Santen Selects NTT Hybrid-cloud ICT Infrastructure For Global Growth

(RTTNews) - NTT Communications Corp., the ICT solutions and international communications business within the NTT Group (NTT), said it has constructed an ICT backbone and information system that Santen Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. would use as core ICT infrastructure to support its goal of becoming one of the world's top three providers of medicines for prescription ophthalmic solutions.

The hybrid-cloud environment combines NTT Com's branded services for cloud, data center and network, which are globally centralized for efficient system management and supported with a globalized multilingual help desk for Santen employees.

The centralized hybrid-cloud infrastructure enables Santen to optimize ICT resources and costs, respond more flexibly to global business-development needs, enhance global governance and strengthen business continuity.

Hybrid clouding started in Japan in January and will be expanded to the company's EU and USA bases. Services for system management and support were first deployed at Santen's EU bases in October and will be expanded to the company's Japanese and U.S. bases.
