1. BackgroundIn recent years, Japanese companies have been expanding business overseas, and their overseas bases arealso increasing. The Annual Report of Japanese Companies Operating Overseas, an annual survey conductedby the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, revealed that overseas bases of Japanese companies increased from32,495 bases in 2006 to 71,820 bases in 2016, about twice over the last decade. For those companies
operating overseas, it is critical to establish business infrastructures at overseas bases (including connection
with the company’s business system).
In addition, as the use of clouds is increasing among companies, needs for higher system availability are also
increasing from the perspective of disaster response or business continuity in the use of globally operated
cloud services, including configuration and backup of systems at different regions (geographically remoteand completely isolated places).
