Background of the offer
With the rapid development of cloud technology, the use of cloud servers is increasing, mainly for services provided by overseas companies. However, due to the continued weak yen since 2021, the cost of cloud servers and on-premise servers, which face rising electricity costs, are soaring. There is also a growing shortage of infrastructure engineers responsible for server operations (*3), further increasing operational costs. While interest in security measures is growing amid the increasing number of sophisticated cyberattacks and phishing scams, there are also concerns that there is a lack of know-how and personnel to implement sufficient measures
"ConoHa VPS byGMO Managed Pack" is a service that can solve all of these issues at once. By providing this service, we will contribute to reducing the server operation burden of many companies
