~ Providing strong cloud service support for universities and research institutions ~
InfiniCloud (Headquartered in Shizuoka City, led by Yasushi Taki) has participated in the GakuNin Cloud Implementation Support Service organized by the National Institute of Informatics (NII).
As part of this initiative, the GakuNin Cloud Implementation Support Service has developed a comprehensive checklist covering critical areas such as information security, contractual and legal considerations, and support systems.InfiniCloud has completed and verified this checklist for its Private Cloud,Storage, and Network services. These verified responses are now available to universities and research institutions participating in the program.
Through this contribution, InfiniCloud is committed to supporting the adoption and integration of cloud technologies in higher education and research environments, further promoting the advancement of academic research and educational excellence.

By utilizing our Private Cloud service, for example, a virtual environment can be built for each laboratory and connected directly from the secure campus network, or a hybrid configuration can be created in which some functions, such as AI inference processing, are used in conjunction with other cloud or on-premises environments.
Advantages of Deploying an InfiniCloud Environment
1. Use of a safe and comfortable dedicated environment
A cloud environment built exclusively for universities and research institutes allows stable operation without being affected by other users. It achieves usability close to that of an on-premises system while also providing flexibility and security.
2. Fixed monthly plan for easy budget control
There is no pay-per-use fee based on resource usage or communication volume, so budget planning is clear, enabling efficient operation within limited research budgets.
3. Secure, low-latency network using closed network(L2 extension)
Connecting directly to the NTT NGN network without going through the internet, a low-latency, secure connection is provided, providing safe management of research data and results.
4. Optimal storage for different purposes
Meets a variety of needs, from high-speed, low-latency storage to large-capacity, low-cost models. Made for simple storage and sharing.
5. Improving operational efficiency through comprehensive provision from cloud to network
A consistent service from the cloud to the network. Reduces problems that occur between multiple vendors. Support for extensive research and academic activities are met by identifying the cause and reducing work costs.
