Gartner's Magic Quadrant report researches and evaluates
Asia/Pacific network service
providers based on completeness of vision and ability to execute.
Leaders are companies recognized to execute well against their
current vision and are well positioned for tomorrow(2).
"We believe Gartner's positioning of NTT Com as a leader for 10
consecutive years illustrates our favorable recognition and
reputation in the highly competitive Asia/Pacific market," said Katsumi Nakata, Senior Vice President of Global
Business at NTT Com. "Going forward, we will continue to build on
such strengths to offer high-quality, globally seamless cloud
services incorporating a comprehensive range of networks, data
centers, hosting and applications under our Global Cloud
Vision."
During 2012, NTT Com launched the Asia Submarine-cable Express,
a low-latency network system linking major Asian cities, and opened
additional data centers in Singapore and Malaysia. In India, the company acquired a majority stake
in NetMagic Solutions, a fast-growing hosting and managed IT
services provider with seven data centers in the country. NTT Com
now boasts the best data center footprint in Asia/Pacific.
Enhanced bring-your-own-device (BYOD) services are another
growing strength of NTT Com. The company is rapidly introducing new
BYOD services to support the increasing use of smartphones and
tablets as business tools.
In 2013, NTT Com will launch a financial-grade data center in
Hong Kong. Backed by its strategic
location and direct connection to the Asia Submarine-cable Express,
NTT Com will offer a comprehensive range of sophisticated solutions
for corporations, especially in the financial services field.
Nakata added: "We will continue to make further investments in
infrastructure and services as a major ICT partner for
multinational companies, particularly in Asia."
