(Da Nang City, November 6th, 2024) - Internet Initiative Japan Inc.(TSE Prime:3774), one of Japan’s leading Internet access and comprehensive network solutions providers, and its Vietnam-based, 100% owned subsidiary IIJ Global Solutions Vietnam Company Limited (IIJ GS Vietnam)-the cloud and security service provider, and NAL Solutions have just announced the signing of a cooperation agreement to deploy IIJ Manged Cloud services (a managed services and solutions for AWS). This collaboration aims to assist NAL Solutions in building a comprehensive innovative projects and qualify products in developing Web System, Mobile Phone, AI & Big Data, IoT, and AR/VR.
NALs have been utilizing AWS services for approximately 7-8 years, during which time our accounts have increased to nearly ten. As a result, we realized that optimizing costs had become challenging and time-consuming. Therefore, NALs are seeking solutions to optimize costs as effectively as possible.
Additionally, we require AWS Enterprise-level Support , which can be categorized into three key needs:
1. NALs is an information technology company that develops services and frequently adopts new AWS offerings. Often, these new services are not yet fully developed, and their documentation may be incomplete. Direct support from AWS would be beneficial in these cases.
2. During the development process, we encounter various security-related issues, which can lead to many bugs or warnings from AWS that may block access to services. Direct contact with AWS is crucial for resolving these issues promptly.
3. We need assistance with major problems, such as when AWS's infrastructure encounters significant issues. In such cases, it is critical for NALs to receive prioritized support from AWS to ensure that project environments are restored as quickly as possible.
However, the cost of the Enterprise Support package can be a huge amount for companies like NALs.
To ensure the successful implementation of this manged services and solutions for AWS, which emphasizes high performance, scalability, and cost optimization, NAL Solutions has selected IIJ Global Solutions Vietnam as its strategic service provider for a sophisticated process as a one-stop service with a full spectrum of service offerings for them who already used AWS.
Through the managed services and solutions for AWS, IIJ ensures the smooth and flexible operation of NAL Solutions's IT infrastructure. IIJ Managed Cloud service shortens the distance between data and value by delivering maximum uptime with minimal administrative overhead. NAL Solutions also see additional advantages like reduced costs, retirement of technical debt, and increased speed and security so that they can focus on innovation and actual results
1. From a financial perspective, after signing up for the IIJ Managed Cloud service, the Enterprise Support package costs only around 10% of the total usage cost, making it a much more economical option compared to the cost of the AWS Enterprise Support. The average AWS usage cost of NALs can save up to 72.5% with IIJ Managed Cloud service.
2. Furthermore, the IIJ Managed Cloud service also addresses invoicing issues for our company.
3. In terms of long-term progress, optimizing costs typically takes about a year to evaluate. NALs has only been using the service for about one month, so we have not seen any significant results, but we are still looking forward to the impacts.
On the side of IIJ GS Vietnam, Mr. Ryo Matsumoto, CEO & President, added "I want to thank NAL Solutions for choosing our IIJ Managed Cloud for AWS service.
