ASCII.jp KDDI has a new network base in Tama City to quickly respond to obstacles
KDDI relocated from Shinjuku, Tokyo to Tama City, Tokyo on November 12, 2021, and released a newly established network operation base to the media.An explanation was given to the facility and the latest initiatives for network disorders.
Network monitoring center of KDDI network operation bases newly established in Tama City, Tokyo
The network operation base was operated in Shinjuku, Tokyo, and was established in Osaka, in addition to the newly established Tama City, Tokyo.Currently, he is monitoring in Tama City, Tokyo and Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture.It is safe even if either is unable to operate either because the general surveillance center has become two places.
One of the reasons is that Tama City, Tokyo, was selected as a new base, because it is a disaster -resistant place.It is an area where it is on a hill of 100m or more above sea level, without worrying about tsunamis, etc.
In addition, the building has been adhered to the latest earthquake countermeasures, and under the floor, a laminated rubber that suppresses vibration, and an oil damper that suppresses shaking.Even if there is a large earthquake, the building itself is designed so that it is hard to shake.

In addition, it can be used continuously for 72 hours even if the emergency power supply and fuel are stored, and even if the power supply stops, it is stopped.In addition, it is a network operation base packed with the latest technologies that are environmentally friendly, such as the cooling system using the outside air.

It is also a point that the automation is progressing compared to the conventional system as a network operation base.Until now, the staff of each department has been providing information law by checking the impact, range, and reasons for the disability in the event of a failure.In addition, the check of the disability was also a system operation that combines KDDI's "Takumi's skill", which relys on many years of knowledge and skills, such as entering commands by the person in charge.
The operation automated allows more smart operations
In order to automate this system operation, we start with the work of visualizing the work they are doing.Takumi's skills were about 2,000 operations, defining about 40,000 system requirements so that they could be automated.It is said that this automation has been realized in the development period of about five years.

Automating to reduce recovery time by up to 40 %
Automation has a significant effect on the work style of the person in charge as well as operating -on smartization.Until now, the surveillance worker had to go to the monitoring center, but it is also possible to remote work by automation of Gystem.In addition to working style in normal times, even if you cannot use transportation in the event of a disaster and cannot go to the monitoring center, you will be involved in network monitoring.
The office is a free address, and employees in the city center can use it here to make telework.
The published monitoring center displays huge displays, network operation status, and Twitter trends.By picking up and checking keywords such as out of service or not connecting, you can catch network disorders quickly.
In recent years, mobile communication has been linked not only with mobile phones but also with IoT equipment and various services, so if a disability occurs, the entire social system will be down.Nevertheless, there are natural disasters and cannot be reduced to no obstacles.It is important how to suppress the occurrence, reduce the impact, and quickly recover.KDDI's new network monitoring base is one of the efforts to do so.
