FUKUOKA, KAWASAKI and TOKYO– September 24, 2025 -(JCN Newswire)- Kyushu Electric Power Company, Incorporated (Kyushu Electric Power), Internet Initiative Japan Inc.(IIJ), QTnet, Inc.(QTnet), 1Finity Inc.(1Finity)and Nautilus Technologies, Inc.(Nautilus Technologies)today revealed that a presentation job for decentralized digital facilities building and confirmation in the Japanese Kyushu location will be introduced from October 2025.
The task looks for to attain an optimum synergy in between power resources and computational efficiency by adjoining decentralized information centers throughout the Kyushu location that make use of renewable resource sources, lined up with the “watt-bit partnership” effort, promoted by the Japanese federal government.(* 1)
Background
Amidst the quick boost in need for information centers with the popularization of AI and cloud services over the last few years, issues over electrical power need and information center website lacks are ending up being more noticable due to the concentration of information centers in city locations. In action, the Japanese federal government is working to draw in information center websites to local locations where decarbonized source of power are plentiful.(* 2)
Introduction
As part of the task, small information centers will be released throughout the Kyushu location and interconnected through APN (All-Photonics Network)(* 3), which makes it possible for interaction through optical signals. These information centers will run as one unified system, enabling smooth information storage and processing despite physical place. The network architecture will embrace photonics network user interface cards (NICs)(* 4) capable of straight managing optical signals, changing standard electrical signal-based interaction techniques.
This will be the world’s very first effort to understand affiliation of dispersed information centers(* 5), a field that is anticipated to grow in the future, photonics NIC that helps with low-latency, direct long-distance, high-capacity transmission in between servers utilizing optical signals. The direct affiliation of servers will likewise decrease the positioning of different network gadgets in the network course and consequently decrease power usage.
In addition, the dispersed information centers will be geared up with high-performance GPU servers specialized for AI processing. To flexibly make use of information centers situated in areas with differing power generation conditions in between day and night, the task will confirm an innovation for dispersed databases that makes it possible for AI and other processing by accessing information saved throughout numerous information. This technique permits calculating to be carried out despite physical area and supports effective usage of decentralized resources.
Future strategies are to carry out a confirmation of how this digital innovation deals with Kyushu’s regional energy power grid (power supply system), intending to produce the Kyushu variation of “watt-bit partnership”– a principle that looks for to attain an ideal balance in between energy (watts) and IT processing (bits).
Execution Plan
– Period
From October 2025 to March 2026
– Purpose
– Verification of digital innovation for the awareness of “watt-bit partnership”
– Assessment of the efficiency of AI processing and dispersed databases using decentralized digital facilities innovation
– Implementation information
– Distributed positioning of information centers: Distributed positioning of information center functions in several places in Kyushu (2 areas in the preliminary stage).
