\r\nIn addition to the continued rise of Internet usage in recent years, Internet traffic is seeing additional increases due to changes in social behavior patterns, such as working from home and remote classes. Increased traffic demand from content providers based in the Tokyo metropolitan and Kansai areas is becoming particularly apparent; and addressing this demand is a major issue for local Internet operators.\r\n<\/p>\r\n
\r\n
\r\nBy establishing the Sendai Center in the Sendai Central Data Center of TOHKnet, which is known for its latest disaster countermeasures and highly reliable power source, content operators and Internet operators in the Tohoku area can not only enjoy stable BBIX services with ease; they can also meet demand above traffic volumes while realizing low latency and high quality internet connections.\r\n<\/p>\r\n
\r\n
\r\nIn the nine years since the Great East Japan Earthquake, Tohoku has been making efforts toward recovery and reconstruction in various fields. Amid the challenges facing the region and the creation of a “new Tohoku” triggered by the reconstruction, BBIX will contribute to the sustainable vitality of Tohoku through the IX services provided by the Sendai Center.\r\n<\/p>\r\n
