Oracle announced that NTT DATA Japan, a global digital business and IT services leader that is part of the NTT Group, has selected Oracle Alloy to help Japanese organizations across the public and private sector accelerate the use of cloud services, while addressing data sovereignty and compliance requirements.
With Oracle Alloy deployed in its data centers, NTT DATA Japan will be able to give its customers access to 150-plus Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) services, including the latest AI capabilities. Oracle Alloy is a complete cloud infrastructure platform that enables Oracle partners to become cloud service providers.
With Oracle Alloy deployed in two of its data centers, NTT DATA Japan will be able to expand OpenCanvas, its sovereign cloud for domestic organizations, by offering the latest OCI capabilities, including infrastructure and platform services, and cloud-native development tools.
Additional capabilities powered by Oracle Alloy are scheduled to be available on OpenCanvas in the Japan East region by the end of December 2025 and in the Japan West region by the end of March 2027.
“The aim of our data center strategy is to meet new demands for cloud and data utilization, including new on-premises and sovereign requirements, and Oracle Alloy plays an extremely important role in this,” said Hiroshi Tomiyasu, director and executive vice president, NTT DATA Japan. “As a global solutions provider, NTT DATA Japan is also looking to expand its presence overseas and is committed to helping its Japanese customers strengthen their global competitiveness by providing cloud services enhanced with Oracle Alloy to facilitate the migration to the cloud and secure use of data to meet data sovereignty requirements. As a global solutions provider, NTT DATA Japan is looking forward to further support from Oracle to promote cloud computing and data utilization.”
OpenCanvas will also continue to provide its own customized, proprietary cloud services, ensuring it can meet the specific needs of its broad customer base across industries, including financial services, the public sector, and telecommunications.
Oracle Alloy will help ensure customer data is stored within Japan to help address data sovereignty and regulatory requirements across industries.
In the future, NTT DATA Japan will consider utilizing innovative technologies from the NTT Group, such as the IOWN (Innovative Optical and Wireless Network) initiative, and the large language model (LLM) called “tsuzumi.”
“Providing our partners and customers with more choices has always been our priority,” said Scott Twaddle, senior vice president, Product and Industries, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. “Oracle Alloy enables NTT DATA Japan to utilize the latest cloud and AI technologies to enhance its data center capabilities, helping its customers unlock new growth opportunities. We look forward to strengthening our collaboration with NTT DATA Japan and accelerating the digital transformation of Japanese organizations.”
