NTT America Covers Current Business Requirements and Future Business Growth Opportunities for Next Generation Internet

Wed, 18 Aug 2010 14:22:00 +0000

New York, NY – NTT America, a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com) and a global IP network services provider, today announced activities over the last quarter in support of major technology and global business trends. The company’s strategic investments are supporting customers in three main areas including cloud computing initiatives, network performance demands for new applications and the maturing of the Latin American market. Several company executives have also participated in a variety of key technology and business forums to share their experiences with Internet media market opportunities, IPv6 and business investments to support an unfolding global market.

Last quarter included NTT America’s most recent product announcement, which extends its VLink multi-location Ethernet solutions line to provide enterprises direct connectivity over multiple locations in the United States. Using VLink, content providers, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and enterprises have access to more secure network connections to interconnect corporate Ethernet-based LANs or to migrate from private lines to an Internet-based solution. VLink takes advantage of the reach and reliability of the NTT Communications Global Tier-1 IP Network to provide cost-effective IPv4 or dual stack IPv4/IPv6 on the same port.

Fostering corporate initiatives, company executives have taken part in several speaking venues on current and emerging trends in telecommunications and business including:

· Co-hosting the 27^th edition of Reunión Iberoamericana Tráfico Internacional, a bi-annual event, which brings together influential telecom executives and representatives from more than 150 carriers to discuss challenges and opportunities in the Latin American region. Michael Wheeler, vice president of the Global IP Network, NTT America, participated on the opening executive roundtable, “Regulation and Competence for New Investments and Infrastructures in Response to Challenges of Growth and Expansion of the Latin American Sector.”

· At the same conference, David Berrios, NTT America’s manager of business development for Latin America, spoke on “International Traffic Models,” discussing methods of reinventing traditional models in light of new competition and next generation networks (NGNs) opportunities.

· Bringing unique insights to executives in the converging world of film, television, music, video, cable, computing and telecom, Michael Wheeler joined other industry leaders on a panel entitled “Content Delivery—Rich Media—The Three Screen Challenge: PC, TV and Mobile,” at the Digital Hollywood Spring conference. Mr. Wheeler covered how decision makers can cost effectively deploy next generation services and applications to support additional revenue opportunities.

· Mr. Wheeler spoke on “Leveraging Infrastructure Assets to Get with the Program,” at the OTTcon East conference where he discussed how to combine a provider’s infrastructure assets (technology investments, financial depth, and international access) with a company’s existing assets to successfully deliver OTT TV and video, as well as other new applications. In addition, Mr. Wheeler touched on how new advances in IPv6 and 100GigE provide a platform to give broadcasters, ISPs and infrastructure providers a competitive advantage.

· Doug Junkins, NTT America’s CTO and vice president of IP development for NTT America’s Global IP Network, addressed “IPv6 Deployment & Commercial Applications at NTT America,” on a FutureNet conference panel entitled, “IPv6: Reality Check.” He discussed current issues and drivers of IPv6, such as new applications and IPv4 address depletion. NTT America is a leader in both the implementation of IPv6 and advocacy for IPv6 adoption and remains committed to sharing IPv6 experience, lessons learned and best practices with other leaders in the industry.

· The company provided additional support of IPv6 adoption through a gold sponsorship of the Rocky Mountain IPv6 Task Force’s (RMv6TF) IPv6 Summit, the largest annual IPv6 event in North America. Currently, approximately 20 percent of NTT America’s Global IP Network customer ports are IPv6 enabled and 40 percent of NTT America’s peering ports are also IPv6 enabled giving companies a flexible and speedy transition path. IPv6 allows businesses that need to stay competitive on a global basis the ability take advantage of new applications in every market from entertainment to disaster response, while helping to ensure business continuity as IPv4 addresses dwindle.

In addition, NTT America, in partnership with Dynamic Network Services Inc. (DYN Inc.), published a case study, “A DYNamic Duo in Infrastructure,” highlighting the benefits of selecting a Tier-1 Global IP Network in a market that demands high performance response, speed, engineering-based customer support and IPv6 readiness.

NTT America Extends Enterprise Cloud Offering with New Storage Platform

Mon, 26 Jul 2010 15:17:00 +0000

New York, NY – NTT America, Inc., a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of NTT Communications Corporation, today announced the availability of Cloud Files, a cloud storage solution offering enterprise-class security, high-availability and control to enhance the company’s local public cloud suite announced in May. By using Cloud Files, enterprises can eliminate the capital investment and resources associated with content storage, the purchase of SAN and NAS systems, and the management of backup and archival information. In addition to a cost-effective "pay as you go" subscription model, Cloud Files offers features that enterprises expect when putting business-critical media and data in the cloud, including SAS 70 Type II audit, in-flight and at-rest encryption, and 24x7 customer support by engineers. The service is immediately available for the U.S. enterprise customers of all sizes.

Cloud Files can be used on a standalone basis or as a shared storage resource as part of the NTT America Cloud services. This means customers are able to use Cloud Files as an efficient storage medium across all their Web or IT properties, eliminating duplication of data and additional hardware and simplifying storage management.

Included in Cloud Files is a full suite of management controls to give customers more flexibility in managing ongoing storage requirements. System administrators can set usage quotas with role-based permissions, allowing IT administrators to allocate appropriate storage based on department requirements. Companies can also create unlimited storage accounts, which are clearly defined with account names and descriptions, making it easy to manage files and grow storage in line with their business requirements.

Cloud Files enables IT departments to move storage from a capital expense to an operational expense, giving greater flexibility in planning and allocation of capital. IT departments can also save on disaster recovery costs and planning since storing data in the cloud requires no remote physical storage locations and the data is protected from any local disaster scenarios. Pricing is based on usage, and starts at US$0.15 per gigabyte per month, with volume discounts available.

"With Cloud Files we are providing customers with flexibility never seen before in the storage arena." said Doug McMaster, VP of Products & Solutions, NTT America. "Whether it's something simple such as sharing images across websites, or more complex, such as part of a comprehensive disaster recovery strategy, Cloud Files gives customers an unprecedented capability to simplify their storage processes and focus internal IT resources on business critical issues."

NTT America Introduces VLink Ethernet Solution

Thu, 15 Jul 2010 15:15:00 +0000

New York, NY – NTT America, a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com) and a global IP network services provider, today announced the latest evolution of VLink, a multi-location Ethernet solution that provides content providers, Internet service providers (ISPs), and enterprises direct connectivity among their multiple locations and provides an alternative to point-to-point connections. As companies move their internal IT services to cloud-based environments, the development of innovative solutions to meet the complex needs of these customers remains essential. VLink gives companies in the United States a simple way to integrate WAN reach into existing Ethernet-based LANs without additional overhead costs and training.

As a Layer 2 Virtual Private Network (L2VPN) solution, VLink maintains a prioritized path on the network to carry data, voice, and video all on the same physical link, offering more secure connectivity for companies to interconnect corporate Ethernet-based LANs or to migrate from private lines to an Internet-based solution without the perceived security risks associated with sending data over the Internet. VLink gives companies the ability to connect to three or more point of presence (PoP) locations in the United States by leveraging the reach and reliability of the NTT Com Global Tier-1 IP Network.

With VLink, customers can combine their L2VPN and Internet access (IPv4 or dual-stack IPv4/IPv6) on the same physical port, reducing the number of required ports, connections and overhead. The solution is available in three configurations to best meet customer requirements:

· VLink Direct – point-to-point architecture that links any 2 locations;

· VLink Plus – connecting a primary location with 2 or more other locations, often used in a headquarter and satellite office environment;

· VLink Mesh – connecting 3 or more locations to each other, establishing a fully connected model.

“As more and more companies look to the cloud for cost-effective network solutions, the delivery method for critical data is key,” said Teri Francis, executive director of customer solutions for NTT America. “VLink reduces the need to manage disparate technology platforms and enables customers to deliver information in a more secure and efficient manner.”

Backed by NTT America’s industry-leading Service Level Agreements (SLAs), which guarantee the VLink service to be free of network outages 100 percent of the time, the service allows dedicated bandwidth from 100 Mbps to 10Gbps in 100 Mbps increments for flexible, quick upgrades with simple software changes and secure port-based connections. As a virtual point-to-point connection operating over the NTT Com Global IP Network, VLink allows major content providers, ISPs and enterprises in the United States to efficiently deliver content through major Internet network nodes and data centers located in key U.S. cities, providing the best end-user experience for customers as video and user-generated content continues to drive bandwidth needs.

“As global demand for the delivery of dynamic, on-demand services and applications to a diverse set of users grows, reliability and performance of IP networks will continue to play a critical role in maximizing the value of cloud computing and connecting users to the cloud,” said Sandra Palumbo, research fellow at Yankee Group.

“Investments in a reliable and secure network are a critical part of the infrastructure to support this anticipated growth.”

As companies face challenges managing rising customer demand for new content and services over the Internet, the performance and quality of the network has become a strategic imperative. The NTT Com Global IP network supports this demand by shaping IP transit bandwidth up to 10Gbps, delivered over both the current Internet protocol (IPv4) and the next generation Internet protocol (IPv6), and offering the fastest provisioning of any number of 10GigE ports available. In addition, NTT America provides flexible and fast dedicated access to the global Internet, the most aggressive Service Level Agreements (SLAs) in the industry and over 1Tbps of peering capacity globally allowing businesses to control network communications costs, consolidate services onto a common infrastructure, and enable more tailored services for consumers.

NTT America Announces Global Virtualization Services Now Available in Singapore

Tue, 13 Jul 2010 15:00:00 +0000

New York, NY – NTT America, Inc., a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com) and a global Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) provider, today announced the expansion of its Global Virtualization Services (GVS) offering with the addition of the Singapore premium data center. NTT America first announced the GVS offering in February, 2010, with the launch of the San Jose, Sterling, London and Hong Kong datacenters.

