Launches the sale of "Treasure Data Cloud Data Warehousing Service," a Cloud Service for Big Data Analytics

SIOS Technology, Inc. (Head Office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and Representative Director: Nobuo KITA; listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Mothers Section; Code: 3744; hereinafter referred to as "SIOS") has concluded a sales partnership agreement with Treasure Data, Inc. (Head Office: California, United States; CEO: Hironobu YOSHIKAWA; hereinafter referred to as "Treasure Data") for the "Treasure Data Cloud Data Warehousing Service," a cloud service that facilitates the utilization of big data (hereinafter referred to as the "Treasure Data Service"), and today starts its sale officially in Japan.

Until now in order for a business to store and utilize large amounts of data containing non-structural data such as access logs of Web applications and GPS data, the business had to build and operate a system that uses expensive dedicated hardware and database software. In recent years the utilization of open source software represented by Hadoop has enabled a system to be built that can process larger amounts of data at a relatively lower cost than before. However, since exploitation of such software entails a high level of expertise, at present a limited number of businesses have introduced such systems in-house. The "Treasure Data Service" provides a foundation for utilizing large amounts of data that enables more businesses without a high level of expertise about software to introduce a system that utilizes such software by realizing the system as a cloud service. Also, the log collection function "Fluentd" for applications that was developed and has been made publicly available as open source software by Treasure Data has already been utilized by a wide range of businesses, and users utilizing the function can easily accumulate log data into the Treasure Data Service.

In order to enable corporate users to introduce the "Treasure Data Service" more quickly and with little trouble, SIOS will provide "SIOS Support for TD" (hereinafter referred to as "SSTD"), a support service for introduction such as import of large amounts of data and settings for periodical upload, integration of multiple data, cooperation with various types of BI tools.

The "Treasure Data Service" is available by subscription based on data volume and processing capacity for a monthly fee of 150,000 yen at minimum configuration. Also, "SSTD" will be offered based on individual estimates to fit customers' needs. For details of the "Treasure Data Service" and "SSTD," visit the following URL.

SIOS will provide support for innovation through new utilization of information by a greater number of businesses, by considering the provision of platforms for big data analytics as part of important strategies for cloud integration projects.
