2026年国内モジュール型／コンテナ型データセンターの利用動向

Mimei Ito — Mon, 08 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

AI（Artificial Intelligence）インフラ設置需要の急拡大を背景に、国内ではモジュール型データセンター（DC）の利用が加速している。GPU（Graphics Processing Unit）サーバーの技術仕様の変化が速く、通常のDC建物の建設では対応が困難なためである。本調査レポートは、国内のモジュール型DCの利用動向を分析している。なお、IDCではコンテナ型DCをモジュール型DCのサブタイプとして定義している。

「モジュール型DC利用拡大の主因はGPUサーバー設置需要であり、特にクラウド事業者によるGPUクラウド事業の立ち上げがけん引している」とIDC Japan、Software, Services, and IT Spendingのリサーチマネージャーである伊藤未明は述べている。

Mailroom Automation: Key Trends for Tech Buyers, 2026

Robert Palmer — Mon, 01 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Tech Buyer Presentation focuses on results from IDC's 2025 Mailroom Management and Services Survey. IDC conducted a United States–based survey with companies to evaluate trends in mailroom management and operations. The goal of the survey was to understand current conditions and challenges in mailroom operations, adoption trends in mailroom outsourcing and digital mail, benefits and barriers to adopting digital mailroom solutions, and ongoing trends in digital versus printed mail.

Mounting pressure to reduce costs, accelerate information processing, and support distributed workforces is driving organizations to embrace digital mailroom solutions as part of a broader initiative to automate the mailroom and drive operational excellence.

Specifically, this presentation explains why it is critically important to:

Develop a mailroom automation strategy that considers a balanced mix of print and digital communications
Consider full-scale integration, hybrid capability planning, enterprise system connectivity, and staff enablement to maximize long-term digital return on investment
Understand that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to mailroom automation, as organization size, industry compliance requirements, communication volumes, and workforce distribution demand tailored strategies that balance digital innovation with operational requirements

NTT DXパートナーによる地域企業へのDX支援プラットフォームの提供

Hitoshi Ichimura — Thu, 28 May 2026 04:00:00 GMT

本調査レポートでは、NTT DXパートナーが提供する金融機関向け企業DX支援プラットフォーム「DXSTAR for Bank」の取り組みと事例を取り上げ、課題解決に向けた施策と展望を考察する。

国内の地域企業ではデジタル化、デジタルトランスフォーメーション（DX）が停滞している中で、地域金融機関による顧客企業へのデジタル化、DX支援が期待されている。政府も金融庁における「地域金融力強化プラン」において地域金融機関のDX支援を要請している。ただし、多くの地域金融機関ではDX支援ノウハウが不足していることも課題となっている。したがって、「NTT DXパートナーによる地域金融機関向けDX推進支援ソリューションは、地域金融機関だけではなく、地域全体の課題解決に寄与することが見込まれる」とIDC Japan、Software, Services, and IT Spendingのシニアリサーチマネージャーである市村仁は述べている。
