What does Beyond do?
We mainly provide technical support services for constructing and operating server infrastructure on behalf of our customers using various cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, and Azure.
(Businesses that provide services like Beyond are also called "managed service providers (MSPs)" and "cloud integrators.")
In cases where our customers say, ``We can implement and develop programs in-house, but we are building servers with one hand, or we don't know,'' or ``Our company simply doesn't have enough work resources.'' We often ask Beyond to help with tasks such as server construction and operation and data migration.
Although there are various technical fields and areas that can be collectively referred to as "IT technology," server mechanisms in particular are "generally invisible and difficult to imagine."
For such people, we believe that one of the services that Beyond provides is to provide an easy-to-understand image of the server so that they can feel familiar with it.
*At Beyond, in addition to the cloud/server construction and operation services mentioned above, we also undertake contract development of web systems/apps and provide web services developed and operated in-house.
Please tell us about the strengths, features, and areas of expertise of your service.
Founded in 2007 as the server division of a mobile content provider that boasted "more than 8 billion page views per month" at the time of its founding, the company has continued to steadily advance step by step to this day, focusing on physical server hosting and housing services. We have a history of doing so.
Because of this historical background, Beyond's cloud/server construction, operation and maintenance, and system development is focused on designing, building, and developing cloud/servers for large-scale web services such as games, apps, EC sites, media sites, and digital content. We specialize in migration, 24/7 operation maintenance/monitoring.
Based on the knowledge and technology of infrastructure construction and operation to date, we support scaling and parameter tuning of large-scale infrastructure environments ranging from dozens to hundreds of machines.
In addition, in order to respond to rapidly changing markets and needs, BEYOND has formed partnerships with many cloud vendors, both overseas and domestic, so we can provide multi-tasking services for the construction and operation of various clouds and servers. The feature is that it can be handled in the cloud.

Please tell me the comparison and differences between cloud servers and on-premises (physical servers).
Comparisons and differences between cloud servers and on-premises (physical servers) include the following features:
Characteristics of cloud servers | |
Safety | ・Since the hardware infrastructure (server/network) is redundant as standard, there are fewer service outages due to hardware failures. |
Operational aspect | ・You can immediately build a server, add more servers, and improve specifications without choosing the location of the server.
- The server can be scaled out for high load access. |
Price aspect | ・Since most cloud services charge a pay-as-you-go fee for the amount of data transferred, monthly costs fluctuate.
・Service fees for overseas cloud services, such as AWS, GCP / Azure / Oracle Cloud, etc., fluctuate monthly due to exchange rates. |
merit | - Resources can be added as needed and in the amount needed, making it easy to add resources.
・Even if the server configuration is the minimum configuration at the time of cloud introduction, specifications can be increased or decreased after the service starts. |
Demerit | - Since the hardware infrastructure and configuration are black boxes, it is difficult to determine the cause and evaluate performance when a failure occurs due to hardware.
・Since the amount of data transferred is pay-as-you-go, the cost of monthly service usage fees may increase. |
comprehensive evaluation | ・For web services and systems where the access load to the server changes suddenly, such as games and apps / EC sites / media sites / digital content, the cloud is suitable because it can quickly respond to resource additions and scale-outs.
・When it comes to cloud reliability, most cloud services are audited annually by internationally recognized third-party auditing organizations to provide assurance regarding security, privacy, and compliance controls. |
Features of on-premises (physical server) | |
Safety | - Since the data is stored in a physical environment, the location of the server is clear. |
Operational aspect | - Machine resources such as servers, firewalls, and load balancers can be monopolized by one company, making it easy to customize as a unique system according to the company's requirements. |
Price aspect | ・Although initial installation costs are required, monthly costs are often fixed, so monthly cost management is stable. However, there are indirect human costs that are not visible, such as infrastructure maintenance man-hours, data center rack costs, electricity costs, and hardware manufacturer maintenance updates. |
merit | - Because it is exclusively owned by one company, it is not affected by other users' systems. - Performance of machines and resources such as CPU/memory is clear. |
Demerit | ・There is a risk of server outage due to physical hardware failure. ・It is difficult to improve the specifications of hardware resources. ・When initially introducing hardware, it takes time to size and estimate the system. |
comprehensive evaluation | ・Since server machine/hardware resources can be used to the maximum, when developing a mission-critical system that does not go through the external Internet, a physical server can maintain stable and high performance than a cloud. I can.
