the system as a whole consists of fewer constituent elements and because Cisco UCS

“We definitely saw Cisco UCS as an advanced product, but to be honest, what with
Cisco being a network vendor, we had some misgivings about whether Cisco servers
would really be OK,” admits Mr. Kirita. In 2009, evaluation on the actual machines
had already been carried out within NTT Data’s in-house R&D department and the
company had concluded that there were no problems with reliability or performance.
He recalls, however, that until the hardware was actually in use, some unease
remained. Nevertheless, once the servers were up and running these doubts proved
completely unfounded. “We have not had any trouble with our hardware since we
installed the system. Its operation is very stable” he says.

At present, the migration of the in-house IT system is proceeding in an orderly fashion
and extra blade servers have also been installed. As of August 2011, there are 24
blades. The whole system migration is scheduled to be completed by the end of
FY2012 and at that point a total of 32 blades should be in place.

Expertise acquired on in-house IT system also applied to
cloud-based BIZXAAS service
“I firmly believe that this in-house IT system innovation project will become an
exemplary model of cloud-platform development in the industry,” says Mr. Makoto
Yoshioka, Senior Executive Manager, System Engineering Business Unit, System
Platforms Sector, NTT Data Corporation. He explains that the expertise acquired
on this project is also being applied to the BIZXAAS service provided by NTT Data.
BIZXAAS is a comprehensive cloud service covering a wide range of areas from
optimization consulting to migration, cloud development, operation management, and
platform services. Released in February 2010, the service was launched in April of the

“’Cloud’ has been around as a buzzword and in concept. With the arrival of Cisco
UCS, the platform has finally caught up to the buzz”, says Mr. Yoshioka. He goes
on to explain how, by combining Cisco’s leading-edge technology with the social
information infrastructure and the extensive track-record in IT system-development
accumulated by NTT Data, they will be able to deliver optimal cloud-platform-
development solutions. “Japanese businesses are in an ever more difficult economic
environment, and increasingly demand an optimized cloud platform. Cisco is a critical
business partner as we drive this opportunity forward.”
