LONDON, Feb. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

-- Colt Data Centre Services' (DCS) Inzai 1 data centre has today been awarded

the Stamp of Approval for Management & Operations (M&O) by Uptime Institute

Professional Services.

The M&O Stamp of Approval outlines the necessary measures data centre owners

and operators must take to achieve the maximum uptime of their existing data

centres. To earn the award, companies must conduct risk analysis on their

selected data centre and take the necessary steps to mitigate against these

risks.

Adherence to the Management and Operations measures has been proven to minimise

the chances of human error, which is the number one cause of data centre

downtime. It also allows companies to get the most out of their data centres

and related assets.

The M&O Stamp of Approval was awarded to Colt DCS' Inzai 1 data centre

following a document assessment in May 2020. This was subsequently followed by

a site verification assessment, which was performed from 30th November 2020 to

2nd December 2020. The award is valid until 10th December 2022.

Hiroshige Sugihara, Vice President, Head of Asia-Pacific, Colt DCS, said: "This

award demonstrates the high standards we hold ourselves to at Colt DCS. To make

sure our customers get the best possible service, we do everything we can to

avoid the risk of downtime and, as this award shows, we're succeeding.  

"This award, in addition to the launch of our Inzai 3 hyperscale facility in

2020, also highlights our commitment in helping Japan achieve its digital

transformation goals, set out by Yoshihide Suga, the Japanese Prime Minister.

Colt DCS' data centres provide a demonstrably stable and expansive platform to

support growth for countries and companies alike."

Inzai 1 is part of Colt DCS' three-site campus, which also possesses Inzai 2

and 3, both of which are hyperscale facilities. Inzai 1 remains one of the most

secure, high-specification data centres in Japan. The facility is situated in

Inzai city, Chiba, which is a low earthquake risk location just 40 minutes from

Tokyo.
