NTT Com demonstration test to link GAIA-X platform and SDPF based on Data Trust®

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 28 -- NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com) will collaborate with the International Data Spaces Association in a demonstration test beginning Oct 1, as the first phase of contributing to the development of a secure, global data-management platform.

According to a statement, the platform assures interoperability between data platforms built and managed in countries worldwide.

The test environment for sharing highly confidential data securely will include IDS Connectors, the core technology of GAIA-X, a federated data infrastructure for Europe, and NTT Com’s Things Cloud® IoT platform and Smart Data Platform (SDPF), the later incorporating Data Trust® policies.

In the demonstration, a test environment will be built to test various cases of international data sharing, such as remote monitoring of machines overseas to verify the practicality and operability of data sharing.

Initially, in collaboration with the NTT Software Innovation Center, IDS Connector and SDPF will be deployed in a test environment in Japan to test system interoperability and the management of specific data-usage rights.

Thereafter, NTT Com will proceed with further verification and testing by applying the current test’s findings in a test operation environment, aiming to verify the interoperability of various hardware and software using the IDS Connector.

The new global data management platform will be jointly developed by Japanese and overseas companies and organisations.

The ICT solutions and international communications business within the NTT Group, NTT Com aims to contribute to the realisation of a smart world by developing and providing a platform for broad sharing and usage of data in wide-ranging fields worldwide.
