AirTrunk starts OSK1 construction in West Osaka

Hyperscale data centre specialist AirTrunk has commenced the construction of its 20 megawatt (MW) data centre, AirTrunk OSK1, in West Osaka, following a jichinsai ceremony.

The ceremony was performed by a Shinto Priest and included rituals to spiritually purify the site to pave the way for safe and smooth construction.

Located in west Osaka, OSK1 will support Japan’s digitalisation as critical digital infrastructure powering the region’s acceleration to cloud technology.

Last October, AirTrunk unveiled plans to build OSK1, which will be powered by onsite 77kV substation.

“A surge in artificial intelligence applications and enterprise cloud adoption is driving huge demand for critical digital infrastructure in key markets across Japan,” said AirTrunk founder and CEO Robin Khuda at that time.

“The development and ongoing operations of OSK1 will have a positive impact on the local economy, generating new jobs, enabling public cloud growth, fostering sustainable innovation, and contributing to the local community,” claimed AirTrunk head of Japan Nori Matsushita.

The facility will service a new major cloud availability zone, complementing AirTrunk’s existing data centres in east and west Tokyo, AirTrunk TOK1 and AirTrunk TOK2.
