The SoftBank Group's network services enable interconnections of IT infrastructure which will be required to be integrated with various different services.

Flexible and highly capable IDCF's own

IDC Frontier has built its own closed networks among its major Data Centers, which enables you to interconnect with the Data Center, on-premise, and cloud services, and/or others. Network sites are designed to connect directly to IXes and Data Centers to be carrier-free, making connection to the services you need easier.

HYBRID

One-stop provisions of facilities, cloud, and anything neccesary in between.

IDC Frontier develops two businesses: Data Centers and clouds. By utilizing the expertise we have accumulated in each infrastructure layer, we can provide not only smooth problem-solving but also a variety of solutions that combine the best of both fields.

Facilities&Network x Cloud

In addition to on-premise connectivity, we can build hybrid clouds that securely connect clouds and colocation within a closed network in the same Data Center environment.
For the network in the Data Center, we have introduced a large-scale network "CLOS Fabric", which is also used by major overseas IT companies, to provide high-speed, broadband, and seamless interconnection between services.
We combine the confidentiality of colocation with the flexibility of the cloud to operate highly adaptive systems depending on usage applications and scales.

BASE

Extending, connecting, and non-stopping Data Centers

01

We secure space and power requirements to continue expansion at the same location.

In the "Kitakyushu Data Center" and "Shirakawa Data Center", which regard one building as one module, buildings are constructed in accordance with the scale of demand, ensuring sufficient electricity and an area that can be expanded on a large site. Customers can flexibly upgrade their systems at their sites, so they can use their systems safely for a long time.

Locations
02

"Suburban type" and "urban type", the advantages of site diversification and connectivity

In addition to suburban Data Centers, we have urban Data Centers in the Tokyo Metropolitan and Kansai areas. We have locations throughout Japan.
The East and West locations allow for the physical distribution of systems and the diversification of power providers, enabling customers to select the strengths of each location, such as connectivity between the Internet and Data Centers, as well as use for business continuity planning (BCP) and disaster recovery (DR).
03

High performance computing is also supported.

IDC Frontier is a DGX-Ready Data Center program partner. We have the power and cooling capacity to operate NVIDIA DGX system workloads to provide true system performance. Cloud computing with GPUs "GPU-as-a-service" is also available from the same Data Center.
Both colocation and cloud services respond to the high-performance computing needs of enterprises and research institutions, such as AI (artificial intelligence) and deep learning.
