Recent strategic acquisitions include US data center provider RagingWire, German data center operator e-shelter, collaboration service provider Arkadin, and US carrier Virtela. By increasing its global presence throughout its diversified portfolio of companies, NTT Com is creating new opportunities to promote, sell and upgrade its services. NTT Com’s entry included evidence of many customer wins, and the judges were impressed by the solid testimonials it provided from a range of highly satisfied customers. NTT Com is "a global wholesale leader with strong customer endorsements," while another described NTT Com as "innovative and forward-looking."
