New Virtual Appliance Download Service
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
I-NET began a new cloud platform-based service in June 2009 utilizing our next generation data center, which features Japan’s highest level of safety and the latest technology, as well as virtual technology.
The first phase begins with our new VA Online Service from July 1, 2010 that combines VAiOS (Virtualization All in One Services), a cloud computing platform utilizing our virtual technology, and Virtual Single Company (VSC) software by GAIA that supports creating IFRS consolidated statements.
VA Online Service allows cloud service providers to download software for virtual appliance core systems, which they can then provide to contracted client companies in SaaS form. This is a joint development with VMnet (CEO: Hideki Tsumura), a virtual business consultancy, and GAIA (CEO: Toru Nakamichi), which develops and markets the J-GAIA Web ERP package.
These three companies came together to create the Cloud Service Alliance (CSA), a membership-based alliance that aims to optimize corporate information systems using cloud technology.
CSA offices are located with VMnet. CSA holds seminars (reviews of cloud platforms, cloud platform system development, cloud business strategies, etc.) to tackle the various critical problems facing corporations, creates libraries of new services with member corporations, and further offers its VA Online Service. |

*Virtual Appliance
A virtual appliance is an encapsulated file that installs OS, middleware, and various applications in I/O and other peripheral devices in a virtual server that operates in a virtual environment. The system can be reproduced over and over with the installation intact. |

Future I-NET Development
I-NET continues to drive mastery of the advanced technology behind the ever-evolving field of cloud computing. We also aim to realize better cloud platforms and provide better cloud services so that CSA corporate members and client corporations can fully enjoy the superiority and usability of cloud computing.

Features of the 2nd Data Center
1. Location affords enhanced convenience and safety for the metropolitan area
The 2nd Data Center has recently been constructed on solid ground with minimal risk of either flooding or liquefaction. Mindful of the region’s constant natural risks, it is sited some 9 km inland at an altitude of 48 m above sea level, yet is about 37 km from the urban center. Although it is located in the Tokyo suburbs, it has convenient access to the city center, and the center can be visited in the event of a disaster.
2. Facility incorporates the most rigorous safety measures in the country
The building incorporates a seismic isolation system (a quake-absorbing structure) using the hybrid TASS construction method, and power supplies and air-conditioning systems, etc. based on redundant configurations are provided to support disaster recovery and business continuity plans (BCP). A 2-system power receiver is used for the extra high voltage of 66,000 V, the power generator can operate continuously for 48 hours even in the event of a power cut, and – in the event of a disaster – operations can still continue beyond that thanks to an automatic fuel supply system.
3. State-of-the-art security system
In order to ensure security at the data center, access is controlled by non-contact IC cards, passwords and biometric technology (iris verification), while entry and exit to/from rooms is controlled through a combination of flapper gates and mantraps. A rigid security system has also been established by monitoring and storing images using a cutting-edge ITV camera.
4. Environment-friendly ecological data center
An airflow design has been adopted using advanced thermal analysis technology and a cutting-edge VR system – “Hybrid Vision” – to simulate a warmer environment.
Ensuring a 77-cm free access height and five-meter story height, a more efficient air-conditioning system has been designed by adopting flat ceiling slabs, reducing electricity consumption using an energy monitoring system, and supporting ecological IT, such as reducing the load imposed on facilities and equipment, etc. by collecting waste heat using a total heat exchange ventilation strategy.
The 2nd Data Center was assessed as “A rank” under the Comprehensive Assessment System for Building Environmental Efficiency (CASBEE Yokohama).
5. Open carrier network
Open carrier network - Nodes are set up for a number of carriers for quick access to users’ networks, enabling speeds of 10G or more with large volume communication from the introduction stage.
