October 29, 2013 on Tuesday, for OCPJ members, NTT Comware (Service Division next-generation data center WG) held tours of NTT Comware’s “Energy Efficient and Heat Recycling Data Denter”.

There were many applicants and attendees for this event. This was well-deserved due to the excellent reputation of this site.
On the day, there was also a question-and-answer session held after the tour where meaningful information was shared. We would like to thank NTT Comware for their organization of this event.
