BBIX (OCX) connection point at Kobe Data Center (Nishi-ku, Kobe City) operated by NEC on December 1, 2023.
OCX is a cloud-based network service provided on BBIX’s IX platform. OCX provides on-demand, highly secure, low-latency, scalable connectivity services to a variety of cloud services and data centers used by customers.
BBIX and NEC signed a business partnership agreement in the business domain of data center connectivity, and NEC’s Inzai Data Center (Inzai City, Chiba Prefecture) and Kanagawa Data Center (Sagamihara City, Kanagawa Prefecture) are already OCX connection points. The newly added Kobe Data Center is located in a safe and convenient location, less susceptible to damage from natural disasters, and is located only one hour from the center of Osaka. The data center is also equipped with NEC’s proprietary facial recognition technology, making it a robust data center in terms of security. With the addition of the Kobe Data Center to the OCX network, customers in western Japan, especially in the Kobe area, will be able to use OCX through NEC’s high-quality data center.
By combining BBIX’s network solutions with NEC’s data center services, BBIX will continue to help customers accelerate their DX (Digital Transformation) and to contribute to new business creation.

We will continue to contribute to our customers’ DX promotion and business growth through our cooperation with BBIX.
