Digital Edge (Singapore) has announced it has entered into a partnership with Hulic, a leading Japanese real estate developer, to develop a carrier-neutral data centre facility in downtown Tokyo, Japan.
The project, known as TYO7, is designed to provide much-needed interconnect focused colocation capacity to one of the world’s largest data centre markets as Digital Edge further establishes its platform across Asia Pacific.
Japan continues to be recognised as a leader in Digital Transformation and data-driven businesses and the pace of change has only accelerated since the global pandemic.
The Tokyo data centre market is currently valued at US$2.2 billion (as of 2021) but despite growing demand, land for data centre development in the network-dense, downtown area of Tokyo is limited, making retail colocation space in a central location highly sought after by network, cloud and enterprise customers.
TYO7 is an interconnect-focused project designed to address this unmet demand and further enhance the Digital Edge ecosystem in Tokyo. The new facility will be situated only 1km from Otemachi, the central network hub of Japan and less than 300m from the company’s existing TYO2 site (formerly known as ComSpace I), which is one of the most network-dense data centres in Tokyo.
