Why we chose this site
Ariake, Tokyo is one of the focal points of Japan's digital infrastructure. We can keep data in Japan while connecting directly to global carrier and cloud backbones — close enough for our team to reach the floor quickly in an emergency.
Facility specs
Connectivity
As a carrier-neutral facility, it connects directly to domestic and international networks regardless of carrier. Major public clouds are reached over dedicated interconnects.
- Multiple carriers (KDDI · NTT · SoftBank and others) concurrently
- AWS Direct Connect on-ramp
- Azure ExpressRoute on-ramp
- Google Cloud Interconnect on-ramp
- Direct international backbone for low-latency reach to Korea and Asia
Security and compliance
Physical and operational security together. The facility is protected by multi-stage access control and 24/7 monitoring; our team operates with change management, access logs, and regular vulnerability assessments as standards.
Data sovereignty
Suitable for workloads that must keep data in Japan for legal or regulatory reasons — finance, public sector, and sensitive data. Backups and secondary sites included, the entire data path stays in Japan.
Operations
TY11 isn't an unstaffed colocation. ARICO's systems, network, and security engineers staff it in shifts, managing mean response time in minutes when an incident occurs.
Visit
Prospective customers can tour the facility by prior arrangement. Within what security policy allows, you can see the setup and operations in person.
