A closer look into NTT Data

Gigabit Magazine takes a look at NTT in the Gartner Magic Quadrant and its global data centres.

NTT Data is headquartered in Tokyo, with business operations in more than 50 countries and regions, it emphasizes long-term commitment and combines global reach and local intimacy to provide premier professional services from consulting, system development to business IT outsourcing.

In the Magic Quadrant report, it is stated that “NTT should be considered by all enterprises with global WAN needs”. The report also showcases the benefits and limitations of the company, we summarise these below:

Strengths

• In addition to good MPLS coverage of APAC, North America, Europe and Africa, NTT also offers a global internet backbone with premium internet and a good range of access providers.

• NTT’s portal can offer a real-time integrated view of granular network and security analytics in a single dashboard.

• NTT has a strong NoD offering, with Ethernet, internet and MPLS services, and dynamically configurable bandwidth, as well as the ability to add additional cloud endpoints.

Limitations:

• NTT’s network coverage in Latin America is more limited, compared with other leading providers in this Magic Quadrant

• The provider’s brand awareness outside the APAC region is still limited, meaning it does not get considered for many opportunities for which it might be suitable.

• NTT’s pricing for network transport services, such as MPLS, outside the APAC region, can be higher than that of other leading providers