Global Virtualization Services targets enterprises and multinational corporations seeking to lower their capital expenditures through outsourcing of their server environments. Compared to building a server environment of their own, these businesses realize significant cost savings as they require far fewer servers when in a virtualized environment. GVS achieves this though higher server utilization, rapid deployment of additional servers and new applications, as well as enhanced management, control and reporting through the customer portal.

“The demand for our virtualization services has been very strong since our introduction earlier this year,” said Doug McMaster, vice president of product and solutions for the Enterprise Solutions Business Unit at NTT America. “With the introduction of GVS in the Singapore premium data center, enterprises and multinational corporations with operations or customers in the region will benefit from our infrastructure, network performance and datacenter facility.”

Customers benefit from having many geographically dispersed datacenters to choose from for their hosting needs, allowing the data to reside closest to their end users for better performance. Additionally, both the existing and new datacenters all have direct backbone connections to the NTT Com Global IP Network, providing optimal Internet route access, global tier-1 backbone private peering, and industry-leading network SLAs. The datacenter is connected to other Southeast Asia regions via six diverse submarine cable systems to ensure redundancy. The Singapore premium datacenter is a purpose built facility and operates under some of the most stringent datacenter requirements in the country, including true 2N redundant power systems.

NTT America’s customers using Global Virtualization Services gain the advantages of a single point of contact for management, support and billing and a consistent set of Virtualization Services based on NTT Communications’ global infrastructure. Customers can quickly build and deploy follow-the-sun solutions that enhance their business continuity planning and enable them to be closer to their customers around the world.

The service is called Biz Hosting Global in Japan and based on the NTT Com’s global infrastructure.

NTT America’s Global IP Network Supports World’s Fastest Growing Provider of Managed DNS

Tue, 22 Jun 2010 14:34:00 +0000

New York, NY – NTT America, a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com) and a global IP network services provider, today announced the company is helping customers provide premium externally managed DNS options for corporations and enterprises that need global, 24/7 access and support through its highest quality, fully redundant, dual stack, Tier-1 Global IP Network, as illustrated in a case study with Dynamic Network Services Inc. (Dyn Inc.), the world’s fastest growing provider of managed DNS.

When selecting an infrastructure partner, Dyn prioritized top criteria including a high performance, IPv6 ready, global network supported by engineering based customer service and chose NTT America to help power the Web infrastructure of customers like Zappos, Netflix and Twitter. “For our customers, it’s all about performance; our goal is to optimize the speed of response,” said Tom Daly, Dyn’s President and CTO. “That’s why the only option is to go with a Tier-1 network and NTT America is one of the best in the world. The investment required to keep a global network running at the performance levels we need is one of the major factors in our choice of network partners.”

Dyn’s solutions for enterprises are based on the Dynect Platform, a scalable external DNS platform that directs Internet traffic, routes around outages and maximizes network performance. The platform has key features that enterprises demand in a premium service including active failover to avoid any outage events, efficient network load balancing and a CDN manager, which provides geographical or weighed load balancing to improve performance and cost efficiencies.

“The kind of advanced solutions we are able to offer depends fundamentally on two things, technical expertise and innovation, as well as support and service levels that are second to none,” commented Daly. “One of the things about NTT America that really impressed us, and maybe it’s because we are 90 percent staffed by engineers, is that if we have any issue or question, our calls are answered directly by a network engineer 24/7 in their Network Operations Center (NOC). You aren’t routed to a call center where your call is triaged by someone who doesn’t understand the issue. This is really critical to both us and our customers because we guarantee nearly 100 percent DNS resolution, just like NTT America guarantees 100 percent uptime.”

“Both Dyn and NTT America share a keen understanding of Internet and network infrastructure and Dyn can leverage a wide variety of NTT America’s infrastructure assets including financial stability, depth of services and a forward thinking approach on using innovation to help efficiently and cost effectively grow businesses,” said Shuichi Ikeda, vice president of sales and business development for NTT America’s Global IP Network Business Unit.

As a Tier-1 provider, NTT America’s Global IP Network (GIN) provides private peering and seamless service from a single global ASN (ASN2914), directly connecting telecoms, ISPs, content providers, CDNs and enterprises at the highest performance levels available. In addition to its US and Latin American networking capabilities, NTT America employs six transpacific cable systems to provide one of the shortest, fastest paths for transpacific Internet traffic, meeting and often exceeding the performance metrics set by customers. In addition, the transpacific portion of the network has reached 300 gigabytes (300Gbps) per second of available capacity, one of the highest available for any global Tier-1 network. (Note: To view the NTT Communications Global IP Network, visit: http://www.ntt.net/english/about/network_map.cfm.)

The conference will provide a forum for leading innovators, analysts and technology experts to address the key technical and market issues faced by strategic planners who are confronted with a myriad of critical business and technology issues in the increasingly disaggregated world of video entertainment. Conference attendees will include OTT service providers, multiple system operators (MSOs), satellite and telecommunications companies, Internet Service Providers (ISPs), content delivery networks (CDNs) and broadband providers.

“How we watch television is changing dramatically, but what consumers have come to expect in terms of quality is not,” said Michael Wheeler, vice president of the Global IP Network for NTT America. “Our goal as a service provider is to make certain that our network exceeds the expectations of our CDN, ISP and infrastructure customers so their end users have a seamless over-the-top video experience.”

During the panel, Mr. Wheeler will address opportunities for media and entertainment companies, ISPs and infrastructure providers seeking optimal network architecture for content distribution and delivery worldwide. He’ll talk about why flexibility in shaping bandwidth, connections and pricing are fundamental to containing costs. Attendees will learn how to combine their provider’s infrastructure assets (technology investments, financial depth, and international access) with their own assets to successfully deliver OTT TV and video, as well as other new applications. The resulting combination can provide new levels of network speed, reliability, and quality that can redefine a company’s growth strategies. Mr. Wheeler will also give a glimpse into the future, touching on how new advances in IPv6 and 100GigE provide a platform to give broadcasters, ISPs and infrastructure providers a competitive advantage.

In his role as vice president, Mr. Wheeler is responsible for leading the Global IP Network Business Unit, including all facets of finance, engineering and customer relations. The Global IP Network (GIN) Business Unit operates one of the leading Global Tier-1 Internet backbones and offers direct IP transit connections to telecommunications companies, Internet Service Providers (ISPs), content providers, Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), enterprises and Web hosting companies.

NTT America’s Infrastructure Investments Anticipate Customer Demand

Wed, 26 May 2010 23:23:00 +0000

New York, NY – NTT America, a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com) and a global IP network services provider, today announced continued progress in the company’s ongoing commitment to making infrastructure investments that support customer requirements for increased bandwidth and that take advantage of the latest advancements in networking technology to prepare companies for current and future business opportunities on an international basis. Building on several corporate initiatives, NTT America’s executives have contributed the company’s practical experience with market leading technologies such as IPv6, as well as insights into the global demand for rich media content and high impact international geographies for business growth, at several key conferences.

As a result of the company’s investments in network infrastructure, the NTT Com Global IP Network reached the milestone of 300 Gigabits per second (Gbps) of available capacity on the transpacific portion of the network.

300 Gbps is one of the highest available capacities of any global Tier-1 network and allows NTT America to serve growing international customer bases and provide a cost-effective solution to meet demand for unprecedented bandwidth, speed and capacity. In addition, NTT America deployed Cisco’s ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router to scale its Global IP Network infrastructure for leading capacity, nonstop video, power efficiency, robust IPv6 support and integrated video monitoring intelligence. NTT America maintained its Global IP Network’s carrier-grade IPv6 capability; the Global IP Network has been running both IPv4 and IPv6 worldwide since 2001. IPv6 presents a major opportunity to businesses that need to stay competitive on a global basis, allowing them to take advantage of new applications in every market from entertainment to disaster response, while ensuring business continuity as IPv4 addresses dwindle. (Note: To view the NTT Communications Global IP Network, visit:

“As we move toward the reality of 100GigE, we continue to look ahead to determine what is on the horizon both for our network and our customers,” said Michael Wheeler, vice president of the Global IP Network for NTT America. “Enabling our network infrastructure to support the highest available capacity with leading edge technology and almost unlimited IP addresses will help prepare our customers for future business opportunities and next generation products and services.”

During the beginning of 2010, company executives spoke on critical global business and technical issues for the development and deployment of the next generation Internet. Highlights include:

· Michael Wheeler, vice president of the Global IP Network, NTT America, offered his perspective on the changing requirements of the Latin American end-user in the content space, specifically key services and applications driving demand and demand for interactive content, as part of the panel, “Strategies to Capitalize on the Growth of Rich-Media Content: Capacity Planning and Service Delivery,” at Capacity Latin America 2010. In addition, Shuichi Ikeda, vice president of sales and business development, Global IP Network, NTT America, joined analysts and executives on the panel, “The Internet Boom: Delivering Broadband Across Latin America.”

· As part of NTT America’s ongoing commitment to create awareness for and adoption of IPv6, the company spoke on the topic of “IPv6 Commercial Applications” during the IPv6 Session workshop at the 29^th Annual APAN (Asia-Pacific Advanced Network) Meeting. In addition, NTT America joined IPv6 subject matter experts and leaders from around the world at PTC’10, the 32nd annual Pacific Telecommunications Council (PTC) conference, offering the company’s perspective on the benefits of IPv6 as part of the roundtable, “IPv6--The Next Big Bail Out: Will IPv6 Save the Internet?”

