Nexcenter™ services by January 2016. In addition, PLDT will incorporate Nexcenter™ standards in a new data center now under construction, which also will be launched as a new Nexcenter™ facility. The additions will strengthen Nexcenter™ as No. 1 data center brand in the Asian region.
Also, NTT Com will use this new partnership model to further expand the Nexcenter™ footprint to other regions where high demand for data center services exists among companies looking to expand and enhance their businesses.
“With this partnership, PLDT will bring its enterprise data center and ICT service offerings to the next level, as we leverage on the world-class expertise and extensive global infrastructure of NTT Communications,” said PLDT President and CEO Napoleon Nazareno. “We are confident that this partnership will contribute to the country’s development and look forward to giving our local enterprises the much needed ICT boost, as they pursue their respective initiatives to expand locally and/or overseas.”
