BBIX and TOHKnet add \u201cSendai Chuo Data Center\u201d as a Connection Site for \u201cOCF (OCX Compute Fabric)\u201d\r\n<\/h4>\r\n

TOHKnet Launches \u201cTOHKnet Cloud Server powered by OCF,\u201d Cloud Service Close to the Tohoku and Niigata Regions<\/p>\r\n
\r\n

BBIX, Inc. (\u201cBBIX\u201d), a subsidiary of SoftBank Corp. that operates an Internet Exchange (IX) business, and TOHKnet Co., Inc. (\u201cTOHKnet\u201d) opened an \u201cOCF (OCX Compute Fabric)\u201d connection site within the \u201cSendai Chuo Data Center\u201d operated by TOHKnet, and began offering OCF services on October 1, 2026. In line with this, TOHKnet will launch OCF under the service name \u201cTOHKnet Cloud Server powered by OCF.\u201d<\/p>\r\n
\r\n

OCF is a cutting-edge, regionally distributed cloud service provided jointly by BBIX and IDC Frontier Inc. By leveraging \u201cOCX (Open Connectivity eXchange)\u201d, a cloud-based network service developed by BBIX and its subsidiary BBSakura Networks, Inc., the two companies seamlessly distribute and deploy robust cloud infrastructure across regional data centers, delivering a secure, low-latency cloud environment in close proximity to customer sites.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n

In recent years, while the use of cloud services has become widespread among companies and local governments, there is growing demand for cloud infrastructure located in close proximity to users, driven by data sovereignty and security requirements. To address these needs, TOHKnet will launch an OCF site at the \u201cSendai Chuo Data Center,\u201d expanding cloud infrastructure options available to customers in the Tohoku and Niigata regions.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n

\u201cTOHKnet Cloud Server powered by OCF\u201d is a cloud service resold by TOHKnet using OCF provided by BBIX and IDC Frontier, delivering it directly to customers as its own service. Combining OCF with TOHKnet\u2019s private network and data center services supports high-security, high-availability systems, enabling a flexible hybrid IT environment. By delivering integrated network, data center, and cloud solutions, TOHKnet helps customers drive digital transformation (DX), strengthen business continuity (BCP), and optimize IT infrastructure.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n

Through this new OCF site, BBIX and TOHKnet will expand cloud options across Tohoku and Niigata, driving regional digital growth with unified network, data center, and cloud solutions.<\/p>\r\n
