We work with well-known technology partners to ensure easy integration with all standard enterprise components.
We offer three types of cloud set-ups:
- VW Series: A virtualization platform based on VMware – allows full customisation of operating systems and applications
- VW Utility Model: Small start with VW Series – same functionality with pay as you go type payment plan for the initial year
- VW-V Series: pre-package virtual servers in fixed configuration
All of our offers come with a wide range of network add-ons: Firewalls, load balancer, remote access and other components that bolt on to your IIJ GIO configuration.
Service from experienced cloud engineers
We’ve built our domain expertise over the last two decades as a networks solutions innovator for some of the most demanding clients on the planet. 70% of our employees are engineers and IT specialists, and they can help you, and your clients, with any aspect of IIJ GIO configuration and management:

Total cost transparency
IIJ is a global ISP, which means that we can offer IIJ GIO for a flat rate, with no long-term contract commitment. This flat rate is regardless of usage: unlike many cloud providers – who charge for outbound traffic – we don’t charge for incremental outbound internet traffic volume.
