August 2, 2011, New York, NY. KDDI America Inc., the U.S. division of KDDI CORPORATION, a Global Fortune 500 company and worldwide leader in international telecommunications services, announced today that the cloud service, KA-Kloud, a comprehensive solution combining network service, cloud platform, and systems integration is released in August 2011. The solution will provide businesses a smooth transfer to a cloud environment all while supporting a centralized maintenance environment.
KDDI America will be offering KA-Kloud to the existing customer base as well as new customers to provide them with a more cost effective solution to moving either a business application or data center to the cloud.

Speed, scalability, security and access from anywhere and anytime to your virtual servers are other reasons businesses are moving to the cloud.
KA-Kloud provides an IaaS service (Infrastructure as a Service) solution, in which virtual servers can be set up using two different operating systems, OS for Windows 2008R2 and additionally Cent OS5.6. The customers who would benefit from this service are those who want to move away from traditional server deployment to a more virtual solution for decreased cost and increased scalability.
