ASCII.jp The role of at Tokyo that changes with "ATBEX", unchanged beliefs and value

Atbex, a network platform service that At Tokyo has been provided in 2017 since 2017.It is a platform that can flexibly realize interconnection from customer systems to various services, such as Mega Cloud, Internet, Security, Communications Career, Domestic / Overseas Data Center, etc.

The ATBEX is currently expanding services and strengthening functions with the aim of becoming an innovative “future data center base”.However, behind such "changing" evolution, there is also a "unchanged" part of the provision of safe and secure services that only have no down -down options.This time, I would like to look at Atbex as a axis and look at the "changing parts" and "unchanged parts" in Tokyo.

ATBEX service group that evolves rapidly

"ATBEX is a platform service that provides connections to various services in a form of flexible and excellent expandability in accordance with customer requirements," explains, Mr. Yoshiaki Sugiyama, director of the Platform Planning Division of the Tokyo Planning Office.。

ATBEX is an abbreviation for "at Tokyo Business Exchange", and user companies can connect to various connected destinations, such as Mega Cloud, Internet Exchange (IX), telecommunications carriers, and data centers in Japan and overseas through ATBEX.The network can be built in a short period of time for a connecting service using a logical line, and the flexibility and expandability that can be used as much as you want when you want to use it.

Atbex in Tokyo has a diverse connection destination

In 2020, the "ATBEX Osaka Zone" was opened, and it was possible to connect between Tokyo Data Center in Tokyo and the Osaka Data Center.In addition, other company affiliated data centers that can be connected via ATBEX are gradually expanding nationwide.

"Currently, a wide range of customers, not only customers who use the rack space in the data center, but also customers connected from outside the data center, and customers who use the affiliated data center.It is. We are promoting ATBEX nationwide as a "connected" platform for customers, diverse services, and customers. "

"Automation" and "Information dissemination" for the next step

The next step following the realization of such a “connected” platform is the construction of ATBEX as the “foundation for realizing future company DX”.

Here, a service partner that provides near -cloud services in the data center, and a construction partner (SI / NI / CI vendor) that work on systems and networks (SI / NI / CI vendor) will be invited to business ecosystem, and the system that client companies wants to build is quick and quickly.We aim to realize an easy -to -achieve ATBEX environment.

Overview of "ATBEX Service Platform"

In order to build such a DX platform, ATBEX introduced "＠OS (ATBEX Oche Lettress System)" in 2020, and in 2021 the "ATBEX Portal" was opened.

＠OS is a system that automates / orchestras that automates settings of network devices and connecting services that make up ATBEX, which was handled by engineers in Tokyo.The building is working with ATBEX's customer portal, for example, has been completed in just a few minutes to build a logical line with Amazon Web Services (AWS), which has been two business days.

First, we started with a connection automation with Mega Cloud companies, but in the future other services will be automated.Applications from customers are accepted by the GUI of the customer portal system, which is a web UI for At Tokyo, but in the future, we will provide APIs for customers with the customer portal system and with the customer management system.The plan is to make it possible to cooperate.

"In October 2021, the ATBEX Osaka Zone also supported @OS. The ＠ OS and customer portal systems are being constructed in the concept of agile development, and new features will be released in a short cycle."Masu" (Mr. Sugiyama)

While continuing to improve and improve such services, information dissemination to users has been strengthened.That is the ATBEX portal.Useful information for using various services of ATBEX is posted in blog posts, technical documents, and video content.

Yuu Sone, the chief of the planning room in Tokyo and the management of the ATBEX portal, is the chief of the ATBEX portal, "At the same time, we are trying to disseminate useful information for customers used on site.I am. "The blog posts that are updated every week are mainly in charge of Att Tokyo employees, and explain detailed and easy -to -understand settings for using various ATBEX services.

It also emphasizes information about the ecosystem created by ATBEX's partner."Since the enhancement of the service that can be connected is directly linked to the appeal of ATBEX, we are trying to make customers know the abundant partner ecosystem of ATBEX," said Sone.Currently, he lists various partners, but he wants to strengthen the information to be provided in the future.

Highly trusted construction / operation / maintenance that supports innovative services

ATBEX, which continues to evolve into new steps, supports the innovative services that supports At Tokyo's data center construction / operation / maintenance technology and know -how, and providing high quality services.He is a person who does not spare his efforts.

"The fact that" aggressive "services like ATBEX in response to the new era can be provided because there are firm infrastructure that supports the service, as well as the technical infrastructure and human resources of at Tokyo that can build / operate it stably.I think "" (Mr. Sugiyama)

"In recent years, the need for expansion of trunk optical cables has increased in recent years," said Yuta Sakai, the chief of the equipment construction group designed group designed group designed in the data center.The number of customers seeking redundancy of on -site wiring, as well as trunk cables for ATBEX, has increased the number of cables.

Similarly, Mr. Tatsuya Yasumoto, director of the Cabling Service Group, a business service department in charge of operation / maintenance of the premises, said, "The need for diverse connectivity is increasing in customers, and along with it.The use of is increasing. "

On the other hand, IT is required to follow the speed of business changes, and the need for speeding up services and shortening the delivery is increasing.Tatsuya Dehara, a two -group manager of the equipment construction department in charge of construction and management of communication equipment in the data center, said in recent years, saying, "I feel that the speed of equipment construction is required."

Prevents problems and mistakes in infrastructure construction / operation / maintenance, and the provisions of efficiency are strictly adhered to the stable and reliability of services, but more efficiently provide services.At Tokyo engineers are working on such difficult tasks every day.

Be very careful about introducing new equipment, create the next generation with one team

As one of these initiatives, At Tokyo introduced the first ultra -high -density optical wiring cabinet in Japan in Japan and started operation in September 2021.This optical wiring cabinet contains about twice the optical wiring in the same installation area as the conventional equipment, and can solve at Tokyo's challenge, an increase in trunk cables.In addition, it has a completely front access design, and it can be installed on the wall, which has been a dead space, which can be used effectively.

From the viewpoint of stable operation of the service, there are many ideas to reduce problems and mistakes during cable connection work.The connected part of the optical cable has a SC connector at the request from at Tokyo, so you can ensure a reliable insertion work without tools.In addition, many cables are prepared in the cabinet, making it easier for a large amount of cables to be organized by color coding and symbol display.

During the introduction of the cabinet, Mr. Sakauchi and Mr. Yasumoto went to Koning in advance to make a trial and verification, eliminating the risk of working problems and mistakes one by one.

"For example, even a small accident such as breaking or breaking a optical cable due to a work mistake, the customer's service alone will stop.We have been introduced after being fully satisfied with safety. "(Mr. Sakai)

Only with these steady efforts, data centers can be stable, and customers can use the service of at Tokyo with confidence."This is the service only because the operating power of data center equipment, the technical capabilities of the network team and the technical skills of the network team are reliable," said Sugiyama, who is in charge of ATBEX.

"Even if you want to sell ATBEX as a brand of advanced services, you can't be a" brand "for services that cause trouble. At Tokyo, we have a safe and innovative ATBEX brand.It is made as a one -chewing team "(Mr. Sugiyama)