NTT America Creates Environment for Innovation with IPv6

Mon, 24 May 2010 13:53:00 +0000

New York, NY – NTT America, a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com), and a global IP network services provider, today announced support of its ongoing IPv6 initiative with gold sponsorship of the Rocky Mountain IPv6 Task Force’s (RMv6TF) IPv6 Summit, which will be held at the Hyatt Regency Denver at Colorado Convention Center from May 26 to May 27, 2010 in Denver, Colorado. By supporting IPv6 transit service in native, tunneled or dual stack modes, NTT America provides a flexible and speedy transition path for businesses that need to stay competitive on a global basis, allowing them to take advantage of new applications in every market from entertainment to disaster response, while helping to ensure business continuity as IPv4 addresses dwindle.

Now in its third year, the RMv6TF IPv6 Summit is the largest annual IPv6 event in North America. The two-day educational event and expo will address the current state of IPv6 adoption, what organizations are doing to prepare for the migration to IPv6 and how organizations are already utilizing the benefits of IPv6. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about IPv6 to help stay in front of the technology curve, ensure they have a future career path in network technology and collaborate with others in the field. In addition, IPv6 experts and industry leaders will offer counsel to companies regarding government mandates and business requirements for IPv6 and will provide insight on the proper way to deploy dual-stack (IPv4 and IPv6) operating systems.

NTT America’s IPv6 Tier-1 Global IP Network has evolved to meet the growing needs of international business. Currently, approximately 20 percent of NTT America’s customer ports are IPv6 enabled and 40 percent of NTT America’s peering ports are also IPv6 enabled giving companies unprecedented access to worldwide markets. The most significant growth in IPv6 adoption has been in Internet and telecommunications, hardware and manufacturing as well as web hosting and web services, all highly competitive markets where it is vital to stay ahead of the technology curve.

“We have long been a proponent of IPv6 and recognize the value of education when it comes to supporting businesses in the transition to the next generation Internet,” said Scott Heller, director of marketing for NTT America’s Global IP Network. “As IPv4 addresses continue to deplete, and more and more applications are created on IP, it is imperative that organizations understand the importance of IPv6 when it comes to remaining competitive on a global basis.”

As a leader in both the implementation of IPv6 and advocacy for IPv6 adoption for more than a decade, NTT America remains committed to sharing IPv6 experience, lessons learned and best practices with other leaders in the industry. The NTT Communications Global IP Network was the first Tier-1 network fully upgraded to run IPv6 and is one of the world’s largest commercial IPv6 networks. Support of IPv4 and IPv6 was a factor NTT America considered when the company recently chose to deploy the Cisco® ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router to scale its Global IP Network infrastructure for leading capacity, nonstop video, power efficiency, robust IPv6 support and integrated video monitoring intelligence. (Note: To view the NTT Communications Global IP Network, visit: http://www.ntt.net/english/about/network_map.cfm)

As evidence of the company’s ongoing support and knowledge of IPv6 and the growing interest by the business community in preparing to transition to the new protocol, NTT America was invited to participate in a variety of conferences to inform, update and educate on its experiences. The conferences included:

· In January, NTT America took part in a panel entitled “IPv6--The Next Big Bail Out: Will IPv6 Save the Internet?” at PTC’10 in Honolulu

· In February, NTT America spoke at APAN 29 in Sydney, Australia highlighting real world IPv6 Commercial Applications

· In May, NTT America participated on the “IPv6: Reality Check” panel with other industry leaders including Comcast, ARIN and the University of New Hampshire’s InterOperability Laboratory at FutureNet 2010 in Boston

NTT America Champions Solution Partners Program at Spring 2010 Channel Partners Conference and Expo

Tue, 02 Mar 2010 16:08:00 +0000

NEW YORK – NTT America, a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com) and a global IP network services provider, today announced company executives will attend the Spring 2010 Channel Partners Conference & Expo, March 1-3 at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, to meet current and potential solution partners and discuss NTT America’s Global IP Network (GIN) Solution Partners Program. NTT America’s booth number is 1431. NTT America’s GIN Solution Partners Program is a channel neutral program that enables qualified referral partners, agents and Value Added Resellers (VARs) to sell NTT America’s entire suite of domestic and international IP and data solutions including Fast Ethernet (FE), Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) and 10GigE. The company has recently released a case study with Silent Partner, a firm that provides Internet connectivity and colocation services, emphasizing the unique benefits of channel neutral partnerships.

NTT America’s GIN Solution Partners Program is channel neutral, which means that NTT America’s GIN direct sales team and the channel team avoid competition and work together to win new customers. The channel integration aspect of the program eliminates channel conflict and opens the door to new sales opportunities, creating a winning scenario for NTT America and the company’s Solution Partners. In addition, Solution Partners benefit from NTT America’s industry leading provisioning and from the ability to sell 10GigE. 10GigE is a flexible, ultra high bandwidth solution designed for the largest colocation and hosting firms, large Internet Service Providers (ISPs), incumbent Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) providers, content providers with rich and streaming media, and Multiple System Operators (MSOs) with the ability to grow to a full 10 Gigabits per second (Gbps).

The channel neutral approach has proven beneficial for NTT America’s Solution Partner Silent Partner, as the relationship exemplifies how to provide optimal colocation and network strategy to benefit a myriad of clients. Silent Partner recognized that if businesses had a trusted partner to determine key elements of network strategy and implementation, and act in their best interests in negotiating with some of the largest telecom and network service providers, it would allow companies to focus on what they do best, making their business profitable and productive. The firm achieved this by creating a unique ecosystem to foster relationships between clients and a pre-vetted network of complementary businesses and professionals. Part of Silent Partner’s ecosystem, NTT America provides products and services including the NTT Communications Global IP Network, a Tier 1 Internet backbone that serves the US, Central and Latin America, Europe, Oceania, Japan and Asia as well as strategically placed data centers located across these same locations.

NTT America brings an array of assets to the table that Silent Partner considers important when determining a good partner fit, including proximity of data centers, networks with expansive reach, access to all levels of a partner organization and the ability to move quickly to get clients needs met. In addition, NTT America’s industry leading Service Level Agreements (SLAs), highly reliable infrastructure and strong presence in Asia are key attributes which have made the Solution Partner relationship successful because Silent Partner’s clients businesses depend on the constant and instant accessibility offered by the NTT America network and its data centers.

“NTT America’s channel neutral approach lets us work with them as a team for our clients,” said Kevin Francis, principal, Silent Partner. “We’re empowered to work with whatever level of their organization we need to get things done. In the end it’s not about who worked with the client but that the plan we designed gets implemented and NTT America is behind us 100 percent, working with us as collaborators to add value beyond price.”

NTT America’s GIN Solutions Partners Program provides participants with sales training, on-line portals, lucrative compensations, competitive pricing, and technical support. Qualified participants may enter the Referral Program, Agent Program or Reseller Program.
• Referral Program: Referral Program Partners receive a one-time commission on the monthly recurring revenue.
• Agent Program: Agents receive lucrative monthly commissions on the monthly recurring revenue of a closed opportunity. NTT America’s sales team and the agent work together to close the customer business. NTT America is the customer’s first line of support, enabling the agent to concentrate on their core business and finding more opportunities.
• Reseller Program: Resellers do not receive commissions but are given a discounted static pricing book. The reseller is the customer’s first line of technical support and billing support.

Potential channel partners are invited to contact channel@us.ntt.net to see which Solutions Partners Program fits their business and to schedule a meeting with NTT America’s Global IP Network team at the Channel Partners Conference and Expo.

NTT America Anticipates Continued Capacity Demand for Broadband Networks

Thu, 11 Feb 2010 16:05:00 +0000

New York, NY – NTT America, a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com) and a global IP network services provider, today announced the NTT Com Global IP Network has reached 300 Gigabits per second (Gbps) of available capacity on the transpacific portion of the network, the highest available capacity of any global Tier-1 network, serving growing international customer bases and providing a cost-effective solution to meet demand for unprecedented bandwidth speed and capacity. NTT America directly connects telecommunications companies, Internet Service Providers (ISPs), content providers, Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) and enterprises to major markets around the world via its Global Tier-1 IP Backbone Network (NTT Communications Global IP Network).

The global reach of the network allows a variety of markets, such as financial, gaming, and social networking, in the United States, Europe, Latin America and Asia to efficiently deliver content internationally through Internet network nodes and data centers located in key U.S. and Japanese cities, offering the best end-user experience for customers as content continues to drive bandwidth needs. The increased bandwidth will benefit customers connecting through Point of Presence (PoP) locations on the NTT Com Global IP Network backbone in the US, Europe and Asia Pacific, giving them a competitive advantage.

As a long-term leader in the Asian telecommunications market, NTT Com’s acquisition last year of Pacific Crossing Limited (PCL), operator of the PC-1 transpacific cable network allows customers fast, reliable and cost effective access to financial and international markets. PC-1 provides the highest quality network services and shortest route between Asia, Japan and the US and the lowest latency across the Pacific. By utilizing three cable systems—PC-1, Tyco Global Network (TGN) and Japan-US (JP-US) – NTT America provides the shortest path for transpacific Internet traffic and enables increased capacity while maintaining the performance and reliability of the NTT Com Global IP Network.

“As international traffic growth accelerated in the last year, global Internet backbone operators have responded to this demand with impressive amounts of new capacity,” said Alan Mauldin, research director at TeleGeography. “Not only did the traffic on transpacific links experience considerable growth in 2009, but average international traffic with Asia grew 80 percent, which was more rapid than Europe, Latin America or the US and Canada.”

As content providers and CDNs face challenges managing rising customer demand for new content and services over the Internet, the performance and quality of the network has become a strategic imperative. NTT America supports this demand by shaping IP transit bandwidth up to 10Gbps, delivered over both the current Internet protocol (IPv4) and the next generation Internet protocol (IPv6), and offering the fastest provisioning of any number of 10GigE ports available. In addition, NTT America provides flexible and fast dedicated access to the global Internet, the most aggressive Service Level Agreements (SLAs) in the industry and over 1Tbps of peering capacity globally for content providers and CDNs, allowing them to control network communications costs, consolidate services onto a common infrastructure, and enable more tailored services for consumers. (Note: To view the NTT Communications Global IP Network, visit: www.ntt.net/english/about/network_map.cfm)

“Network traffic growth is not slowing down, especially transpacific traffic,” said Doug Junkins, CTO of NTT America. “Our continued investment in our network infrastructure is a priority that keeps us ahead of the curve when it comes to providing our customers with flexible, cost-effective and high performance solutions to meet their bandwidth needs.”

