Recently, computing technology is essential for the success of big science projects. For ongoing large-scale experiments of high energy physics (HEP), computing is one of the key technology in addition to accelerator and detector. The KEK central computing system (KEKCC) plays a significant role in the computing for various experiments conducted in KEK, such as the Belle \/ Belle II, J-PARC experiments, etc. KEK Computing Research Center commits to the purchase and operation of the computing system. The computer system is entirely replaced every 4-5 years through the procurement process, and it was redesigned and build from scratch to meet requirements from experiment groups. FY2016 is the year that we pushed hard on launching the new system. After eight months installation work, the new KEKCC unveiled in September 2016. It is a rental system of the four-years contract until August 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
