JFE Systems, Inc. (President and CEO: Makoto Iwahashi, Head office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo - hereinafter referred to as 'our Company') announced the launch of a 24/7 network operation/management service.
Our Company has been providing network integration services for over 20 years, including network planning, design, set-up and operations, for the JFE group and other major Japanese companies. Bringing this expertise together, we will be starting a network operation/management service on January 11. In addition, a full-scale network operation service with extended functions and scope will be available in April. Our broad portfolio of services includes network operation/management, such as failure and performance monitoring/control, configuration management, and integrated help desk.
The scope of service will be further extended to services needed for integrated IT asset management, and will focus on utility management of application servers (CPU) and storage, data management including application updates, data backup and virus protection.
[The Benefits of Introducing this System]
Outsourcing integrated management of IT assets currently carried out in-house to our company will enable you to enjoy high-quality network operation services at a reasonable cost, and many other benefits, including:
- Allowing employees to concentrate on their core business
- Improved service quality of IT assets management
- Cost saving in network operation management and training of network administrators, etc.
[Our Strengths]
- With our expertise in managing IT assets, acquired by working for the JFE group and other major Japanese companies over the last 20 years, we provide a broad portfolio of support services targeted at operation, including the set-up of a network operation standardization policy with the end user in mind, operation design, and operation system set-up. We especially pride ourselves on determining cause of failure through our integrated help desk service - for which there is a huge demand from users and which is not provided by any other company.
- As we are independent of all hardware and software vendors, we are able to offer the most suitable solutions and services to meet our customers' needs.
- 24/7 network management service is available, with a view to SLA (Service Level Agreement), according to ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library)

[Outlook for the Future]
The service will be gradually extended to application server management and IT system management, which we will provide to our existing customers along with network operation and management. At the same time, we will make a new service available to realize utility computing billed by frequency of use - as in the length of time and the amount of usage of IT assets such as applications, storages, and computers.