About NTT America NTT America is North America’s natural gateway to the Asia-Pacific region, with strong capabilities in the U.S. market. NTT America is the U.S. subsidiary of NTT Communications Corporation, the global data and IP services arm of a Fortune Global 500 telecom leader: Nippon Telegraph & Telephone Corporation (NTT).

NTT America Executives Keynote and Present at IEEE GLOBECOM 2009

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 13:10:00 +0000

NEW YORK, NY – November 30, 2009 – NTT America, a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com), today announced the company’s COO, Kazuhiro Gomi, will deliver the keynote address for Enterprise Networking (ENTNET) 2009, a long-running conference organized under the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) for the purpose of promulgating an understanding of the development and evolution of enterprise-level networking technologies, at IEEE GLOBECOM 2009.

The event will be held November 30 to December 4 at the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Honolulu, Hawaii.

ENTNET 2009 will focus on Advances in Enterprise Networking Solutions: LAN/WAN, Wireless, Security, and Network Management. At the forefront of NTT Communications’ global business development as a leading provider of enterprise hosting, managed network, and global IP networking services including IPv6, NTT America has unique insight into how enterprise customers and service providers worldwide can cost effectively and productively deploy next generation services and applications to support growth and additional revenue opportunities. Mr. Gomi will present on the topic of navigating international trends in business and technology.

Mr. Gomi leads NTT America as its COO, overseeing the Enterprise Solutions and the Global IP Network business units, which comprise the operations of NTT America, including all facets of finance, engineering, operations and customer relations. During his keynote presentation, he will discuss challenges and opportunities surrounding the dramatic increase in worldwide demand for Internet access. Three key issues dominate the future landscape: the growing number of Internet-enabled devices, the changing variety of available web applications both for businesses and consumers, as well as the necessity of unifying communications across platforms. The keynote presentation will include the importance of an international point of view on business, what countries will have the most impact on demand creation and how network security will continue to play a critical role in growth.

“The NEXT BIG BAIL-OUT: Will IPv6 Save the Internet?” is the theme of the IPv6 Forum, which will feature IPv6 subject matter experts and leaders from around the world. As director of product engineering, Mr. Christman directs a team of senior engineers in designing products to meet strategic business objectives for the NTT Communications Global IP Network, which was the first Tier-1 network fully upgraded to run IPv6 and is one of the world’s largest commercial IPv6 networks. With real-world IPv6 experience, both architecturally and operationally, Mr. Christman, will speak on “IPv6 Deployment & Commercial Applications at NTT America.”

While the finite number of IPv4 addresses presents a serious challenge, the solution – IPv6 – presents a major opportunity. Mr. Christman will discuss the benefits of IPv6 by demonstrating the protocol’s effectiveness through the use of real-world, commercially available applications that leverage IPv6 multicast such as Hikari-TV, the large scale, commercially successful IPTV over IPv6 service, and an Earthquake Early Warning System. The applications will show first-hand how IPv6 technologies can be used in everyday life. (Note: To view the NTT Communications Global IP Network, visit: http://www.ntt.net/english/about/network_map.cfm).

“IEEE GLOBECOM is a premier communications event for industry professionals and academics from companies, governmental agencies and universities from around the world,” said Christopher Davis, director of marketing for NTT America’s Global IP Network. “In addition, this year’s theme, ‘Riding the Wave to Global Connectivity,’ makes GLOBECOM 2009 an excellent event for Mr. Gomi and Mr. Christman to share their insight on the issues and technologies currently driving and supporting global Internet demand.”

NTT America Sees Opportunity in Broadband Uptake in Latin America

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 13:14:00 +0000

New York, NY – NTT America, a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com) and a Tier-1 global IP network services provider, today announced Michael Wheeler, vice president of the Global IP Network for NTT America, will speak at the XXVI Reunión Iberoamericana Tráfico Internacional, on November 19, 2009 at the Hilton Buenos Aires Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. NTT Communications is a gold sponsor of the event, which is hosted by the Ibero-American Association of Research Centers and Telecommunication Enterprises (AHCIET).

Mr. Wheeler will offer his perspective based on experience in the Latin American market, during a roundtable of top managers which begins at 9:30 a.m. ART, on the topic of challenges and opportunities in the Latin American wholesale market created by broadband subscriber uptake. The Latin American telecommunications market is being driven by dramatic increase in demand for broadband connections and applications, as well as mobile Internet support. NTT America sees the disparity between high broadband subscriber growth and low penetration rates, based on subscribers per household, spurring bandwidth demand in Latin America. As part of one of the largest telecommunications companies in the world, NTT America can leverage the international business, financial, technology and geographic assets of the NTT Communications Global IP Network to help Latin American telecommunications and cable companies stay competitive as they rapidly add new customers and deliver new services to support growth and additional revenue opportunities.

Last November, NTT America and the company’s Latin American affiliate, NTT do Brasil, broadened NTT Communications’ international base and solidified NTT Communications’ footprint in the Latin American market by joining AHCIET, a non-profit organization representing more than 50 Latin American and Spanish telecommunications companies. In April 2009, NTT America was chosen by AHCIET to co-host the organization’s first meeting in the United States, the XXV Reunion Iberoamericana de Tráfico Internacional. NTT Communications’ participation in AHCIET is based on Latin America’s growing demand for IP transit services and the company’s current South American customer base, which includes some of the continent’s largest carriers.

“We have chosen NTT America as our network partner in view of the extraordinary reliability, flexibility and quality offered by the NTT Communications Global IP Network,” said Juan G. Velez, VP of International Business, Orbitel.

NTT America’s Tier-1 Internet backbone, the NTT Communications Global IP Network, offers connections to major ISPs around the world, with particular strength in the United States and Asia, and to major Internet network nodes and data centers located in key U.S. cities. The global reach of the network allows Latin American carriers and service providers the ability to deliver traffic internationally, which is as important for meeting the demand for high speed Internet access as is the ability, maintained by the network’s 1tbps of peering capacity, to add new subscribers quickly. The network’s industry-leading SLAs (Service Level Agreements) ensure quality of service for customer retention by guaranteeing that the network will be outage free 100 percent of the time. (Note: To view the NTT Communications Global IP Network, visit: www.ntt.net/english/about/network_map.cfm)

Latin American carriers and service providers are facing key challenges of capacity pricing and access as more businesses and consumers purchase broadband connections. With several years of experience in the Latin American market, Mr. David Berrios, NTT America’s manager of business development for Latin America; Mr. Doug Junkins, NTT America’s Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and vice president of IP development for the Global IP Network business unit; and Mr. Christopher Davis, director of marketing for NTT America’s Global IP Network, will be in attendance to address ways service providers and carriers can contain the costs of doing business while rolling out new IP based services using flexible high speed connections designed to scale with their changing bandwidth needs. Via the NTT Communications Global IP Network, NTT America can shape bandwidth up to 10Gbps, deliver over STM1, STM4, STM16, Fast/Gigabit/10 Gigabit Ethernet, and provision any number of 10GigE ports in a matter of days. In addition, the speed of the network means that NTT America can quickly deliver rich and streaming content residing in the United States.

NTT America is North America’s natural gateway to the Asia-Pacific region, with strong capabilities in the U.S. market. NTT America is the U.S. subsidiary of NTT Communications Corporation, the global data and IP services arm of a Fortune Global 500 telecom leader: Nippon Telegraph & Telephone Corporation (NTT).

OpSource Cloud Delivered with NTT America’s Enterprise Services

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 13:15:00 +0000

New York, NY and Santa Clara, Calif.– NTT America, a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com), and OpSource today announced their intention to accelerate the adoption of enterprise cloud computing by powering OpSource Cloud, a cloud solution bringing together the flexibility, availability and community of the public cloud with the security, performance and control the enterprise requires, through NTT America’s secure data centers and Tier-1 global IP network. By combining the collaborative strength of OpSource Cloud with NTT America’s leading enterprise services, companies, for the first time, can deploy a powerful cloud solution via the most secure data centers and the most reliable and scalable network available.

“Economic value is the driving force to create disciplines needed to properly move IT resources and applications into the cloud, however, initiatives are unlikely to get funded if they fail to meet enterprise expectations for the security, performance and control that they’ve come to expect from traditional methods,” said Agatha Poon, senior analyst at Yankee Group. “The reliability and performance of IP networks plays a critical role in maximizing the value of cloud computing because IP networks connect users to the cloud, delivering dynamic, on-demand services and applications to a diverse set of users. Thus, the reliability and security of the network will become more critical than ever.”

OpSource Cloud is designed to allow IT departments to manage their security as they would within their internal IT infrastructure. OpSource Cloud provides every user with a Virtual Private Cloud within the public cloud, allowing them to determine their own degree of Internet connectivity. For users weaned on the public cloud experience, OpSource Cloud offers online sign-up, pay by the hour usage, and rich online communities. And immediate availability and flexibility ensure that developers and enterprise IT alike have access to enterprise quality computing capability when they need it, paying for it only when it is being used. OpSource Cloud is now in public Beta and available for on-line purchase by the hour from www.opsourcecloud.net.

“Our portfolio of infrastructure assets gives us the opportunity to provide the most flexible allocation of those assets for our customers,” said Kazuhiro Gomi, Chief Operating Officer of NTT America. “The combination of OpSource Cloud and NTT America’s global IP network and data centers removes barriers that are keeping enterprises from adopting cloud computing, giving them a solution that is not only reliable and secure but scalable.”

