October 6, 2009 (FinancialWire) -- Internet Initiative Japan, Inc. (NASDAQ: IIJI) (TSE1: 3774), one of Japan's leading Internet access and comprehensive network solutions providers, said it will build a cloud computing platform at data centers connected directly through IIJ's high-volume backbone network, and this will be used to deliver a line of newly developed cloud services under the name IIJ GIO.

Ahead of the emergence of Infrastructure as a Service, which belongs to the cloud computing phenomenon, The IIJ Group has been offering its Integration & Business Platform Service since 2000, which enabled customers to add network resources and system resources on demand as an outsourced service. This newly built cloud platform consists of several thousands of servers, and this will be merged with the dynamic IBPS to provide IIJ GIO as a new cloud service. The first service, to be introduced in November 2009, is GIO Private, a private cloud service that is highly customizable to meet diverse needs. Following that in April 2010 will be GIO Public, a packaged, inexpensive public cloud service.
