SB Cloud Corporation (“SB Cloud”), a joint venture between
SoftBank Corp. (“SoftBank”), the Japan-based telecom subsidiary of
SoftBank Group Corp. (TOKYO: 9984), and Alibaba Group Holding
Limited (NYSE: BABA) (“Alibaba Group”), announced it will offer
packaged Alibaba Cloud services for the Japanese market starting
December 15. Alibaba Cloud, the cloud computing arm of Alibaba
Group, has the largest share of the Chinese market with its
services.
Alibaba Cloud services provide the critical infrastructure that
supports the Alibaba Group’s e-commerce sites, which recently
processed a maximum 175,000 orders per second during this year’s
Singles’ Day, a large-scale sale that takes place in China on
November 11. With Alibaba Cloud, customers can use Alibaba Group
hosted data centers in China, the United States, Hong Kong,
Singapore and other locations in addition to those hosted by SB
Cloud in Japan. Since data centers around the world can be used
with a single account, Japanese and multinational companies, as
well as offshore companies providing services for the Japanese
market, can use cloud services conveniently. Also, since SB Cloud
offers its services in a Japanese yen denominated basis, Japanese
client companies can process expenses with ease.
Customers interested in SB Cloud’s services can apply via the SB
Cloud website (in Japanese).
About SB Cloud service
Main features:
- Virtual server services are offered in
a basic package at an affordable price of 1,200 yen per month (not
including tax). Customers can choose a package based on their disk
space and data traffic needs. Set up can be done on just one screen
of a dedicated website without submitting disk space and other
details.
- After setting up the virtual server
service, customers can get started right away since the service
boots in 60 seconds at the fastest.
- Since the total cost of the service is
always displayed on the set up screen, the risk of accidentally
applying for a high cost service can be avoided.
- The basic security service, Anti-DDoS,
is included in the package so customers can use the service with
peace of mind. In addition, a security service researched and
developed in China is also available as an optional service.
- As the service is denominated in
Japanese yen, Japanese client companies can process expenses with
greater ease.
