LOGIQ Unveils Unified Support Brand 'OPENithm' for OSS Technologies

LOGIQ Launches Unified Brand 'OPENithm' for OSS Support

In a significant move within the IT infrastructure landscape, LOGIQ Co., Ltd. has introduced a unified brand named OPENithm for its technical support services, effective from May 12, 2025. Headquartered in Naha, Okinawa, Japan, LOGIQ aims to assist businesses in overcoming vendor lock-in challenges while streamlining their IT systems through comprehensive OSS (Open Source Software) solutions. The new brand focuses on supporting transitions to virtualization technologies, OpenJDK, and Linux, offering a wide range of services under the OPENithm banner.

Scope of Services Under OPENithm

LOGIQ has categorized its technical offerings into distinct avenues that will fall under the OPENithm brand. These include:

- OPENithm Private Cloud: Tailored solutions focusing on KVM and Xen-based private cloud infrastructure.
- OPENithm Universal Support for OpenJDK Ecosystem: Comprehensive assistance designed specifically for the OpenJDK environment, catering to businesses transitioning their Java applications.
- OPENithm Universal Support for Linux Ecosystem: Dedicated support services for Linux-based systems to ensure seamless operations.

While the brand OPENithm encapsulates LOGIQ's commitment to open-source technologies, the company will continue to operate under its existing name, LOGIQ, facilitating global outreach in collaboration with the new brand.

The Philosophy Behind OPENithm

The term OPENithm combines two fundamental ideas: "Open" representing freedom and accessibility in technology, and "Algorithm" symbolizing effective problem-solving methodologies. This naming reflects LOGIQ's dedication to leveraging enterprise-quality open-source knowledge to address the vendor lock-in dilemmas faced by clients.

The company is preparing for the international trademark application process after successfully securing the trademark in Japan, highlighting its intentions to expand the OPENithm brand globally.

Addressing Market Challenges

Recent market trends, including shifts in VMware policies and licensing issues surrounding Java environments, have led to increased complexities in technology selection for customers. LOGIQ recognizes that sudden vendor policy changes can disrupt established systems, compromising the autonomy of businesses in choosing their IT resources.

In response, LOGIQ embraces a philosophy rooted in freedom, diversity, and neutrality, dedicated to empowering customers with sustainable IT infrastructures through its three guiding principles and phases.

Three Principles of OPENithm

1. Full Open Source Commitment: Supporting community-driven OSS that is vendor-agnostic.
2. Enterprise-Proven Long-Term Operation: Delivering configurations that ensure structural reliability and operational sustainability.
3. Technology Sovereignty: Restoring control to clients over their technology lifecycle management and security measures.

Three Phases of Comprehensive Support

1. Assessment & Evaluation: Review clients’ current systems, dependencies, and constraints to formulate migration strategies.
2. Migration Design & Execution: Develop and implement migration plans using proven OSS stacks, ensuring a rollback option is available if needed.
3. Stabilization & Long-Term Operation: Establish robust operational frameworks that support long-term use of the OSS environment.

LOGIQ: Leaders in OSS Innovation

Founded by open-source professionals from Oracle Corporation, LOGIQ brings extensive expertise in Linux, KVM/Xen virtualization, and OpenJDK. The company's vision is to nurture OPENithm into a global standard that redefines enterprise IT and underlines its commitment to OSS. With its headquarters in Naha, Okinawa, along with branches in Hong Kong and New Cairo, LOGIQ is poised to offer multilingual and inclusive technical support services to local and international clients.
