AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Oracle
announced that NIPPON TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE WEST CORPORATION (NTT
WEST) is using Oracle Gen2 Exadata Cloud@Customer to support the
company's "Regional Revitalization Cloud," an initiative designed
to address regional data privacy issues. With Oracle Exadata
Cloud@Customer, NTT WEST has access to the Exadata database
platform delivered as a cloud service in its own data centers in
Nagoya so that it can meet data
locality, sovereignty, and compliance requirements that
municipalities, educational institutions, and local businesses
cannot achieve when using public cloud services. Oracle Exadata
Cloud@Customer's superior performance, availability and scalability
will enable NTT WEST to deploy mission-critical applications and
services of the "Regional Revitalization Cloud."
"Our Regional Revitalization Cloud has been built on the basic
concept of locating data close to the customer, in order to
alleviate concerns about the sovereignty of the customer's data,"
said Norihito Senda, Nagoya Branch, Advanced Solution Department,
Corporate Business Headquarters, NTT WEST. "Oracle Exadata
Cloud@Customer uses the superior technology of Oracle Database as a
cloud service delivered in our own data centers, meeting all of our
data sovereignty and compliance requirements for the Regional
Revitalization Cloud. We now have a scalable database platform,
allowing us to flexibly expand to meet further business growth and
usage increases. We look forward to leveraging Oracle's advanced
technologies, including Autonomous Database on Oracle Exadata
Cloud@Customer and the continuous support from Oracle Japan for the
future development of the Regional Revitalization Cloud."
"Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer provides NTT WEST with extreme
database performance, security, and availability to accommodate the
deployment of diverse applications and mission-critical systems for
multiple customers," said Juan
Loaiza, executive vice president of mission-critical
database technologies, Oracle. "Running Oracle Converged
database allows NTT WEST to run any workload or datatype without
the complexity of deploying, integrating, and managing multiple
databases."
NTT WEST aims to transform into a "social ICT pioneer," leading
the way in solving societal challenges by using ICT, with its
"Regional Revitalization Cloud" as a key driver to solve regional
issues. NTT WEST's initiative is based on a regional information
integration platform that combines NTT Group's various
technologies, NTT WEST's regional data centers and other
facilities, business sector-specific consulting services, along
with community-based support capabilities, and the highly advanced
cloud technologies of leading partner companies. This initiative
solves the challenges that local governments, educational
institutions, regional banks and other regional businesses face as
they seek to move to the cloud to streamline their IT operations
and reduce costs, but face challenges that prevent moving their
data to the public cloud due to compliance and data sovereignty
concerns. In order to solve these challenges for customers, the
"Regional Revitalization Cloud" aims to provide stable and advanced
cloud services that allow customers to store their sensitive data
in private and local data centers.
In the selection process for the database cloud infrastructure,
high database performance, stability, and availability were key
requirements to accommodate the deployment of diverse applications
and mission-critical systems for multiple customers. In addition,
it needed to be deployed in its own data centers to meet data
sovereignty and compliance needs, as well as to be able to flexibly
expand NTT WEST's systems and services as the business grows while
reducing the initial investment and ongoing operational costs.
After looking at a number of alternatives, NTT WEST selected Oracle
Exadata Cloud@Customer as the database cloud infrastructure that
would meet its requirements.
Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer has enabled NTT WEST to provide a
reliable service to customers using the "Regional Revitalization
Cloud," reducing system processing time by approximately 40 percent
and Oracle RAC technology provides data retention redundancy and
high availability for the database, while Exadata SmartScan speeds
up processing of large data batches during the day and night.
Oracle Multitenant allows customers to build multiple pluggable
independent databases and manage them as one instead of managing
individual systems or database instances and enables multiple
customers to use the secure database infrastructure, reducing the
burden of database management. With all these benefits, NTT WEST
reduced overall costs with pay-per-use pricing, and eliminated
human resources for hardware and infrastructure maintenance, which
is managed by Oracle.
The "Regional Revitalization Cloud" will be expanded as a
data-driven platform for a variety of applications in cooperation
with regional partner companies. In this initiative, the company
aims to respond to the industrial revitalization, job creation, and
aging population issues that local governments are facing, as well
as to improve the efficiency of work required by local companies,
which tend to have a shortage of employee resources. NTT WEST plans
to roll out the cloud platform in 30 prefectures in Western Japan.