When selecting a global network provider, the OpSource team looked for a solution with the fastest available bandwidth, best reliability and most approachable cost.

NTT America Offers Abundant Bandwidth, Abundant Choice

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 13:19:00 +0000

New York, NY – NTT America, a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com) and a Tier-1 global IP network services provider, today announced the company’s CTO and vice president of IP development for the Global IP Network business unit, Doug Junkins, will speak at Light Reading's Ethernet Expo Americas 2009, a premier event covering the topic of carrier Ethernet network technologies and services in North America. As part of one of the largest telecommunications companies in the world and a leading provider of carrier class Ethernet, NTT America can leverage the international business, geographic, technology and financial assets of the NTT Communications Global IP Network to help service providers, large content providers and enterprises use carrier Ethernet network technology to cost effectively and productively deploy next generation services and applications to support growth and additional revenue opportunities. Mr. Junkins will speak at the event on November 4, 2009 at 9 a.m. EST at the Hilton New York in New York City.

Today, Mr. Junkins was named CTO of NTT America. In this role he is responsible for the company’s technology procurement strategy and vendor selection, industry relations and standardization efforts, and overall product portfolio coordination across both the Global IP Network and Enterprise Solutions business units of NTT America.

During Ethernet Expo Americas 2009, Mr. Junkins will offer his perspective on next-gen Ethernet wholesale and retail services: abundant bandwidth, abundant choice. With years of experience in network architecture, tool development and peering relations, Mr. Junkins will offer his expertise on how abundant bandwidth and abundant choice offered by next-gen carrier Ethernet is transforming the data communications landscape, unleashing business productivity, and helping enterprises become more flexible in dealing with today’s on-demand business challenges.

NTT America Supports Growth of Internet in Central America

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 13:22:00 +0000

New York, NY – NTT America, a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com) and a Tier-1 global IP network services provider, today announced company executives will speak and moderate panels at Capacity Central America 2009, Capacity magazine’s newest conference focusing exclusively on the Central American wholesale market, on October 21, 2009 at the Sheraton Panama Hotel & Convention Center in Panama City, Republic of Panama. NTT Communications is the gold sponsor of the event and will also sponsor a lunch and opportunity to network on October 21.

Michael Wheeler, vice president of the Global IP Network for NTT America will offer his perspective based on experience in the Latin American market on the topic of “Liberalisation and New Opportunities in the Central American Wholesale Markets,” on Wednesday, October 21 at 9:30 a.m. EST. The Central American telecommunications market is being driven by the speed of liberalization combined with a dramatic increase in demand for broadband connections and applications, as well as mobile Internet support. As part of one of the largest telecommunications companies in the world, NTT America can leverage the international business, financial, technology and geographic assets of the NTT Communications Global IP Network to help Central American telecommunications and cable companies stay competitive as they rapidly add new customers and deliver new services to support growth and additional revenue opportunities.

NTT America’s Tier-1 Internet backbone, the NTT Communications Global IP Network, offers connections to major ISPs around the world, with particular strength in the United States and Asia, and to major Internet network nodes and data centers located in key U.S. cities. The global reach of the network allows Central American carriers and service providers the ability to deliver traffic internationally, which is equally important for meeting the demand for high speed Internet access as is the ability, maintained by the network’s 1tbps of peering capacity, to add new subscribers quickly. The network’s industry-leading SLAs (Service Level Agreements) ensure quality of service for customer retention by guaranteeing that the network will be outage free 100 percent of the time. (Note: To view the NTT Communications Global IP Network, visit: www.ntt.net/english/about/network_map.cfm)

David Berrios, NTT America’s manager of business development for Latin America, will moderate the panel, “Analyzing the Key Markets and Services Driving Capacity Demand in Central America: Identifying New Revenue Opportunities,” on Wednesday, October 21 at 12:00 p.m. EST. Central American carriers and service providers are facing key challenges of capacity pricing and access as more businesses and consumers purchase broadband connections. With several years of experience in the Central and South American markets, Berrios will address ways service providers and carriers can contain the costs of doing business while rolling out new IP based services using flexible high speed connections designed to scale with their changing bandwidth needs. Via the NTT Communications Global IP Network, NTT America can shape bandwidth up to 10Gbps, deliver over STM1, STM4, STM16, Fast/Gigabit/10 Gigabit Ethernet, and provision any number of 10GigE ports in a matter of days. In addition, the speed of the network means that NTT America can quickly deliver rich and streaming content residing in the United States.

The NTT Communications Global IP Network, which was the first Tier-1 network fully upgraded to run IPv6, meets the future business needs of Central American telecommunications companies exploring opportunities in the emerging wireless backhaul market and the delivery of quadruple play services. Given that the number of wireless and mobile devices moving to IP based services will each require an IP address and that IPv6 offers and almost unlimited number of IP addresses, IPv6 will be an important network layer technology for the scalability of 4G networks. NTT America’s IPv6 transit service on the NTT Communications Global IP Network is available in native, tunneled or dual stack modes.

NTT America Helps Service Providers Connect Customers to Converged Communications

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 13:25:00 +0000

New York, NY – NTT America, a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com) and a global IP network services provider, today announced the company is helping regional service providers connect their business and residential customers to voice, video and data through the quality, reliability and reach of the NTT Communications Global IP Network, as will be discussed in a speaking engagement at the COMPTEL PLUS Fall 2009 Convention & EXPO on Monday, October 12th at the Orlando World Center Marriott in Orlando, Florida.

Cody Christman, NTT America’s Director of Product Engineering, will be speaking on the COMPTEL panel, Network Migration: Building a Next Generation Network. The panel will focus on solutions for service providers working to integrate disparate networks, simplify architecture and migrate existing customers off TDM switches to alternative IP switching solutions. The panelists will discuss various experiences working with the integration and migration of these switching solutions, and offer insight and advice for other service providers in similar situations.

“The popularity of social media, new and mobile applications, and unified communications in the midst of a recession puts regional service providers in a challenging position. They must contain the costs of doing business while facing increasing demand from their customers to serve more and higher broadband content,” said Michael Wheeler, vice president of NTT America’s Global IP Network Business Unit. “Our portfolio of infrastructure assets gives us the opportunity to offer service providers scalable and flexible high speed connections designed to scale with their changing bandwidth needs. For example, we can shape their bandwidth and we can provision any number of 10GigE ports in a matter of days.”

NTT America operates the NTT Communications Global IP Network and Mr. Christman will focus on the benefits a global Tier-1 IP backbone brings to bear for regional service providers looking to drive technological innovation and grow their businesses. The benefits are:
• Global Reach – NTT America offers direct connection to major ISPs in the United States, Europe and Asia and operates major Internet network nodes and data centers located in key U.S. cities. The network’s global single ASN, ASN 2914, allows ubiquitous route view to customers globally.
o (Note: To view the NTT Communications Global IP Network, visit:
www.ntt.net/english/about/network_map.cfm)
• Speed – NTT America offers IP transit bandwidth up to 10Gbps delivered over both the current Internet protocol (IPv4) and the next generation Internet protocol (IPv6).
• Performance – NTT America has private peering with all other Tier-1 providers, does not acquire transit from any third party, and exchanges traffic with other Tier-1 ISP’s free of charge (Settlement Free Peering). In addition, the company has over 1Tbps of peering capacity globally.
• Reliability – NTT America maintains industry-leading SLAs (Service Level Agreements), which include metrics in latency, packet loss and jitter and guarantee that the network will be outage free 100 percent of the time.
• Security – NTT America’s DoS Attack Countermeasures enable a proactive stance against DoS attacks. These countermeasures very effectively reduce DoS traffic load on the edge of the network, which gives time to solve the problem before serious performance damage is done.
• Support – U.S. support calls go directly to highly qualified network engineers in the NTT America U.S. NOC (Network Operations Center) and not to a call center or overseas.

In addition, NTT America will soon release a multipoint Ethernet product for downstream service providers. The multipoint Ethernet product will help downstream service providers cut costs associated with back office connectivity and communications by allowing them to connect their data centers in either a mesh or hub/spoke configuration using Ethernet instead of using private lines. As downstream providers begin to use these connections to deliver voice, video and data they can rely on NTT America for the best jitter SLA on the market.

The panel, Network Migration: Building a Next Generation Network, will take place on October 12, 2009 from 2:00 p.m. to 2:45 p.m. in the Crystal H room of the Orlando World Center Marriott.

Wide Area Networks Become Top of Mind For Chief Information Officers of Global Organizations

Tue, 28 Jul 2009 13:29:00 +0000

NEW YORK, NY – In a panel discussion about optimizing wide-area network (WAN) investments to support global operations, senior IT executives confirmed that there is growing interest from C-level executives regarding the health of the WAN today and the options for managing this important resource in the future. The panel, recently hosted in San Jose, California by NTT America, a wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary of NTT Communications Corporation, and Riverbed Technology (Nasdaq: RVBD), the IT infrastructure performance company for networks, applications and storage, agreed that, as companies with a global footprint look to improve and expand their operations, increasing importance is placed on WAN performance and optimization. C-level executives are viewing the WAN as a strategic platform from which new business processes and strategies can be generated.

Comprised of senior executives in the high-technology, financial and manufacturing industries, the panel also discussed how key business developments, such as global collaboration and real-time transaction processing, have elevated the importance of the WAN as it both supports current operations and enables new, more innovative and cost-effective revenue-generating business practices.

“Advanced technologies and applications require a strong network to support a successful global business. WAN optimization is a critical factor in enabling speed, increased employee productivity and business continuity and agility,” said Randy Schirman, vice president of Service Provider Sales at Riverbed®. “We’re hearing across the board from CIOs of global organizations that WAN optimization is being recognized as adding value at the strategic, operational, financial and technical level.”

