Posted on: Thursday, 27 September 2007, 00:00 CDT
Internet Initiative Japan Inc. (IIJ, NASDAQ: IIJI, TSE1: 3774), one of Japan's leading Internet access and comprehensive network solutions providers, and Net Care, Inc., the IIJ Group company, today announced October 15, 2007, launch of the corporate hosting service, Net Care Virtual Platform Service f.a.s.t.
The f.a.s.t hosting service provides a dedicated virtual environment for each customer on a single physical server using virtualization software by U.S. VMware, Inc. The virtual platform is not limited by hardware performance or functions and allows the customer to use Windows, Linux, or any other OS of their choosing and to roll out their own applications.
There are several advantages to this system.
-- Supporting a variety of outsourcing needs Because the customer can freely build applications on the f.a.s.t server located at the IIJ data center, database servers and other internal servers, Web servers, and a variety of other functions can be outsourced. To support customer system operations, the IIJ Group will leverage its expertise acquired through its service desk business and data center operation and monitoring business, providing specialist engineers who monitor and operate the system 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
-- Flexible resource access Through virtualization technology, the physical server memory, SAN storage disk space, and other available resources can be partitioned and added to the customer's virtual environment when needed. This allows the necessary resources to be increased over time, which provides the perfect platform for customers who need flexibility after establishing their system.
-- High availability If a specific physical server experiences a failure, the virtual environment can be automatically transferred to another physical server. This minimizes system downtime and maximizes service continuity.
-- Selectable connection type The standard method of connecting to the f.a.s.t system is via IIJ's high-quality 1 Gbps Internet connection line. However, customers have a selection of connection types to suit their application environment, including wide area Ethernet, Internet VPN, and other network services, making it easy to outsource corporate servers.
IIJ is dedicated to delivering the most convenient and advanced services to our customers.
