AirTrunk to enter Japan with 300MW data centre campus | ZDNet

AirTrunk has announced its plans to build a new hyperscale data centre campus in Inzai, Tokyo that will be scalable to over 300MW. The data centre campus, called TOK1, will be based at Inzai's data centre hub and contain seven buildings across 13 hectares of land. It will be the company's first data centre in Japan. The new data centre is expected to be open in late 2021 and will initially have around 60MW in capacity. The data centre campus will be built in a phased approach based on customer demand, AirTrunk said. Touted by AirTrunk as the largest in the APAC region outside of China, the company added that the campus would be powered by 66kV substations and have a power usage effectiveness of 1.15 to deliver energy efficiencies. "Japan is a highly developed market with strong international connectivity, underpinning its position as a technology and data centre hub in Asia. The rapid increase of cloud adoption in Japan will be enabled by critical infrastructure, including hyperscale data centres like TOK1," AirTrunk founder and CEO Robin Khuda said.
