OpSource, Inc., the leader in Cloud operations, today announced a strategic partnership with Bplats, a leading Japanese technology consulting company, to bring OpSource Cloud™, the first Cloud to bring together the flexibility, availability and community of the public Cloud with the security, performance and control the enterprise requires, to the Japanese marketplace. The Japanese launch of OpSource Cloud is scheduled for November 4, 2009.
"Currently there are no Cloud solutions available in Japan," said Huzita Kenzi, president, Bplats. "To introduce the highly acclaimed OpSource Cloud to the Japanese market so quickly after its public availability in the Unites States is a major milestone for our marketplace. OpSource Cloud will not only meet enterprises' growing demand for Cloud computing but will bring Japanese companies the most powerful solution available today."
Bplats will offer a unique, localized transaction system that will enable Japanese companies to make all financial transactions locally, including bank transfers, payments and invoices. In addition, Japanese customers will be able to get in-person, native language support by working with locally based Bplats. Bplats is also offering a specialized and localized website that will offer a deep level of information and service about OpSource Cloud, building a Japanese community around this key Cloud offering.

OpSource Cloud is designed to allow IT departments to manage their security as they would within their internal IT infrastructure. Upon sign-up, each customer receives a Virtual Private Network and sets the degree of public Internet connectivity they wish to grant, from totally private to fully available. OpSource Cloud also provides user customizable security with a compliant, high-performance multi-tier Cloud architecture and full user control over firewall settings. In addition, other enterprise quality controls include user level login and passwords, operational permissions and departmental and sub-department reporting, all backed by a 100% SLA. OpSource Cloud is built on the same standard technology already being employed by enterprise IT. This ensures out-of-the-box trust, compatibility and productivity. With virtualization playing such a key role in Cloud computing, OpSource has selected VMware for virtualization and application portability between the Cloud and Enterprise.
For users weaned on the public Cloud experience, OpSource Cloud offers online sign-up, pay by the hour usage, and rich online communities. And immediate availability and flexibility ensure that developers and enterprise IT alike have access to enterprise quality computing capability when they need it, paying for it only when it is being used. This is the promise of Cloud computing and OpSource Cloud delivers it.
"Whereas Cloud business in the United States is mainly direct, system integrators are essential to the Cloud's success in Japan," said Treb Ryan, CEO, OpSource. "We are pleased to team with Bplats, the leading technology consultants in Japan, to bring OpSource Cloud to this crucial marketplace. We look forward to helping leading Japanese enterprises experience the collaborative, community-based power of the Cloud."