NTT America and Riverbed have worked closely to bring WAN optimization to global organizations as a managed service. NTT America's Managed WPA (WAN Performance Accelerator) service, based on Riverbed WAN optimization, provides multi-national and regional businesses with LAN-like access to data and applications for users in branch offices, regardless of their location. The service performance enables cost savings through reductions in both opex and capex, as enterprises are able to optimize their bandwidth usage while consolidating their IT infrastructure and reducing IT complexity and overhead. In addition, the managed service acceleration helps ensure business continuity through improved backup and replication processes, and it also improves staff productivity and real-time collaboration.

“Our customers view global networks as critical infrastructure in their corporate technology arsenal,” said Stephen Bloom, Vice President of Business Development for NTT America. “Optimizing WAN investments creates a strategic platform for our customers to support their operations in Asia Pacific and beyond, and we provide them with the network, data center, and IP backbone services they need to grow and efficiently run their business.”

Following are additional panel findings regarding the current state of WANs and the emerging best practices to maximize the return-on-investment from those networks:

Operational Impact
• Re-establishing WAN Competencies: Many organizations recognize that core competencies in managing the WAN infrastructure are critical for IT organizations, in order to better partner with managed service and outsourcing providers.
• Managing Complexity: There was intense interest in finding ways to manage WAN environments, as well as in finding “prime-contractor” network service providers that can offer a single point of contact when multiple networks are involved.
• Consistency of Quality: The great variance in the quality of networks around the world – particularly in the Asia-Pacific region – has created interest in the role WAN optimization technologies can play in leveling out performance across global and regional infrastructures.

Financial Justification
• CAPEX-to-OPEX Shift: Organizations are looking for IT strategies – and particularly WAN solutions – that transfer technology assets from the CAPEX to OPEX side of the balance sheet, helping them preserve capital.
• WAN Optimization: Attendees expressed interest in how to get more out of existing WAN investments through WAN management and optimization.
• Risk-Based Investment Assessments: Organizations are justifying new investments based on the “negative consequences” of ignoring or avoiding the support of existing operations or the launch of new technology initiatives.
• Business Metrics Trump Technical Measures: All investments are being held to business – rather than strictly technical – performance standards, so WAN investments need to be more closely tied to the business benefits delivered to revenue-generating activities.

Technological Areas of Interest
• New Enterprise Technologies: WAN performance plays a critical role as applications increasingly reside in a central location, far from end-users; the issue of latency is increasingly seen as a strategic technical issue that needs to be proactively addressed.
• Managed Services: The growing role of managed services from network providers will require extremely high levels of interaction between services providers and enterprises that see the WAN as a strategic resource.
• WAN Optimization: The role of WAN optimization technologies will emerge as both an investment protection tool and risk mitigation resource; there is significant interest in how advances in compression technologies can interact with application optimization technologies.

NTT America Gold Sponsor of Network World’s IT Roadmap Conference and Expo in Atlanta, GA

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 13:33:00 +0000

New York, NY – NTT America, a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com) and a Tier-1 global IP network services provider, today announced that the company will serve as a gold level sponsor of Network World’s IT Roadmap Conference and Expo on Wednesday, June 24, at the Cobb Galleria Centre in Atlanta, GA. Hosted by Network World, Inc., the free, one-day, regional IT event addresses best solutions and best practices to keep companies moving through tough economic times.

The IT Roadmap Conference and Expo combines the advantages of both a professional conference and private expo to target many of the critical topics facing the IT industry today. Free-of-charge to network and IT professionals who register and qualify in advance, the conference brings together more than 60 leading IT vendors and 8,000 IT professionals to foster creative discussion about market trends, best practices, and past successes with business optimization methods. An important focus of the conference is how to cut costs and maximize profits through such means as cloud computing and SaaS, adopting green practices, and transforming data centers to generate new profits.

Operating a Global IP Network (GIN) node in Atlanta since 2006, NTT America directly connects Atlanta based companies to major markets around the world via its Global Tier 1-IP Backbone (NTT Communications Global IP Network). NTT America’s Global IP Network distinguishes itself from other Tier-1 networks as being the only global Tier-1 headquartered in Asia.

“It is important that Atlanta based companies stay ahead of the game when it comes to connectivity to hundreds of multinational corporations and to the fastest growing segments of the Internet – Southeast Asia and Latin America,” said John Woodward, Metro Atlanta Chamber Director of Foreign Investment. “This is a great example of how our high-tech members are helping Atlanta based companies remain globally competitive.”

Recognizing the importance of staying on top of new industry trends and innovations to thrive in today’s competitive IT market, NTT America will be on hand at IT Roadmap Atlanta to discuss NTT America’s Global IP Network solutions with attendees. High speed, high reliability and sufficient routes characterize NTT America’s Global IP Network, which logged 210 Gigabits per Second (Gbps) in April 2009—the fastest bandwidth currently available—on the transpacific portion of the network, maintains industry-leading SLAs (service level agreements) and offers direct connection to major ISPs in Asia, the United States and Europe.

“Business applications are continuously being created on IP. Today it’s multimedia, gaming, and social networking and tomorrow there will be new services, but one thing remains the same – they will run over IP,” said Michael Wheeler, vice president of sales and business development, Global IP Network Business Unit of NTT America. “In today’s competitive business environment it’s important that these services are offered over the highest quality, not least cost, network.” “Our business is booming. In 2008, NTT America saw more than 700 percent growth in the purchase of the company’s dual-stack bandwidth, and a significant increase in 10GigE and GigE ports provisioned. The company continues to see network traffic growing month after month, and the latest reports show a 70 to 80 percent average growth rate in network traffic for 2009,” said Kazuhiro Gomi, COO of NTT America. “We’re looking forward to bringing integrated, managed IT infrastructure solutions to Atlanta customers.”

NTT America offers IP Transit bandwidth from 10mbps to 10Gbps over both the current Internet protocol (IPv4) and the next generation Internet protocol (IPv6). NTT America’s Global IP Network is distinguished by peering relationships, a single ASN (2914) and global NOCs (network operations centers).

NTT America Increases Atlanta Presence, Linking Southeast Multi-National Corporations to Its Global Network

Mon, 22 Jun 2009 13:34:00 +0000

NEW YORK, NY – NTT America, a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of NTT Communications Corporation, today announced it will increase its presence in Atlanta, Georgia with the planned launch of a Point of Presence (PoP) for Arcstar™ global network services. While NTT America has been operating an Internet backbone node in Atlanta since 2006, the new Arcstar PoP enables NTT America to provide multi-national corporations in the Southeast region with high-capacity, efficient networks to support their global operations, particularly to the Asia-Pacific region and beyond. The new capability, which includes MPLS IP-VPN, Ethernet, and Managed Bandwidth services, also enhances NTT America’s ability to serve overseas companies investing in the Southeast region. Parent company NTT Communications is a leader in global networking, providing over 100,000 MPLS ports around the world.

The Southeast region is a leading market for economic growth, and Atlanta is quickly becoming the hub as a key distribution center and world leader for air passenger traffic. With over 70 Atlanta-based companies expanding into Asia and over 370 Asian companies in Atlanta, NTT America’s increased presence will assist these companies in growing their businesses and operating efficiently in the global market.

NTT America’s investment in the region is well aligned with the Metro Atlanta Chamber’s recent trade mission to China to spur economic growth in Atlanta, as well as Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin’s Asia initiative to promote Atlanta as a global business center.

“For the past several years, we have been building relationships with countries in the Asia-Pacific region to explore business opportunities and position Atlanta as a key market for global business operations,” said Jorge Fernandez, Vice President Global Commerce for the Metro Atlanta Chamber. “With Japan being the largest investor country in the Atlanta metro area and a growing number of Korean, Chinese, and Indian investments coupled with direct access to these markets for Atlanta-based companies, Asia becomes critical to our global strategy. We are pleased to have NTT America’s support as we continue our initiative to build global partnerships to foster economic development.”

“NTT America recognizes that there is a great deal of momentum and opportunity in Atlanta for multi-national corporations, and we are proud to be able to support these companies in their efforts towards global growth and increased local business development,” said Stephen Bloom, Vice President of Business Development for NTT America. “Through our increased presence we will provide our customers with enhanced services and support the Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce in their efforts to bring new businesses into Atlanta and expand global opportunities for existing companies based in the region.”

Following suit of Atlanta to support further growth of the company’s business, NTT America is also planning to launch a new Arcstar PoP in Denver, CO.

(NASDAQ: VRSN), the trusted provider of Internet infrastructure services for the networked world, will benefit the Junior League of Northern Virginia (JLNV), an organization of women committed to promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women, and improving communities through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers.

With offices in Sterling, VA and Vienna, VA, NTT America looks forward to supporting the local event. “We are honored to sponsor a tournament with a history of corporate community support,” said Michael Wheeler, vice president of sales and business development, Global IP Network Business Unit of NTT America. “In addition to our annual employee fundraising and corporate matching drive with the American Red Cross and the United Way, this event represents another great opportunity for us to help raise awareness of local charitable needs for such a respected national organization.”

Funds raised have been used to assist Junior League of Northern Virginia community programs such as providing physicals, immunizations and school supplies to hundreds of uninsured children, and to assist monthly children’s programs at local homeless shelters. Proceeds from the 2009 tournament will be used to support similar programs in the coming year.

“The tournament donations have played a critical part in advancing our mission and, more specifically, our efforts to provide meaningful programs that prepare children in Northern Virginia for success,” said Tamara Ashford, president, Junior League of Northern Virginia.

