NTT DATA

NTT DATA is a Tokyo-based IT services and consulting group owned by NTT. In hosting and infrastructure it sells managed services rather than a self-service cloud. Its cloud practice covers strategy, architecture and modernization, migration, managed operation of public or private cloud platforms (including sovereign and industry-specific setups), and ongoing cost and resilience optimization. It holds top partner status with Microsoft, AWS and Google Cloud, so clients usually run on those hyperscalers while NTT DATA operates the environment. Its Global Data Centers division runs over 160 facilities in more than 20 countries and regions, with more than 2 GW of critical IT load. It offers carrier-neutral colocation, interconnection, fit-out and 24x7 remote hands, and IDC named it a Leader in worldwide data center services for 2025. Public-sector references include managing Virginia's Azure environment for VITA and a public cloud services contract for the State of Texas. In 2026 it bought WinWire, a Microsoft-focused managed services firm. It suits large enterprises, governments and regulated industries that want one provider for migration, operations and physical capacity. No pricing is published, and every engagement is a custom quote through sales. The main limitation is that NTT DATA is a services integrator, not a developer platform. Small teams cannot sign up, start a virtual machine or pay by the hour, and the public pages do not set out standard SLA terms or certifications.
