First product is Enterprise Cloud Storage Solution
May 12, 2009—Intec NetCore, Inc. (hereafter, ―Intec NetCore‖ or ―the Company‖), a member of theIT Holdings Group, is pleased to announce availability of in-house–developed cloud computing
technology for enterprises. This technology will underpin the realization of application platforms withexcellent performance, reliability and scalability that enterprises, universities and service providers canutilize in their own structures.
1. Background and Features
Created as a platform technology for online services—that is, services provided over the Internet—cloud computing technology has attracted attention as a tool for achieving a dynamically scalable
application platforms through the integration of numerous network-accessible computing resources.
Intec NetCore created the original technology, Private Cloud, with cloud computing technology, toenable users, particularly enterprises, to configure application platforms with superior performance,reliability and scalability in their own systems. In addition, Private Cloud will realize major cost savings,
because enterprises can build user-specific private cloud with inexpensive, general-purpose IA servers
and communication devices, such as routers and switches. A system built with this technology will costconsiderably less than a large-scale system customized to complex specifications.
2. First Solution
As a first step in private cloud–building solutions, the Company will introduce software for creating acloud-style storage system.
The storage solution incorporating this software will have the following performance, reliability,scalability and operability characteristics:
1.

4.

Outstanding accessibility through parallel processing.
Flexible programmability using multiplicity (data duplicity) to boost reliability.
Scalable capacity and performance through simple addition of devices.
Easy maintenance and operation, including plug-and-play capability and automatic disconnect if amalfunction occurs in the system.

The storage solution will debut at the 11th Data Storage Expo, an event running May 13-15 at Tokyo
Big Sight. It will be part of the display set up by A.T.Works, Inc.
IUK Inc. will handle sales and maintenance.
Intec NetCore will continue to pursue related R&D to expand cloud computing capabilities.