・In performance evaluation compared to cloud services, some studies have shown that the performance results are more than three times higher. |
*Beyond can provide server operation, maintenance, and monitoring (24 hours a day, 365 days a year) even in on-premises (physical server) infrastructure environments.
In addition, in the case of designing and building an on-premises (physical server) infrastructure environment and providing on-site support, we will work with Beyond's infrastructure partners.
● Cloud/server design/construction
● Cloud/server migration/migration
● AWS cloud integration
What kind of applications are the services provided by Beyond suitable for?
Web services such as games, apps, EC sites, media sites, and digital content require speed and flexibility, and are suitable for companies that operate services that are directly linked to sales, and for content development and management. This is probably suitable for companies that want to concentrate, or companies that do not have a server administrator in the first place.
Additionally, there is a tendency for companies facing such issues to outsource their services to MSPs (managed service providers) like Beyond, which specialize in cloud/server construction, operation, maintenance, and monitoring.

Please tell me about the process of system development.
By participating in the planning stage of the web services/systems that our customers require, we centralize all the work processes necessary for system development, from initial requirements hearing to system design, implementation, testing, and post-release operation and maintenance. We are able to develop systems reliably and at minimum cost.
◆ Development phase ◆ | ◆ Main work contents ◆ |
① Hearing/Requirements definition | This is the process of identifying (defining) the system requirements, such as how to realize the services/content desired by the customer. Engineers participate from the initial concept stage and work together with the customer to consider and decide on system specifications. |
② Basic design (external design) | This is the process of designing UI/UX, which determines performance such as system/application operability and efficiency based on defined system specifications/functional requirements. We design systems that are stress-free and easy to use for users. |
③ Detailed design (internal design) | We design the structure (functions and operations) of the system/application. We design the programming language used for development, determine the server/database/API linkage configuration, and take into account maintainability after production release. |
④ Program development/implementation | In line with the specifications determined in ① to ③ above, we will develop and construct the system/application configuration necessary by making full use of programming languages such as PHP and infrastructure (server/database) technology such as AWS. |
⑤ Unit test | This is the process of testing whether the functions of each program (system/application) implemented in ④ above work on an individual basis (unit). We verify that there are no program defects or bugs, and that functions operate correctly. |
⑥ Integration test | The multiple program units verified in ⑤ above are combined into one group and continued testing and verification. During this integration testing process, we also verify that there are no defects or bugs, and that the software is operating normally. |
⑦ Comprehensive test | We test the entire developed system, including the system/application and server/database/API. We verify that the developed system/application works as a finished product for actual use. |
⑧ Operational test (carried out by customer) | This is the process before delivering and releasing the system/application. This is the final test when customers and users actually use the system/application to confirm that it operates and functions in accordance with the expected system requirements. |
⑨ System migration (production release) | After verifying the quality of the system/application through the test steps ⑤ to ⑧ above, we move the system to the production environment. After that, it will be released (published) to customers, service users, and the market, and the service will begin. |
⑩ Operation and maintenance *Optional | We provide daily operation and maintenance support to ensure stable operation of systems/applications and infrastructure after delivery and release. We respond to unexpected system troubles and ongoing system maintenance and updates. |
* The above system development process and work content is an example of the "waterfall format".
Depending on the genre of the system being developed, some services/content may be released in stages and continuously, rather than all system/application functionality being released at once.
For system development that involves such requirements, the "Agile style" development method may be suitable. Please contact us separately for details.
