OCX Compute Fabric Receives Judge's Special Award at Interop Tokyo 2026

OCX Compute Fabric (OCF), a regionally distributed cloud platform provided by BBIX, Inc. and IDC Frontier Inc., received the sole Judge's Special Award in the Enterprise & Cloud (Cloud Service) category at the 'Best of Show Award' during the internet technology event 'Interop Tokyo 2026,' announced on June 10, 2026.

Interop Tokyo 2026 is being held at Makuhari Messe from June 10 to June 12, 2026. The 'Best of Show Award' evaluates new products and services submitted by exhibitors, with a committee of media and academic experts selecting the top entries.

This marks the second consecutive year of recognition for BBIX's OCX-related services, following the Grand Prix win for 'OCX Mobile Access' at Interop Tokyo 2025.

Launched in February 2026, OCF distributes cloud infrastructure across nationwide OCF partner sites and connects them via the private network of 'OCX' (Open Connectivity eXchange), a cloud-based network service. This enables low-latency, secure multi-region environments.

The award specifically recognized OCF's ability to integrate distributed cloud infrastructure with private networks, allowing companies to resell affordable VM services under their own brands. Furthermore, OCF serves a critical role for cloud providers struggling to sustain their own VM services.

Sayaka Iba, in charge of technology at BBIX, commented, "We developed this based on the needs of existing OCX users who wanted to utilize network and cloud infrastructure as a single entity." Despite the high-difficulty, one-year development timeline, the combination of IDC Frontier's infrastructure expertise and BBIX's network design knowledge allowed for rapid service delivery.

During Interop Tokyo 2026, the BBIX booth is offering live demonstrations of the OCF console and portal, showcasing VM creation, network settings, and operational management.
