NTT's Global Data Centers division 

NTT has created the Global Data Centers division, and is currently one of the top three data centre providers. The division incorporates e-shelter, Gyron, Netmagic, NTT Communications Nexcenter, RagingWire, and other data centre companies that were formerly part of the NTT Communications brand. Described as the consolidated data centre entity, NTT’s Global Data Centers' reach extends to over 20 countries across Europe, North America, Africa and Asia, including a major presence in India.

NTT provides tailored, localised expertise through its regions in the Americas (RagingWire), APAC (NTT Communications), EMEA (e-shelter and Gyron) and India (Netmagic). 

The data centres are customised for NTT’s client offering flexibility and scalability. Combined with the power of NTT’s global technology network, the company delivers state-of-the-art infrastructure and technology services. “The business result is that we provide an optimal data centre environment to enable you to compete, innovate, and grow,” NTT said on its website.
