Founded in 2007 as the server division of a mobile content provider boasting over 8 billion monthly page views, Beyond has steadily progressed step by step, primarily providing physical server hosting/housing services. Over the more than
ten years since its founding in 2007, Beyond has experienced numerous twists and turns. Starting with a small team, Beyond is now supported by many customers, partners, and employees, and continues to grow and expand steadily. Based on its
mission to "make the world a little easier," Beyond will continue to focus on global expansion and overseas business, aiming for even greater growth as a globally recognized "behind-the-scenes" force in the IT/Web industry.
