BBIX and OEC add \u201cOita Data Center\u201d as a Connection Point \r\nfor \u201cOCF (OCX Compute Fabric)\u201d<\/h4>\r\n

Companies Enhancing “Toyonokuni IaaS”\u2014A Core Business Infrastructure for Local Governments and Private Enterprises<\/p>\r\n
\r\n

BBIX, Inc. (\u201cBBIX\u201d), a subsidiary of SoftBank Corp. that operates an Internet Exchange (IX) business, and OEC Co. Ltd. (\u201cOEC\u201d) opened an \u201cOCF (OCX Compute Fabric)\u201d connection point within the \u201cOita Data Center\u201d operated by OEC, and began offering OCF services in August 2026.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n

OCF is a cutting-edge, regionally distributed cloud service provided jointly by BBIX and IDC Frontier Inc.. It leverages \u201cOCX (Open Connectivity eXchange)\u201d\u2014a cloud-based network service developed by BBIX and its subsidiary BBSakura Networks, Inc.\u2014to seamlessly distribute and deploy robust cloud infrastructure across regional data centers.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n

OEC\u2019s proprietary private cloud, “Toyonokuni IaaS” primarily serves customers within Oita Prefecture, functioning as a comprehensive private cloud environment for both municipal and regional applications. With the new addition of OCF, OEC can seamlessly continue its “Toyonokuni IaaS” offerings while simultaneously designing and proposing more flexible services tailored to the specific needs and business scales of local enterprises and municipal clients.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n

Furthermore, combining OCX’s secure, closed-network connectivity with OCF’s regionally distributed cloud will drive the rollout of new solutions in collaboration with OCX partners. Leveraging the expansive OCX closed network enables the construction of Disaster Recovery (DR) environments linked to out-of-region bases, significantly reinforcing Business Continuity Planning (BCP) measures. Additionally, this integration addresses contemporary infrastructure challenges\u2014such as prolonged hardware procurement cycles, escalating equipment prices, and rising licensing fees\u2014by facilitating flexible cloud migrations and seamless integration with existing environments that align with rigorous security and cost requirements.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n

Looking ahead, OEC will utilize both OCX and OCF to strengthen connectivity between regional data centers and advance the development of local cloud infrastructure. Through the continuous provision of community-rooted services, BBIX and OEC remain committed to revitalizing the regional economy and fostering inter-regional collaboration.<\/p>\r\n
