Strategic Collaboration for Advanced Cloud and Data Center Solutions

In a significant move to strengthen cloud service environments and container-based data center infrastructures, four companies in Japan have entered into a partnership agreement. The companies include Acrete, Forward Edge-AI Japan, GetWorks, and GX Technology, all headquartered in Tokyo. This collaboration aims to leverage the unique strengths of each organization to create a robust service framework that not only encompasses cloud environment construction and management, but also extends to container data center facilities, renewable energy utilization, and the provision of quantum-resistant cryptography solutions.

Background and Objectives of the Partnership

The rapid advancement of AI services is bringing about a paradigm shift in existing societal systems, necessitating a more sophisticated IT foundation closely linked with critical infrastructures such as energy, telecommunications, finance, and transportation. To maintain the continuous operation of these essential infrastructures, it is imperative to swiftly develop resilient and sustainable data center and cloud environments.

With the recent surge in the adoption of AI and quantum technologies, there is an increasing demand for enhanced data processing capabilities and reduced environmental impact. While both the complexity and diversity of requirements grow, there is a noticeable gap in the speed and standard of IT infrastructure development within the country.

To address these social demands, the four collaborating companies are set to utilize their strengths—Acrete's expertise in robust AI-driven cybersecurity and quantum-resistant technology; GetWorks’ ability to rapidly construct scalable container-based data centers; and GX Technology's focus on energy-efficient operations using renewable sources. This synergy will foster a reliable and stable infrastructure that meets the needs of important organizations and businesses requiring cloud, data center infrastructure, and quantum encryption technology solutions.

Roles of Each Company in the Partnership

• - Acrete: Oversees the overall management of the partnership, handles sales and marketing activities, and introduces potential clients for container-based data center services to GetWorks.
• - Forward Edge-AI Japan: Responsible for providing quantum-resistant cryptography solutions.
• - GetWorks: Designs, develops, and builds the operational environment for container-based data centers. Also responsible for operating, maintaining, and managing necessary servers and cloud services, while introducing potential cloud service users to Forward Edge-AI Japan.
• - GX Technology: Operates and maintains the container-based data centers, manages facility equipment, and promotes the use of renewable energy within data center operations.

Future Outlook

Through this partnership, the four companies aim to meet the high reliability and availability standards expected of critical infrastructures, while promoting environmentally friendly data center operations and the integration of quantum cryptography technologies. They aspire to continuously address the expanding demand for digital transformation (DX) among businesses, contributing to their growth and the sustainable development of society as a whole.