NTT America's Kazuhiro Gomi, Chief Technology Officer and Vice President, to Speak at the 2009 CIO Leadership Event

Mon, 04 May 2009 13:38:00 +0000

When: Tuesday, May 5, 2009, from 11:35 a.m. EDT to 12:30 p.m. EDT

What: NTT America, a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com), today announced NTT America’s Kazuhiro Gomi, Chief Technology Officer and Vice President of Global IP Network, will speak at a Business Technology Briefing of the 2009 CIO Leadership event on May 3-5, 2009 at the Sawgrass Golf Resort & Spa. Mr. Gomi will discuss enterprise challenges to plan and operate strategic IT and networking infrastructure during the session titled “Strategic Network Environments: Managing Global IT Infrastructure for Success.” NTT Communications is a corporate sponsor of the event.

Who: Kazuhiro Gomi, CTO and Vice President, Global IP Network, NTT America, is responsible for the company’s technology strategy, industry relations and standardization efforts, and overall product portfolio management. Mr. Gomi holds a MSIE from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and a MSEE from Keio University, Tokyo. He holds several patents in the areas of voice systems.

Why: Networks are critical to business operations. In a recent survey, more than one-third of CIOs expressed the need for a fundamental restructuring of their network infrastructure. These sweeping changes will be necessary to deal with the petabytes of data that will be pouring through enterprise networks within the next five years. Despite cost reduction mandates, IT organizations face increasing demands for advanced networks to support such initiatives as telepresence, virtualization and global enterprise applications. These bandwidth requirements are further accentuated when considering that much of the growth is expected to occur in remote regions like Asia-Pacific, Latin America and the Middle East. During this presentation, Mr. Gomi will discuss how multi-national organizations should handle this challenge, and what CIOs should expect from managed service providers.

NTT America Highlights Today’s Applications at IPv6 Implementors Conference

Wed, 18 Mar 2009 13:43:00 +0000

New York, NY – NTT America, a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com) and a global IP network services provider, today announced Cody Christman, NTT America’s Director of Product Engineering, will discuss how to enhance existing networks to support both IPv6 and IPv4 as well as how to leverage the benefits IPv6 brings to current and emerging applications at the IPv6 Implementors Conference. The conference, which will be held March 19 and 20, 2009 in Mountain View, CA, will focus on addressing and sharing IPv6 implementation experience, advice and associated research.

IPv6 is the successor to IPv4, the current protocol used on the Internet. Implementing IPv6 offers a variety of benefits including an almost infinite address space, scalability, better security, lower capital and operational expense and a number of enhancements for multicast and quality of service support.

“We have seen a growing interest in IPv6, particularly in how to smoothly make the transition from a company’s current network infrastructure,” said Cody Christman, Director of Product Engineering, NTT America. “We have also had successful implementations of emerging applications such as IPTV and earthquake monitoring systems that really show the benefits of using IPv6 today.”

Both network engineers and business professionals will need to understand IPv6 capabilities and learn how to optimally use the dramatically larger and more flexible address space, automatic “plug and play” features, better end-to-end security, and broader support for mobile devices. The accelerated pace of IPv6 deployment internationally means that companies need to start to test and roll out content to the IPv6 side of the Web in the near term. With the IPv6 technology in place, business can take advantage of features that lower cost and complexity of peer to peer communication, improve network mobility for wireless devices and allow devices to self configure, creating new business opportunities for content and commerce on the Web.

NTT America has been an advocate for the advancement of IPv6 for more than a decade. The company has just launched a microsite to provide a forum for those interested in all aspects of IPv6 education and deployment to share information, questions and insights. The IPv6 microsite can be found here: www.v6atwork.com. In January 2008 and again in 2009, NTT America was selected by the Congressional Internet Caucus Advisory Committee (ICAC) to demonstrate NTT Com’s IPv6 Internet-based Earthquake Early Warning System and an implementation of IPTV over IPv6. The company also spoke at this year’s International CES about consumer-based IPv6 applications.

Collaboration a Key Element in Success of NTT America’s Partner Program

Thu, 26 Feb 2009 13:45:00 +0000

NEW YORK – NTT America, a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com) and a Tier-1 global IP network services provider, today announced it will exhibit at the Spring 2009 Channel Partners Conference & Expo to meet current and potential solution partners and discuss NTT America’s Global IP Network (GIN) Solution Partners Program. NTT America’s GIN Solution Partners Program is a channel neutral program that enables qualified referral partners, agents and Value Added Resellers (VARs) to sell NTT America’s entire suite of domestic and international IP and data solutions including Fast Ethernet (FE), Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) and 10 GigE. The event will take place March 1-3 at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. NTT America’s booth number is 1611.

“NTT America’s approach translates to a much easier sale and a higher growth curve for our business,” said Mike Nguyen, COO, Silent Partner. “Their method of collaboration is almost unheard of in the industry. It makes becoming an agent a much easier venture to swallow because you come out of the gates with the NTT America GIN direct sales team behind you, and they stay with you through the entire customer relationship management lifecycle.”

“At the end of the day, our program is unique because we actually help the agent build their business,” said, Rod Krzywicki, GIN regional sales vice president, NTT America. “They sell with us, not for us. So, not only are agents avoiding direct competition with us (channel neutrality), they have the NTT America direct sales team there to help them get the customer sold.”

Potential channel partners are invited to contact channel@us.ntt.net to see which solutions partners program fits their business and to schedule a meeting with NTT America’s Global IP Network team at the Channel Partners Conference and Expo.

NTT America Highlights Success in Global IP Network’s Key 2008 Initiatives

Thu, 12 Feb 2009 13:47:00 +0000

New York, NY – NTT America, a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com) and a global IP network services provider, today announced results and achievements in Global IP Network business for 2008. The last year was distinguished by several strategic customer wins; the advancement of the company’s Global IP Network—one of the largest dedicated Internet backbone networks in the world; awards and recognition from leading government and telecommunications organizations; and the company’s continued commitment to remain a leader in the adoption of and advocacy for IPv6, the next-generation Internet protocol.

“We feel fortunate to have had a great year in 2008, a year that included significant accomplishments and honors, and we will continue to build on this momentum in 2009,” said Kazuhiro Gomi, CTO of NTT America and vice president of the NTT Communications Global IP Network. “We remain steadfast in our mission to bring the highest quality service and best support to our customers worldwide.”

Highlights from 2008:

Customer Wins:
A variety of web-based applications for both business and consumers are escalating bandwidth demand. Companies are either evaluating or deploying cloud computing initiatives, SaaS and are using web conferencing on a much larger scale – all high bandwidth. For consumers, online gaming, social networks like Twitter and Facebook, and YouTube, have dramatically changed bandwidth requirements. In 2008, NTT America saw more than 700 percent growth in the purchase of the company’s dual-stack bandwidth, and a significant increase in 10GigE and GigE ports provisioned.
• In March, The Planet chose NTT America to deliver IPv6 functionality to its network, offering more than 22,000 customers access to IPv6.
• In September, NTT America provided the American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) with a dual stack over a GigE connection. The GigE connection, at speeds up to 1,000 megabits per second (mbps), running both IPv4 and IPv6 or dual stack, ensures website and e-mail communications to and from ARIN are visible over both IPv4 and IPv6. Additionally, all other systems or communications ARIN operates can continue running over IPv6.

Technology Investments:
Critical for global business, NTT Com’s infrastructure investments last year in the Global IP Network culminated in the creation of a diverse Internet path and also included investments in green IT solutions.
• In July, NTT Com and the TransTeleCom Company CJSC (TTK), Russia’s leading telecommunications backbone operator, announced operation of the Hokkaido-Sakhalin Cable System (HSCS), which directly links the two companies’ telecom networks via an undersea cable between Nevelsk, Sakhalin in Russia and Ishikari, Hokkaido, Japan. The route is an addition to NTT Com’s global IP Tier 1 network covering Asia-Pacific, Europe and North America, with connection to major ISPs worldwide.
• Also in July, NTT America enhanced the capacity of the company’s Global IP Network by installing Juniper’s T1600 core multi-terabit routers, which cut power consumption by as much as 20 percent, and doubled the network capacity without any increase in datacenter space requirements.

Advocacy and Advancement of IPv6:
As IPv4 addresses continue to decrease and subscriber demand for compelling new applications that call for IPv6, such as IPTV and multiplay services, continues to grow, NTT America has remained a leader in its implementation of IPv6 and advocacy for IPv6 adoption.
• In January, NTT America was selected by the Congressional Internet Caucus Advisory Committee (ICAC) to demonstrate NTT Com’s IPv6 Internet-based Earthquake Early Warning System at the 11th Annual ICAC Kickoff Technology Policy Exhibition at the U.S. Senate in Washington, D.C.
• In May, NTT America was invited by the European Commission to speak and participate at European IPv6 Day, an event hosted by the European Commission in Brussels, Belgium.
• Also in May, the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) featured NTT Com in the report, “Internet Address Space: Economic Considerations in the Management of IPv4 and in the Deployment of IPv6.” The company was featured for leadership in deploying IPv6 networks that communicate alerts of impending earthquakes to people in Japan.
• In July, NTT America donated a GigE link to the Internet Systems Consortium, Inc. (ISC), a 501(c)(3) non-profit public benefit corporation, significantly improving ISC’s IPv6 infrastructure.

Awards and Recognition:
NTT America was proud to be recognized by several esteemed organizations in 2008 for the company’s continued influence on IPv6, network services and customer satisfaction.
• In March, IDC’s Government Insights named NTT America to the industry short list of companies having the most influence today on IPv6. The report, “Top 20 IPv6 Influencers Working with the U.S. Government,” was aimed at U.S. federal agencies.
• In April, NTT Com was named Best Wholesale Carrier at the Telecom Asia Awards for Global IP Network Service and services incorporating IPv6 and advanced security technologies.
• Also, in April, NTT Com received three Diamond (best-in-class) Awards in a Telemark Customer Satisfaction Survey in the categories of Top 10 Attributes, Pricing and Billing.

Global Expansion:
As the Internet continues to fuel global business expansion, the NTT Communications Global IP Network remains focused on connecting all continents to provide efficient and accessible transit at the highest speeds. The latest efforts are devoted to the countries of Latin America where NTT America is actively supporting the telecommunications sector through memberships in regional organizations.
• In November, NTT America and NTT do Brasil broadened NTT Com’s international base through a new membership in AHCIET, the Ibero-American Association of Research Centers and Telecommunication Enterprises, a prestigious association of more than 50 Latin American and Spanish telecommunications operator companies, and a meeting place for the main actors of the market.

NTT America Features IPTV over IPv6 at Capital Hill’s Longest Running Annual Tech Policy Exhibition

Mon, 12 Jan 2009 13:49:00 +0000

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NTT America, a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com) and a Tier-1 global IP network services provider, today announced it will be highlighting an IPTV streaming video over IPv6 demonstration at the 12th Annual Congressional Internet Caucus Advisory Committee (ICAC) Kickoff Technology Policy Exhibition on January 13, 2009 at the Hart Senate Office Building in Washington D.C. The Tech Policy Exhibition showcases the compelling technology and Internet policy issues that will dominate Congressional discussions around the Internet as a medium for communications, commerce and democracy.

NTT America has participated at ICAC’s Tech Policy Exhibition for the last five years, recently providing demonstrations that attest to the long term viability of current and emerging applications to take advantage of IPv6, such as last year’s demonstration of the IPv6 based Earthquake Early Warning System. The company provides the Internet backbone, transit, infrastructure, and services that enable scalable implementations of leading edge products and solutions.

In 2005, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) mandated that government agencies enable their core networks for IPv6, and in June of 2008 they announced that all major U.S. government agencies had met the deadline on successfully demonstrating IPv6 capability. The next step is the “deployment of secure, end-to-end, IPv6-enabled network services which support federal agency core missions and applications” from the Business Case and Roadmap for Completing IPv6 Adoption in US Government draft document, which is currently open for review and comment. The draft version, comments template, and associated release memorandum are posted on OMB’s Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA) website at www.whitehouse.gov/omb/egov/a-2-EAIPv6.html.

“We are honored to once again be a part of the ICAC Technology Policy Exhibition,” said Kazuhiro Gomi, CTO of NTT America and vice president of the NTT Communications Global IP Network. “We continue to see a groundswell of IPv6 adoption with emerging applications being built to meet demand both in the US and internationally.”

While demand for IPTV is increasing, the number of IPv4 addresses is decreasing. According to the American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN), the availability of IPv4 addresses is down to 15 percent with the number decreasing every month. It is estimated that by mid-2012 the pool of IPv4 addresses will run out, creating a sense of urgency for the adoption and implementation of IPv6. IPv6 solves the address crunch problem by offering a vastly expanded usable addresses space. IPv6 also offers a significant number of benefits for the development of new IP based applications, such as IPTV.

IPv6 is the successor to IPv4, the current protocol used on the Internet. IPv6’s basically infinite address space offers scalability for a large number of always-on customers. This creates end to end IP address transparency between the company and the customer, simplifying applications like broadcast IPTV, VoIP and P2P applications. IPv6 offers lower capital and operational expenses for operators which can lead to lower prices for users. Finally, IPv6 offers a number of enhancements for multicast and quality of service support.

NTT America Discusses New Way to Deliver Television at Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2009

Sun, 04 Jan 2009 13:49:00 +0000

LAS VEGAS – CES 2009 – NTT America, a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com) and a Tier-1 global IP network services provider, today announced it will be speaking on the Planning for an IPv6 World in 2010 panel at the 2009 International CES. Cody Christman, NTT America’s Director of Product Engineering, will discuss Hikari-TV, the first large scale, commercially successful IPTV over IPv6 service. The Hikari-TV service, which is operated by NTT Plala Inc., comprises 76 channels including high definition (HD) channels, more than 10,000 video on demand titles and over 13,000 titles in its karaoke service, and is accessible to consumers via a “Broadband button for Hikari-TV” on the remote.

Utilizing the benefits of a network built on IPv6, Hikari-TV delivers high quality television to hundreds of thousands of subscriber households in Japan. NTT Plala receives live broadcasts from TV stations, encodes and simultaneously delivers the broadcasts to subscriber households over the Hikari-TV Content Delivery Platform. The real-time broadcasts of high or standard definition TV and multichannel TV are implemented using IPv6 multicast over NTT’s NGN (Next Generation Network), a closed end-to-end IPv6 over fiber to the home (FTTH) network.

Gartner, Inc. estimates worldwide subscriptions to IPTV will reach almost 20 million subscribers in 2008, a 64.1 percent increase over 2007(1) . The growing interest in IPTV combines increased broadband penetration with the capability of integrating television with other IP based services on a home network such as Internet access and phone service, video on demand and karaoke, and opportunities to make TV interactive, ultimately making more efficient use of the broadband connection.

While demand for IPTV is increasing, the number of IPv4 addresses is decreasing. According to the American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN), the availability of IPv4 addresses is down to 15 percent with the number decreasing every month. It is estimated that by mid-2012 the pool of IPv4 addresses will run out, creating a sense of urgency for the adoption and implementation of IPv6. IPv6 solves the address crunch problem by offering a vastly expanded usable addresses space, including multicast address space. IPv6 also offers a significant number of benefits for the development of new IP based applications, such as IPTV.

“While many companies are planning for the eventual arrival of IPv6, we have been working on implementing this protocol in our Next Generation Network for the last 10 years,” said Kazuhiro Gomi, CTO of NTT America and vice president of the NTT Communications Global IP Network. “Growth of the Internet cannot be sustained on IPv4. We hope emerging applications for IPv6 like Hikari-TV inspire more companies to move towards IPv6 adoption.”

IPv6 is the successor to IPv4, the current protocol used on the Internet. For IPTV, IPv6’s basically infinite address space offers scalability for a large number of always-on customers. This creates end to end IP address transparency between the company and the customer, simplifying applications like broadcast IPTV, VoIP and P2P applications. IPv6 promises lower capital and operation expense for operators and lower prices for users due to its simple, hierarchical network configuration. Finally, IPv6 offers a number of enhancements for multicast and quality of service support.

The panel will take place on January 10, 2009 from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. in the Las Vegas Convention Center’s South Hall and includes leaders in the IPv6 community such as Latif Ladid, president of the IPv6 Forum. NTT America will also be providing the IPv6 connectivity for the panel discussion.

Mon, 15 Dec 2008 14:27:00 +0000

SAN FRANCISCO – NTT America, a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of NTT Communications Corporation, and Riverbed Technology (Nasdaq: RVBD), the technology and market leader in wide-area data services (WDS), today announced that NTT America is offering its new Managed WPA (WAN Performance Accelerator) service to regional and global businesses.

NTT America engineers perform needs assessments and create network designs based on the Riverbed solutions; then they provide project management and install and test the Steelhead appliances. Following implementation, NTT America provides full maintenance and support, including 24x7 remote and proactive monitoring and trouble shooting of both WPA and the network.

“NTT America offers customers, including both U.S. companies expanding to Asia-Pacific as well as international firms operating in the U.S market, best-of-breed services and solutions,” said Randy Schirman, vice president, Service Providers at Riverbed. “The addition of Riverbed’s award-winning Steelhead appliances to NTT America’s portfolio provides customers with an acceleration solution that goes beyond mere speed to the core needs of any regional or global business – enhancing productivity, ensuring business continuity and delivering cost savings.”

Riverbed WDS solutions enable organizations of all sizes to overcome a host of severe problems, including poor application response-time and insufficient bandwidth at remote sites. Accelerating the performance of applications between data centers, remote offices and mobile workers by five to 50 times and in some cases up to 100 times, Riverbed Steelhead WDS products allow companies to consolidate IT, improve backup and replication processes to ensure data integrity, and improve staff productivity and collaboration.

NTT America Presents Network Security White Paper on Global Network Pandemic – The Silent Threat

Mon, 24 Nov 2008 14:25:00 +0000

NEW YORK -- NTT America, a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com) and a global IP network services provider, today announced a white paper focusing on the growing number and type of network attacks, the impact of low traffic or “silent” threats, and how large and small networks can help mitigate this growing problem. The paper will be presented by Darren Grabowski of the NTT America Security & Abuse Team at the IEEE Globecom 2008 conference in New Orleans on December 1. The white paper will be available beginning December 3 on NTT America’s web site at us.ntt.net/products/case_studies/.

The company is presenting as part of a broader session chaired by Dr. Kazuhiko Ohkubo of NTT, with panelists discussing comprehensive approaches related to security improvement in advanced telecommunications networks, new service creation based on the ring of trust, and ROI management for security measures. The session will take place on Monday, December 1 from 1:50 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. EST.

The white paper entitled, The Global Pandemic - The Silent Threat, covers how millions of computers on the Internet are compromised and discusses the ability of a single malicious botnet to harness these machines to take down key Internet infrastructure and create financial havoc. The paper outlines measures networks can take to mitigate these attacks using many tools already available to help prevent attacks and minimize costs.

“Spam, malware, phishing and DoS are all growing problems that are not going to go away,” said Darren Grabowski, Manager of the NTT America Security & Abuse Team. “Large and small networks need to work together to deploy monitoring devices and report their findings to mitigate this growing problem. Companies often have the tools they need on their network already and with just a small investment in time and effort they can use them to protect themselves in a more proactive fashion with little or no increase in cost.”

The NTT America Security & Abuse Team is tasked with responding to security (port scans, malware DoS, etc.) and abuse (spam) issues across the entire NTT Com Global IP Network. They also continuously monitor the network using a variety of tools including those that watch for trends of low bandwidth consumption, compared to legitimate traffic, which can hide the “silent threat.”
